>You get the boot disc, problem solved.
No regular person was going scour those in favor not buying a legit game they could just boot up.
>The only people who pirated games off of the net were the people with Cable or T1 or universities. Everyone else just bought shit from street vendors.
Where do you live, but that wasn't the case in the US.
>The good ones were, new games got available soon after launch, and more and more old titles got added, literally every day there was a new release
No they weren't.
>The price list I still have saved dates to 2001 June
Six months after the platform died and Sega became a third party. Not an argument.
>The worst problem was some games missing cd audio, which was fucking nothing.
So now games like Virtual On which used redbook audio now have no music. No one is going to pirate that.
>Over here, software sales basically all died up once the boot discs came out.
Where do you live dipshit?
>And if software does not sell, then publishers don't have a reason to publish new games, do they
Or they already have advanced knowledge of the system dying like how Valve and Gearbox did when they cancelled their port of Halflife.
>piracy killed the Dreamcast.
In your back water shithole country that was never a blip in sales to begin with.

>and Sega wouldn't admit to their console having a problem even today let alone in 2001.
Considering the last DC revision patched out reading CDRs, they knew and did something about it, just like how Sony fought mod chip installations with new bios.
>They make money on selling software, with the hardware just being a platform for it. If nobody buys your software because they can get it for $5 under the counter, then the hardware is now useless as a platform
Didn't kill PC games, or the PSP.
>EGM is and always was full of shit. Did you manage to find Shen Long in SF2 yet?
Editorial =! April Fools cheat codes from 1992.

Piracy did not kill the Dreamcast.
