    Why in the hell did Sega not put up any sort of anti pirating safeguards on this thing? Even my buddy who was always talking about how dreamcast was the best system, had a stack of all the Dreamcast games copied, because the Dreamcast would read and play copied games.

    It was killed by its own fan base and lack of anti pirating

      Oh but it did, first the GD-ROM that had 1GB and the only way to get the games into a CD was to cut the assets making it a worse experience and… playing recorded CD-ROMs on a Dreamcast was a very efficient way to destroy its drive.
