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.

Bernie Stolar was also to blame because he was the reason a majority of the Dreamcast library was not localized outside of Japan

Huh, never thought I'd see a reference to Don McLean in the wild that wasn't American Pie.

I thought it was a NOFX song for years

Too soon...

What makes me happy though is the Dreamcast is still going strong today with fan translations, indie games (and more) and online play.
