Advertising the Dreamcast to the masses

Post#1 » Thu Sep 14, 2017 7:13 am

There are several YouTubers whom broadcast themselves playing the Dreamcast online on a regular basis. For many this is the first introduction to the fact that the Dreamcast is back online and active. It certainly was for me regarding the practicality of the DreamPi over BBA. The view counts on these videos appear to be slowly growing over time as the fanbase grows, but is tiny in comparison to Pro-YouTubers who broadcast there modern online gameplay.

THOUGHT:
If one of the popular YouTube gamers uploaded a video of them self playing the DC online which would be viewed by millions, could this increase the amount of DC online users? And is this something we want?

IDEA:
A possibility could be to contact one of these guys and ask them if they would be interested in such an idea. As a community we could donate a working online Dreamcast setup for them to play and exhibit.

What are others thoughts?

CGR would be a great idea. That is the sort of thing he would love. He wouldnt require a dreamcast. Only a DreamPi setup. Good call
