There's a website out there offering latest indie titles - which I won't name. It should be taken down immediately.

I've had a bit of a think overnight and honestly I feel that the Dreamcast just isn't the right platform for what I want to achieve looking ahead.
I'll probably keep my dev stuff to tinker with here and there, but I won't be releasing anything further commercially

Kickstarter does help get the ball rolling, but it also imposes many obligations on devs, who often still have to invest a lot of their own time and money. In my experience, resellers (as well as most, but not all publishers) invest only a fraction of what I as a dev do. So I respectfully disagree with your analysis.

I agree with this the time and effort could never even be paid back..
