I'm so glad this actually seemed to have worked, always felt like a bit of a long-shoot, but I had hope it would get us somewhere.
Goes to show that there's no harm in trying.
Buying VC so fast when it's released.
Now to hope the other two come as well, and that Kamiya picture gives me hope.

Me too! Giveaway in the steam thread whenever this comes out.
And I'll gladly take one of those.
Oh by the way, the #SegaPCPorts Thunderclap campaign was successful, it gained 176 supporters, the goal was set to 100 supporters so that is pretty good. The question is, what the hell is the actual outcome of this campaign? I am not sure, but I received this email from Thunderclap.

Nope. Custom engine and the game is PS3 exclusive.

For any stragglers, it still isn't too late to sign things...

Thanks Guise!
Nah but seriously. We need those too!

Yeah for sure, keep signing if you like folks. Especially if you want to see the rest of the games included in the #SEGAPCPorts campaign

Valkyria Chronicles is pretty much the best game SEGA has made for a long while, imo, good news that it's coming to PC

Gimmie Vanquish and VF5.
Superb. Thanks for your effort.
Yes. I gifted all of my friends Dark Souls 1 on Steam after Durante released his fix.

I know right? I also won one of those Taco Bell PS4's at 2:30 AM last night. I'm on a roll.
We're working on it.
In the excitement of everything, I forgot to mention: We surpassed 13k signatures!
Oh look, it worked.
You can

Yes, you can. That's going to get expensive though.
Tell your friends to sign
You're welcome.
Rule Breakerz unite. Port begging infractions all over the place in here.

Thank you greatly, TaroYamada! I don't know if you can disclose your involvement with this, but I get the feeling SEGA's taken the hint.

what is money for, if not to get people to play virtua fighter with you?

That's generous, the sentiment is appreciated. It gave me a chuckle too, so thanks for that.
Kickstarting books about SEGA Genesis? I hear you, I'll meet you in battle so long as you don't mind my main being Lau Chan. I haven't touched a console since 2011 though, so you should be able to defeat me handily.
Lau loves mirrors. He's been tryna get that phoenix mirror from that Hazuki kid since the 80's.

Good news and I'm genuinely surprised but I feel VC isn't going to sell well on PC.
I had it on PS3 and loved it. Would buy it again but if I was to guess, it would sell like shit on PC and ruin the chances of any other older titles.
Vanquish on the other hand would sell like hotcakes.

I wouldn't know about that. Strategy games have an audience on PC, and anime games seem to be gaining traction lately. Could work.
Vanquish definitely makes the most sense to me though.

It's trending worldwide on Twitter if that means anything. I think strategy games like this have a lot of potential on PC.

If Final Fantasy XIII can get an all time peak of 8,320 players I'm certain VC can break that.

I should probably clarify since I'm thinking some might misunderstand what I contributed; I wrote the petition on change and pushed publications to write about us. I'd been thinking of such a petition for a while but felt I wouldn't be able to garner support from the PC community for a campaign like this. In a way I was right because we never managed to get PCGamer or RockPaperShotgun to write about us and we really could have used their traffic. Other PC gaming sites like IncGamers did give us some coverage though. Anyways, when Grief made the original push here on GAF I realized I was, at least in part, wrong. I ended up writing the petition to push the campaign in the direction SEGA felt would be most convincing. I don't work at SEGA though and I have an incomplete picture of what's happening behind the scenes, I did know some stuff. I knew Valkyria Chronicles was coming a few months back. I know more but people told me in confidence and I'll be keeping my word on such things. I will say this: If you want the other games, you should absolutely keep pushing the petition and if you have interest in Valkyria Chronicles you should buy it.
I think the main folks to thank (if you want to single folks out) are Grief (original twitter push), nillansan (who provided near constant moral support for what I was doing in the first couple of weeks despite a small amount of naysayers, he also made the thunderclap), Sajjaja (who was useless), Dario (who made the original campaign video), Draikin (who made a video for Valkyria Chronicles to be included in the campaign) and Krusenstern (not sure if he's still on gaf but he helped with press pushes quite a bit).
Sorry about the parens folks. So many.

No credits for me? I see how it is.
Good job to all involved, still trying to get my friends' eyes on it as well.

Wow, pretty nuts how this actually ended up working, and with the hardest game on the list! Now the challenge would be Bayo 1 on PC. I feel that it's going to be the last one because it's currently being promoted heavily by Nintendo, and I'm sure they wouldn't want a different port to take away from it.
And I also hope that we eventually get Anarchy Reigns in there because I want to play Blitzball again.
