Well done Taro! 10K here we come!

Thanks for your valuable, undeniably factual, and non-opinionated input on the matter.
Nah, I don't think that's it.
People don't realize the Dark Souls petition was a huge anomaly. It takes more or less a perfect storm for a petition to gain steam like that.
For a game related petition to get 10K signatures is already very rare.
Not reaching the goal does look bad though, a lot worse than it would if the goal was 10k.
20K is still very reachable though IMO.
Is it okay to do that in General forum? If so, I'll make one!

This. I can actually see it happening.
I hope they can also do smaller games like Puyo Tetris.

how the uck did the dark souls petition hit 600k?
Probably a good idea, just been doing the exact same thing since the beginning with some minor word changes lol.
Is that relevant?
Other than the Nintendo deal for Bayonetta all of these properties, Virtua Fighter, Vanquish, Valkyria Chronicles, are generating a negligible amount of revenue for Sega right now.
Console sales trend towards front-loaded then cannibalized by the used market quickly. PC sales are high in the beginning, but only sell more and more copies over time.
Even if they aren't getting sequels, porting them to PC will allow them to collect that profit for decades on properties that are essentially worthless at this time.
Oh yes! We got through to them!
Next up RPS, Polygon, etc.
With the GAF crew mobilized I generally get 15-30 retweets on something.
Hasn't even hit 100k yet!

20k is too low a number(it's not even halfway there) for Sega to even consider porting one single game and this campaign is aiming to get multiple Sega games. Dark Souls got close to 100k people and when it finally came out: it was a year old, straight console port that needed fixing.
Dark Souls II Wii U petition had 10,000 more signees and the producer exploded in laughter when asked about a Wii U version

Wrong. Sega was happy with Vanquish's performance. Not pulling COD numbers doesn't mean failure. PC port would increase the games visibility to non console players.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but aren't third party games in general doing quite poorly on the Wii U? This is a genuine question. I haven't been following Nintendo that closely, but what I have gathered so far is that first party games are doing well, while third party support is dwindling due to poor sales.
Also, the PC has several well established digital distribution platforms, does the Wii U have anything going for it in that regard?
Yes most third party games are performing like shit on the Wii U. It's not even comparable to a release on Steam/PC.
It sold almost a million copies, if you budget the development and marketing correctly then that should still turn a profit.

It'll be added to the targets, we'll do another press push monday.
Is it awful that I'm hoping the announcement comes during that?

Valkyria Chronicles would be nice.

I need Valkyria Chronicles and more Platinum straight into my veins.

Hopefully Platinum will put a bit more effort into how their mouse controls work if they end up porting Vanquish.
After finishing Bayonetta on my new ps3, i went and bought Valkyria, Demos Souls and Vanquish. Couldn´t wait for SEGA to decide what to do
I also bought FF XIII

There was actually a really strong demand for it, it was a focused campaign, and it began with the publisher stating that they would consider a port if demand was demonstrated
I don't think it got 100k, but it got 66k in a week
I'm still wondering if we're ever going to get more Dreamcast classics. I remember someone at Sega saying they were aware that Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia were the most requested DC games they hadn't done already.
Honestly, more than anything else from SEGA right now, I want Skies of Arcadia on Steam. I would probably pay $20 for that shit.

Sega Bass Fishing sitting pretty in my library tho -___-
Skies of Arcadia would be amazing on PC.
PC gamer article might be incoming on Monday. Get a good push from that.

Well, I don't see us getting an RPS article anytime soon. Seems like all their energy is focused on the present Public-Domaingate incident between them and a bunch of industry Has-Been's going on right now.
Fingers crossed on that PCGamer article.

PCGamer article, didn't happen, unfortunately. I did the SEGANerds Cast over the weekend, this upcoming weekend I may be on SEGABits podcast. We're still doing ~100 signatures a day but it sucks to lose momentum none the less.
Otherwise I found another video promoting #SegaPCPorts on twitter, this one focuses on Virtua Fighter 5.

Just tweeted this out to try to get VG247's attention, give it a retweet or tweet the same people.

Retweeted aswell
Thanks guys.
Its nice to get all the head writers for a publication in one swoop.
I also changed the link to Eurogamer per Nillansan's advice. I thought about linking to the thread, but some people don't take 'forum spam' seriously.
Yeah, that's even better!
It also helps that Eurogamer is a well-respected and mainstream journalism source. They will be more inclined to check out the story at that point.

Tweeted those guys as well. But I'm losing my hope the more time passes without anything significant from either SEGA or the campaign.
Most definitely.
I re-tweeted your messages as well. I think that Clumsyorchid's posts in the Sega forum are quite heartening, they remind me of Tony Shoupinou's posts that led to the Dark Souls campaign.
Has he been posting more information? Or are you just referring to his original posts?
Yea it's too bad Totalbiscuit refuses to cover anything Sega (since they screwed him with some copyright claim horseshit) cause that'd give the campaign a massive boost as it did when he covered the Dark Souls petition.
