Ok, you're good to go. Prepare for a very charming game!
I am still hoping that we will get more coverage once we hit our 10K milestone.

29 sigs away.
I admire your ability to keep the faith brother, you have a lot more faith in the games press than I certainly do.
We have just hit 10.001 signatures.
Some of the larger outlets didn't report on the Dark Souls Petition until it hit a major milestone, I am hoping that our 10K milestone is newsworthy, we'll see. We may need another Twitter push.

This is great news. I hope we'll be able to get another push. Even only 15k would be pretty good, considering the last two months.

I want Bayonetta on my PC!
That is all.
That is all.

This is significant. Every little helps. Perhaps a second push can be organised.

I'll talk to grief and we'll restart the twitter push on the remaining outlets, I'll also compose an email update to send out to supporters to get them on board. We'll probably get on this starting tomorrow. I intend to do a giveaway on Steamgifts this week, I really want to thank everybody who has thus far donated games to the steamgifts promotion effort. It's been very helpful in getting us, slowly but surely, to 10k.
Great News!
Great News!

Nearly done composing the email, some folks are gonna read over it and give me their critiques before I finally send it out later today.
As for our hopes of more press coverage, I found Cinemablend had reported us on their gaming page and IncGamers gave us another story for the 10k landmark!

Yup.
Let me know if I can help out.
Edit: Oh I see that you have already tried to contact me.

I sent you a message on steam, take a gander. Also nearing 10,100.

We've broken 10,100 but I'm posting mainly to update you all on the status of the next press push. The email will be sent monday because upon further investigation I've been informed of a ridiculous change rule:
There is potential, if I were to send the email today and if change decided to moderate said email, it may not arrive until the weekend, which I've deemd too risky. Instead I will be sending it monday but it may not show in your inboxes until midweek.
Sorry folks.

I tweeted at AngryJoe, TotalBiscuit (total shot in the dark), Northernlion, IGN, PC Gamer, Giantbomb, Gamespot and SEGA.
EDIT: And Northernlion replied saying

"@Sajjaja might be more intrigued if they'd stop content ID matching my rare sega videos and striking Shining Force content"
WHAT DO GUYS?

I have re-tweeted all your tweets.

Retweeted all of them, I was pretty sure they had quit the Content ID matching shat. I wonder if they are still doing that or if he's referring to the past event as a reason he is wary to cover us?

Just a minor update, I received a reply to my PM from Clumsy (SEGA Community Manager):
Nice. Thanks for the update.
Very awesome!

At least, it's not over yet. But I can't help to think that we'd be far away if websites talked about this...

You can't even blame them.
It's not their job to talk about stuff on demand, nor they own us anything.
Awesome!
Ahhh the signatures are speeding up again
Lets hope more sites will pick this up.====
Also big thanks to IncGamers, they have been with us since the very beginning.
I was just catching up with the last few 8-4 play podcasts, and in the one from February 21th (I choose you Aajst(???? ) they had Ethan Einhorn, Director of Online Operations an SEGA of America, on the show and asked him all kinds of questions regarding SEGA properties.
Two things that bothered me a bit were that (A) none of the questions concerned Outrun (reboot, re-release, sequel, etc.), and that (B) the 8-4 crew seemingly had not picked up on this petition for PC ports either and thus didn't ask Ethan about it. I feel that especially the petition topic could have lead to some results (especially when compared to their other far more obscure / unlikely requests like a new Burning Rangers or Golden Axe).
Maybe there are people here that can try and contact someone from the 8-4 crew and request that they bring up this petition to their friend Ethan? We can also try to post about it in the 8-4 thread on GAF assuming that it is still actively updated(?).
As expressed before: these games deserve to be preserved through a good PC port, and deserve to find new audiences on PC as well. It;s good we exceeded 10 Thousand signatures, but we need people like Mark and the 8-4 crew to spread the word to the correct people as well.

That's a bummer that they didn't ask him, especially over Burning Rangers (and I say that as somebody who enjoyed Burning Rangers).
Just a reminder that I'll be sending the email update tomorrow, at the latest it should arrive wednesday, if Change puts it into their moderation queue. Please tell me when you've received it. We are at 10,343 signatures at this time.
Also more press from our friends at SEGABits.
Nice, I am going to continue with the giveaways, they are definitely helping, but not as much as I had hoped.

I've written an article on a website I work for. I need Yakuza on PC, it's been my dream for so long.
I named my cat after Kazuma, I love the game that much.

Can you post a link to your article? Thank you for the coverage.

Remember to tell me when you all start receiving the email, unsure if they'll send me a copy at the same time or if they will send me one at all as I'm the petition creator. When it arrives our secondary press push will begin.
I haven't gotten one yet.

I'd love VF 5 on pc, it will likely kill my wrists (always struggled with VF 5 on the 360 controller) but it's highly addictive
For sure!

Dear Sega: Please do this for Platinum at least, their games deserve a second chance at success on a platform more likely to treat them right.
Yes!
And has the opportunity to, cheaply, create a larger audience that is interested in the sequel.

Yes, do it for Mother Platinum.
Thank you for sending me the link to the article.
Here is Burgess' article about the #SegaPCPorts campaign.
Fans petition SEGA to bring console only games to PC
We're about to break 10,400!
Yes! Maybe if this happens and the sales are good, SEGA would work with Platinum again for Bayo 3 and Vanquish 2. One can dream, right?
