I don't think it'll happen, but I signed it anyways.

All of these links should be edited into the OP.
edit: nvm, just noticed that a moderator must have removed all but one of the Reddit posts.
If you want to vote then vote with your money. I hope Rising sold enough to make Sega take notice.
Konami published the Steam version of Rising.
Sega, probably more than any other japanese dev or publisher, has really embraced steam the last 3 years or so. It's just that some of their decisions have been strange imo. Like giving us sega bass fishing instead of something like skies of arcadia. I think this petition is a good idea because it will give them an idea of the kind of games that will garner the most interest.
I picked up Rising day one, but Sega is an outsider on that deal.
Oh I know. It's just similar to the other Plat games in their backlog.Konami published the Steam version of Rising.

1800 signatures, unfortunately it appears whatever mod at reddit caught onto the r/steam post. It's been removed and it was our most successful reddit post, truly unfortunate.
What a travesty.
Complete joke. Reddit had spoken unanimously in favor of the ports. One power-drunk mod with an agenda changed that.
1,790 signatures, the petition has grown quite a bit since I last looked at it.
Yeah, but it is still a Platinum game, and if that one sells well on Steam, maybe Sega will look at Bayonetta, Vanquish, Anarchy Reigns or even Mad World. It could be a win for both companies. Platinum would get a lot more exposure and Sega could make some money on Steam.
Speaking of Sega PC ports, this thread made me pull out Daytona USA Deluxe and Sega Rally Championship 95 for Windows 95, just for laughs. I still have the discs for both these games. Though I also had the PC port of Panzer Dragoon, Virtua Cop and Virtua Fighter 2 as well, but I lost those years ago. First of all, both these games were a pain in the ass to install from the disc, I actually used Wine in my Linux Mint partition with Windows 95 comparability just to get either of these games to install. Once they were installed, I copied the directories over to my Windows 7 partition.
Both games actually do work on Windows 7, but Sega Rally suffers from some weird framerate fluctuation that makes it unplayable, it seems to hover between 30FPS and 37FPS when I look at it on fraps. The framerate judders so badly, that it makes the game unplayable, even on an i5 2500K. The game's max resolution is 640x480 at 16bit colour mode, and I can't switch to windowed mode unless I set my desktop to 16bit colour. On my screen these sreen shots were stretched to a horrible 16:9 aspect ratio:
My Logitech f310 gamepad actually works though, which was surprising to me, and the game music works too. But you need to have a CD in the drive for that.
Daytona USA Deluxe on the other hand does fare a little better. The game has a software rendering mode as well as a Direct3D mode.The framerate in software rendering is oddly stuck at 29FPS and never drops or goes over that number.
Playing the game in Direct3D mode adds filtering, perspective correction and a fox effect that you can control via a slider. Oddly when in Direct 3D the framerate is capped at 25FPS and never drops under or goes over it. It's quite strange. The games max resolution is still 640x480 at 16bit colour., this goes for both modes.
The game is actually playable at both framerates though, as they are consistent, but it's still sub 30. Gawd damn!
I would love to see the 360 XBLA port of Daytona USA get a release on PC, but I doubt it will ever happen with the Daytona license. But I wouldn;t mind it if they released the game on PC under the Sega Classic Racing title.
With that said, I would consider 2000 signatures in 24 hours a success. If we can get media attention somehow than I think we have a very good chance of getting an impact.
I will repost the reddit threads sometime down the line to garner some more votes.
You got fucked over by Reddit? Why would that happen?

No real overlap, except for automoderator which is presumably just a bot. You makin' enemies high up the food chain, Grief?
I guess Grief could always message one of the mods of each subreddit and ask what happened to his thread.
I was thinking that we could try and tweet Kamiya, Inaba, the other PG guys and developers of games we want to be ported about the petition, if they shows their support it could give the cause a boost, as far as audience goes, anyway.
Not just "do you want to port bayonetta to PC" because the answer would be "ask Sega", but something nicely written could be of some use.
Reddit's a fucking joke with their power hungry mods, it's a shame they have so much influence.
I think it's a great idea, me and grief both tweeted atsushi inaba. I would target Inaba explicitly, please tweet him!
March 2013? Nah, he's still been on his boycott since then.
It wasn't against the rules at all in r/pcmasterrace, a mod even participated in the masterrace thread.
Should we agree on something to write? It should be one nice tweet, even if broken in two or three parts, but we should do this only once and try and get their support.
Ah okay, thank you for clearing that up.
It sounded more like the moderator (TGxPatriot) was mocking the campaign.
Sega model 2 emulator by elsemi got your back covered.
Pc ports were great but nowadays arcade versions are better, plus the xbl port is just the emulated arcade rom.
It's easy to setup and it's the real thing.
By participation I largely meant he was there, he let it stand and it's odd that he did; had it been a violation it makes more sense he would have ended it there. It was within the rules judging by the sidebar so it should have stood.
Alex Donaldson, writer for VG247, has an account on GAF, but I don't remember his username, he wrote a 3 part story on NeoGAF. If someone knows his username I will gladly PM him about the campaign.
I'd love to help, I don't know but will ask around, just PM'd Angry Joe myself.
Thank you Taro.
Nice, I could definitely see him get on board.
I think we should just use the hashtag #segapcports, link to this thread or directly to the petition, or both if you can fit it in the character limit. If you really want a unified message I'd love to hear some ideas, bounce em off me. If we go forward with a unified address towards atsushi I'll paste it in the cluttered OP.
I was thinking about about a simple message, that should make clear that we are their fans, we play on PC and as such we'd love to see their games on the platform, so we started this campaign and if they agree with our idea we'd love a sign of support from them.
Some media attention!

If we manage to get more sites front-paging the petition, it would be really awesome and helpful.
And about the whole "Nintendo may have the rights to the first Bayo" thing. It is getting ridiculous. SEGA owns the rights to EVERYTHING Bayonetta related. Sega did more Bayonetta related things than Nintendo even after the Bayo 2 reveal. They made an anime movie, they released the first game on PSN and they finally released that art book. So why people believe NIntendo has anything to do with Bayonetta 1 is beyond me. Sega just gave the publishing rights for Bayo 2 too nintendo. That's all. Even (TW101 spoilers)so I'm pretty sure sega completely owns Bayonetta IP. Even Bayo 2 is "© 2013 Nintendo © SEGA" so I guess Nintendo doesn't even own Bayo 2 rights completely. Just the publishing rights.for having Bayo, Jeanne and Rodin in TW101, Ninty had to get Sega's permission.
The ever helpful Steamchat gaf found his twitter, not exactly what you wanted but if you wait for him to get active there and flick him a tweet with links he may see it?
Awesome, I'll send him a tweet. Thanks!
I wish the petition would've included Valkyria Chronicles and Resonance of Fate, since the petition isn't even targeting one single game, but several ones. I'm probably sounding like a
broken record, but I'm just sad that a small group of people decided on other people's behalf instead of including some form of choice or versatility or inclusion.
Dacwak is a gaffer and mod of r/gaming, why not ask him?
