I asked Sega on the phone about "dreamcast.com"



Yesterday at GIGAZINE, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of SEGA's home video game machine "Dreamcast"I perform a campaign in which I get an email address when I access "dreamcast.com"I told you that the domain "dreamcast.com" was previously held by SEGA, and now it is clear that it is not holding it.

So I asked the public relations department of Sega about the reason why SEGA did not hold the original "dreamcast.com", the future response, and whether there is re-entry into home game machines .

Details are as below.
Q1:
According to Mainichi Newspaper's news site "Everyday jp", "The company has not already owned an address", but why was the domain of Sega before "Dreamcast.comHas Sega abandoned the domain name of?

Sega:
Regarding the reason for abandonment, it means that "I have not acquired it" rather than abandoning it. The business of Dreamcast ended including the manufacture of hardware, so it is in this way as a result.

Q2:
Will Sega regain the domain name "dreamcast.com" again?

Sega:
Regarding the future response of the domain, it is currently under consideration, including concrete directions.

Q3:
According to "Engadget Japanese", "We are considering appropriate response to this site", but what exactly are you planning to do in concrete terms?

Sega:
The specific countermeasure method is also unknown here and is currently under consideration.

Q4:
Notice of recommendation notice etc. is not posted anywhere in the site of Sega at this time on this matter, but is there a plan to publish it?

Sega:
We are not posting news etc. on the official website at the moment, but there are no plans to publish in the future.

Q5:
Although there are still a lot of fans of Dreamcast as a matter of fact in this case, the faithful faithful to the company called Sega was revealed, but from Sega the next generation hardware,Dreamcast 2Is not there planning to develop something like?

Sega:
We are currently doing business as a multi-platform compatible software maker, and we will continue to do business in such a way in the future.

So, although it is still "dreamcast.com" that is still closed and not accessible at the moment, it is unclear at this moment who is using this site for what purpose.
