Talk:List of Dreamcast homebrew games
Reduced the list to a human size
[edit]I've decided to reduce this list to all yet released games in order to have a good overview. Found it quite illogical to have more than 60% of unreleased projects in here, that were never released an some never came out of the early planing stages. For example, GOAT Store Games should have been released two years ago (see [1]) but not even screenshots or further info were released.

List of commercially released independently developed Dreamcast games → List of Dreamcast homebrew games – Much more simpler and recognizable name. Homebrew is the main term here, not 'commercially released independently developed'. G&CP (talk) 00:29, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Contesting Move
[edit]While I agree the title was very long for the page. Independent games and homebrew games are not the same. Bleem was an independent company. It was not associated with a major publisher but it was simply not homebrew.
Also indie games are normally sold commercially. Homebrew games are usually free but can occasionally be sold out of the developers website. Where as a commercial Dreamcast game is typically sold through various online distributors such as Play-Asia who actually published Hucast Ghost blade.
- Right, that's the reason I didn't name the list Dreamcast homebrew in the first place. The reason why I named the article List of commercially released independently developed Dreamcast games is because it's exactly what it says on the tin: they're commercially released, they're independently developed, and they're Dreamcast games. Right now, this list doesn't show that since people have been adding free homebrew like the SQRXZ series and BOR Mods, and that's not the purpose of the list. With the current name, that's bound to happen again since it no longer accurately describes what the list is about after the move. MetaFox (talk) 15:53, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
