FPGA console gets announced, guy behind the project is kinda weird, multiple demonstration videos are cheaply faked, project scales back, guy is actually really weird, more fake demos, SEGA shuts down the project, people charge back their pre-orders, guy turns to alcohol and does a bunch of drunk interviews/voicemails, and then he doxes his supporters while trying to prove he didn’t commit fraud.
I really suggest you watch it though.

Haven’t watched the video, but I followed most of the debacle. The guy isn’t the most stable and it’s not the first time he scams people with a fake product.

The whole video is wild. I had a huge paragraph written, but decided to delete it because whatever I write doesn’t do justice to how bizarre the whole interaction is/was.
Count me as one who was skeptical but otherwise onboard with buying a Dreamcast FPGA. Glad I didn’t put money down.
