Tolerance of Fangames
ProtoGame likes fangames as much as Sega does, but they need to get the fangame free under any circumstances and get licensed

Trivia

 * Their first 3 consoles saw commercial moderate sucess on their respective times (200K, 6 Million and 14 Million With the Debut, Sequel and 3rd Crash respectively
 * ProtoGame sued Data Design Interactive because of the Myth Makers series being a rip-off of Mitsuki's Universe of Menace for $5,000,000, ProtoGame was the victor and Data Design Interactive went bankrupt because of the lawsuit, which does not help is that the fact Mitsuki was made 8-9 years before DDI even made Trixie in Toyland
