While older commercial Dreamcast games exist in a legal gray area of abandonware, Xenocider is a modern commercial project built by passionate independent developers. Purchasing official releases directly from Retrosumus or authorized distributors ensures that the indie Dreamcast development community continues to thrive, paving the way for future homebrew masterpieces.
