Sony - In April 1999, a California court denied Sony's case against Bleem that would keep the company from publishing its PlayStation emulator for the Dreamcast. Bleem sued Sony for allegedly using its influence to halt the company's ability to successfully sell its emulator. Bleemcast was a software program that would allow some PlayStation One games to be played on the Sega Dreamcast console. Although bleem won all of its court cases the time and money lost during the cases caused the company to close down in November of 2001.
