I think since the game's been out for a while and all the hype over the whole situation is over, it's about time to reflect back with clearer minds exactly what happened with MN9. Dust, while one of my favorite inde games, is not the only example of a far superior game with a fraction of the budget. Freedom Planet was put out at half the cost it took to make Dust. Even looking back at it now, MN9 seems like such a blunder.

When it's not your money to spend/waste, you can spend a ton for minimal return.

Edit: Also, if you wanted more MegaMan, there's tons of rom hacks out there that cost nothing and don't have credits longer than the game.
