https://xcancel.com/Dragami_Games/status/1983817771134926879#mDLSite was expected since Dragami has released games there before, but I'm kinda surprised about GOG since they were giving off mixed messages with Tokyo Clanpool and apparently cutting off Kagura Games, but I guess they don't wanna miss a good chance to dunk on Steam.
>>724544153BASEDSEX WITH RINZE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Do you people refresh twitter all day just looking for shit to repost here? Not complaining just asking
>>724544325Two other people happened to post a thread as soon as I did. Blame the 300 second timer.
>>724544153LOL pirates are eating good.
>>724544153>releasing on GOGwhere are the steamies who said it's Visa and Mastercard's fault now? STEAM HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY YOU RETARDED FAGGOTS
>>724544435>NOOOOOOO THEY HAVE TO APPROVE MY PEDOPHILE GAYMES
>>724544485They don't have to anymore. GoG has me covered
>>724544153not on steam = not buying
>>724544435They bend in to VISA and MASTERCARD demansGoG could be as well..... But recently they made a statement agaisnt Payment Processor by giving out lots of ecchi and hentai games for free.We'll see.
>>724544725Reminder that it wasn't them making the statement. It was a single publisher listing about 11 of their titles for free, pretty much all of which were low quality "chapter 1" type WEGs. It was just an opportunistic publisher looking to get people into their games so they'd buy the sequels.
>>724544725I guess nothing is guaranteed until it finally releases. I like how they are fighting the uphill battle against DRM in PC gaming.I hope it actually releases for the love of god or I'll import the switch version
>>724544209AMAZING NEWSWE WILL BE BEARING AN ENTIRE FOOTBALL TEAM AND NOBODY CAN STOP US
>>724544872DLSite exist. but You need to go through hoops (Like VPN if you live in cucked country) to buy from that platform nowadays
>>724544153steam lost, 0 copies sold there = shit worthless platform
>>724544435I mean for the most part it literally is Visa, MC, and a couple other processors doing it, we know that to be the case because they said so themselves.As for why this is on GOG or DL and not steam? could be steam trannitor being gay again, could still be visa and MC, just because it isnt banned on other sites doesnt mean its not their faultsteam, in fear of losing visa and MC payments, are having to be kikes with contentadditionally, visa and MC are so out of touch with games its likely whoever pulls these switches have no idea about it and arent up to date, aka, theyre not banned elsewhere - yet.it is you, who is being retarded.
>>724544325>>724544153Censor-kun, how will you survive without food snaps now?
>>724544153>xcancel
>>724544930The only country that needs a VPN to buy from the site at all is germany(because the whole site is blocked there).
>>724545487It lets you view the feed in chronological order, not whatever algorithmic nonsense Musk came up with after his latest Ketamine bender.If you go to https://x.com/Dragami_Games , that post isn't anywhere near the top when not logged in
>>724544435It's part that part Mary tranny not liking anime
>>724545085>it is you, who is being retarded.There was no need for this statement, it's implied with the anime image. It's like calling a frogposter pathetic: redundant
New minister should make it national mandate to ban all japanese developers from releasing on steam until japan get their exclusive reviewer comitee free from western bullshit, they will fold really quick afterwards.
>>724544435It was Steam's fault for this case but you'll see the game getting pulled from GOG soon enough once it's released because then it'll be the credit card companies bitching about 2D anime games while they fund real underage porn and human trafficking.
>>724544153wow now they will sell 130 units instead of 1,300.it's so over for them. no ecchi game will be made ever again. it's just not profitable.
>>724544153>GOGPerfect, day 1 buy. Not sure if pestering their Dreamlist about the game and the release trailer on their twitter mattered, but this is the best outcome. I'll be able to grab the files and not have to worry about somebody censoring it in the future.>kinda surprised about GOG since they were giving off mixed messages with Tokyo ClanpoolTrue, but I feel compelled to pick it up since I did ask for it to get released there.
>>724545897This is great idea, actually.1. BAN STEAM from Japan2. Ban Japanese games to be released on Steam3. Mandate Japanese games that are already on Steam to be pulled outDemand Steam stuff that'd allow FAIR reviews of their game, like having Japanese personnel to review them instead of Mary.
>>724545980Its a 10 year old game released during the peak of Junior Idol days
>>724546031kek, god I fucking hate VISA and Mastercard
>>724546041We should put a blockade on Japan denying them access to all new technology and forcing them to keep making vidya for us using late 00s tech. I think the Japanese would actually prefer this and it would be the best for all involved
>>724546031nice pasta
>>724545690>It lets you view the feed in chronological orderWhy in the holy fuck it is not the normal way to see tweets?
>>724544153HAHAHA FUCK STEAM
Tranny thread
Straight male thread actually.
>>724544153>>724544325Why do weebs seems to get more offended about japanese games than japanese themselves? kek
>>724547524It's the modern white man's burden to get offended on behalf of other races.
>>724547524You cant read japs. Japs are seething as much as we do
>>724544153kwhy is it always the weird fringe games that get a disproportionate amount of attention on /v/
>>724547735Don't worry, there will be exactly zero posts about it once it releases.
>>724547735Diddy ass board
>>724544435GOG is legit too inconspicuous for the companies to notice.
>>724547854As long as The Witcher and Cyberpunk (especially the Anime) exists, everyone gonna notice GOG
In other news Majogami got delayed too for reasons...https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3837380/view/758419772105818126
>>724544153So the game is free? Nice.
>>724547997
>>724547997Yeah Japs needs their own Mary representative at this rate. Hopefully Steam will accidentally ban big pubs games like Bamco or Konami
>>724547997already posted >>724539819which kinda explains the caco preemptively seethingwonder if this will finally start to shift the public opinion of valve into seeing them as the good goyim they really aredoubt it with the literal cult following steam has however
>>724548172>wonder if this will finally start to shift the public opinion of valve into seeing them as the good goyim they really areBro steam has been doing this for bearly a decade now lmao
>>724547854ThisDLSite doesn't use themGOG is just so small it flies under the radar
>>724548214from the griftubers that jewtube keeps trying to shove in my face due to daring to watch one jrpg guide/tutorial video i can tell people are actually calling out valve for the loveR kiss shithence i wondered if this is what does valve in once and for all or another nothingburger
>>724548172If the Chaos;Head debacle didn't get them to reevaluate their shit, this sure won't.
>>724548275NothingburgerPeople saw Rinze and immediately sided with the bad because theyre twofaced snakes
Just realize theres a no way to get Tokyo Clanpool uncensored version. Fuck....
Hope it sells well on the Switch
>>724548451You cant mod Rinze to nude on switch
>>724548531i have mod fatigue, nothing i like ever gets mods and at the point i have to learn to do so myself i would rather program my own game
>>724548586Your game is stolen once your console breaks
So wheres the GOG page?
>>724548631Rich coming from a steamgoy that hasn't seen physical ownership for over a decade and almost two by now.

>>724548638https://x.com/SweetOne_KG/status/1983810691061707168Scheduled for 3 hours from now.I'll be sceptical of its release if it doesn't accept payment.
>>724548712>>724548638a lot can happen in a monthbut im hopeful
>>724547154wink wink nudge nudge make an account >:)
>>724548676Did i say Steam in the first place, Schizo ???
>>724547735The people who mostly post in these threads are no different than the crowd who celebrates diversity in video games: they make a buzz on social media (4chan, in this case), but don't even buy the games.
>>724547735Why are you surprised that an otaku board talks about otaku games and rages when they get persecuted? Barely anywhere else on the English speaking web is talking about this.
>game banned on steam>nonstop threads>game saved by gog>barely anyone caresWhere the fuck are the celebrations
>>724549997No one cares
>>724549997I dont care if it releases on other pc storesAnd this isnt some muh steam tribalism shitThe whole point of releasing on steam is that it helps these games sell moreAnd I get pissed that the game lost the opportunity to make more money
>>724549997I'm here. I already have a GOG account as well.The silver lining to this (for me at least) is that I prefer DRM-free releases anyway, which probably wouldn't have happened if the Steam release didn't fall through, but I know that came at the cost of all those potential Steam sales.
>>724544153cool beans
I prefer Kinosei
>>724550127Yeah this. I forgot which r-18 publisher said it but there releases on GOG barely moved the needle if at all. A single steam release still runs laps around other PC storefronts. That's why it's so important that Mary get lynched
steamies won't buy a game they want JUST because it's not on steam.shit is a cult, hopefully with them pissing everyone off lately people will realize this.
>>724549997i don't care with gog because i will buy it on DLsite regardless, but im glad they have alternative at least
>>724550450I'm getting this on GOG but I'll be double dipping if it ever comes back to Steam.
>>724550804Or maybe we're just not pedophiles.Let that sink in.
>>724550868>We
>>724550982Gal Guardians has 1k reviewsThats pretty good for a niche indie
So this doesn't even have any sexual content? What is the big deal then?
>>724551634School girls triggered steam (and sony over a decade ago)
>>724544725Valve doesn't seem to actively be pushing restrictions that are common place with payment processors since the batch over the Summer. For example, a quick look shows multiple R18 on Steam without an offsteam patch hypnosis games, with hypnosis in the name (such as Hypnosis App! and Hypnosis Card 2 Happy Life), that would clearly be against what Visa/Mastercard allow when they are pressuring a platform to block specific types of content. Just going back to the Summer purge, the majority of content hit was done with hitting keywords that payment processors have targeted elsewhere.Mastercard and particularly Visa have been awful in blocking content across the internet, including with the blocks of a large number of Steam games during the Summer, but Valve's restrictions with anime style art titles in the review process both long predates the action they took when payment processors actually stepped in and content that has been blocked vs not blocked seems to be quite different then the restrictions actively being pushed by payment processors when they are actively forcing restrictions on a platform.
>>724551634Two big or should I say very small reasons.
>>724551672Yeah this is just Steam going back to its old directive of seething at lolis
>>724551634CERO C/D ecchi content in a school setting gets you banned just as fast as R18 content in a school setting if you aren't a big publisher. Valve has actively been blocking even just suggestive content based on character design and setting for a few years now.Ecchi titles are somewhat at a higher risk of getting bans since they are push by publishers who often aren't willing to entertain an off-Steam patch (figuring they don't need to since they aren't working with porn) compared to R18 titles which are used to doing patches and just sanitize their Steam build to the point where all fanservice, suggestive dialogue, and R18 content are all removed from the Steam build for a patch, which allows nearly anything to get a release on Steam that is intended to be patched, such as how OniGyu got onto Steam.
>>724544153With every passing year I love GOG more and more, no DRM, you can pay and DL over the website; no need for proprietary shit, just copy paste or even burn your installers; unironically superior to regular physical mediaOn one hand I want them to become just as successful as steam but on the other they'll probably end up the same way if they doBut I exclusively buy my shit there now
>Japan refused to declare war on Poland>called them a samurai nation>extensive academic collaboration post war>GOG is now a bastion of hentai gamesI don't understand the geopolitics of some random slav country and an island of weird yellow people on the other side of the planet being so friendly.
>>724552082GOG also signs the executables with their own cryptographic key so if you buy malware it's on them legally. Steam just YOLOs the entire process and it's up to the publisher to do all of that. If you buy malware Valve just says whoops and sends you an email. Go cry to the publisher, bitch.
>>724552363I didn't even know thatFucking based
I'll get it on DLSite. Fuck GOG.
>>724552134Dont celebrate yet. GOG censors Tokyo Clanpool
>>724544153>GOGThis is unironically better than it just releasing on Steam. Please pay for the game everyone!
>>724552818We don't even know GoG's own story on this. All we have is the publisher's take which is dubious at best
>>724552998Good for us not good for the games sales unfortunately
>>724544325it's bots anon
>>724554392I can attest that I am not a bot. I don't know about the other two, though.
>>724554392Based bots
>>724554392Your dumb ass is a bot

>>724547524ello gcj
kagura got cut off from gog because kagura kept providing malware infested ddls from f95 to gog, lmao
>>724552998I'll be honest, I'm not interested in this kind of game, I just wanted to try the NextFes demo because of the threads that hyped it up. But I also feel obligated to support it since they're bothering to keep up with the western PC release despite censorship attempts. But that depends on GoG not also rugpulling them within the next month. Any news on if they're going to release that demo, at least?
>>724555067They're planning to do a demo at the Akihabara Game Show in November. Don't know if it'll be the PC or Switch version, but I expect the latter because of all the trouble with Steam.https://xcancel.com/Dragami_Games/status/1983012717234655495#m
>>724544435GOG is pretty based when it comes to this stuff.They've got most of the Rance games, Evenicle 1/2, and various loli/shota porn games.
>>724548172Denounce visa and mastercard
>>724544435I never said that, it's really just Valve being retarded. One can only hope they get Luigi'd at this point.
>>724544153Do the girls have canon ages?
>>724544153GOG isn't working with Kagura Games anymore?
Yumina WONNEDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deGuxHTNYEI
>>724555745So Kagura has said.
>>724555680Yes. Literal kids.
>>724555745Wasnt GOG hosting the actual porn patches or already patched into the games?
>>724553695GOG carries Sengoku Rance. If that isn't against their policy then nothing (relatively sane) is.
>>724544153>>724555746BASEDBASEDBASED
>>724544153>GOGBased Poles. GOG is the only games store that is superior to Steam, because they offer something superior. If anybody has a chance of disrupting Steam's "monopoly" it's them. >>724552818At least they offer it. Steam wouldn't even accept the censored version.
>>724555840Well that's fucking gay
>>724548152They banned DT2 which was published by Atlus. Nobody is safe.
>>724555850ToT
>>724556967It wasn't published by atlus.
>>724552818GOG was only provided what EastAsiaSoft gave them. The touching minigame was removed from both the GOG and Switch versions intentionally. GOG didn't force them to get rid of it.
>>724557305In America it was. If even Sega/Atlus can get banned from Steam, nobody is safe from Mary's wrath.
So what even if this game?A VN or something?
>>724557597A dating sim + photography simulator.
>>724557521The Steam version was being published by literal nobodies. If Sega has submitted it, it wouldn't even need a review and would go straight to the store.
Pretty based. I'll probably buy it if it's not censored. Isn't Saya no Uta uncensored on GoG? I wish it had an option for Japanese text.
>>724557597Junior Idol Simulator
>>724544153I'm seriously gonna start using got nowFuck steam
>>724557938I always buy on GOG first if it's available. And often, I buy games on GOG a second time if they release years later just to have a DRM free version stored on my NAS because I don't trust Steam to not get bought out and fuck everybody over.
GOG does what Gabe don’t
>>724544435Valve are over-correcting out of caution. It's still the processors actions which created this environment.
I hate CD Projekt Red and their woke-ass games, but GOG is based. Such a dilemma.
>>724558479They Rinzed their hands of Steam quite quickly, didn't they?
>>724557676>>724557928So... no porn to it?
>>724558185It should be pretty clear though legally what's allowed or not. They keep banning games that are merely distasteful to some people when years ago they said they wouldn't be the taste police. Meanwhile they have no problem getting real kids addicted to gambling through lootboxes
>>724558668No, just skimpy outfits. It's got a CERO D rating in Japan, the equivalent to ESRB M or PEGI 18.Valve has way worse games on their platform content wise, but "Mary" has a vendetta against the Japanese.
>>724558781>It should be pretty clear though legally what's allowed or notHas that ever mattered to the whims of the processors?
>>724558832That's because games like this get gutted and offloaded to an offsite patch.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2529520/Magical_Girl_Konoha/
>>724558781>They keep banning games that are merely distasteful to some people when years ago they said they wouldn't be the taste policeYeah, i remember they said want to clean the house when chaos;head ban, and ofc the result is fuck all, they still ban happy, glad i never trusted them in first place
>>724558982>games like this get gutted and offloaded to an offsite patch.In this case, there is no patch. The explicit content never existed in the first place. This is as tame as these types of games get.
>GoGGood, that's an upgrade.
Oh? That's actually rather nice. Never thought GoG would be considered an alternative.
>>724546012>>kinda surprised about GOG since they were giving off mixed messages with Tokyo ClanpoolThat was all EAS fault. They got scared shitless by steam banning the game with and without minigame that the version they presented GOG was already the censored one.
>>724558479
I still don't know what this game is even about
>>724550127Well maybe if people started buying them from other places they wouldn't need to depend on a singular store like steam for success huh retard?
>no explicit content>hold L2 for facialYeah, I'm not convinced...
>>724557521It wasn't published on PC by SEGA. Sadly. Because if they banned a game published by them there would be a civil war even worse than the shitstorm that happened from them banning a game from spike chunsoft.
>>724560089From a GameFAQs post.> What is LoveR Kiss?>It's a visual novel-style dress up romance simulation with an extra visual component - there is a heavy emphasis on picture-taking.> What do you actually do in this game?>Most of the game is reading or listening to dialogue. You very rarely choose from several dialogue options. When in conversation, you will play a game using Gems to select a topic and try to build various love and conversation meters, or start a photo session, without accidentally ending the conversation. You will buy disposable items, pay for dates and shop for costumes and accessories. The rest of the game is taking pictures of high school girls, either in free time or with time or position restrictions.> Pictures of high school girls? Like, erotic ones?!>Actually, yes. The game has two categories of pictures - cute and excite - and a theme of the game is how closely glamour photography is tied to eroticism.>The game is razor-acutely aware of when you have taken a beautiful photo and when you have taken a sexy one.>Girls become embarrassed and will insist you not take certain angles of pictures. If too humiliated, they will abruptly leave.>At the same time, they are correctly NOT devoid of sensuality. In the proper mood you can ask them to "pose sexy" and they will demonstrate their idea of that. This usually drives up their embarrassment quickly.>With no actual nudity or sex, and nothing else more extreme than kissing, the game bravely wrestles the concept of glamour photography to the floor for a noogie.
Hell yeah, GOG.I wanna release my loli game on GOG someday, they're surprisingly chill over loli and shota games.
>>724559073yes there is, its called >3 months from now on ATF
>>724559048no it doesnt, you lying faggotits just a loli, 2D.go the FUCK back.
>>724560143They should sell on GoG / DLsite first and Steam second, a couple months after.Using alternate storefronts as a last resort isnt training consooomers properly
>>724555746Yumina-chan kawaii!
>>724560669Mods are not official content. H games on Steam have 75% of their content gutted and hosted off-site officially in order to skirt around Valve's rules.
>>724561338yeah but thats technically not allowed by visa or MC so doing so can still get your game b&
>>724560143It doesnt matter what we doThe real market these devs want is the PC asian one which Steam has access to
There's just no drama with gog.They'll host the "r18 patch" on their website and make sure you know there's such a patch in the first place by listing it on the game's storepage.Compare that to steam that won't allow such a thing. You could live the rest of your life without knowing there's a patch for the game you bought.
>>724561715This. Valve bans the developers from even putting it in the game's forums. And anybody discussing it gets banned. I don't know why Valve ever agreed to host H-games in the first place if this was what they were going to do with them.
>>724561715its really because gog is literal who enough for payment processors to not breathe down their neckwhich is funny because itch.io is even smaller but that got hit even harder just because theyre fully open and unregulated
>>724544153Is the switch version safe?
>>724561810Some of these games make them a fuckton of money relative to other indies. Like adult games have some of the highest hit rates on Steam in terms of ROI.
>>724561810They wanted the h-shekels but then the (((kollector))) changed his stance and now the shekels are in blocking the h-games
>>724561872They're also Polish and all payments on GOG go through Polish banks. This is a lot like how Nintendo only sues companies for copyright infringement when they're Japanese.Visa/Mastercard will only go after American companies. They cannot touch companies in other countries because they know they'd lose.
>>724561872Itch.io was hit because they were on the Collective Shout hitlist campaign that launched previously to the big payment processor debacle that led to. How they were and GOG was not is beyond me, but it's clearly why it's the case.
https://www.gog.com/en/game/lover_kiss_endless_memoriesStore page is up, but no preorder
>>724544153Great news! The game won't be released on Steam but it'll still be released on PC, just not via Steam. I don't plan to play the game but it's something to celebrate.Anyway, posting this again only because I posted her in a previous related thread and because she looks young like Rinze.
>>724561995itch.io is also American. GOG being in Europe is why Visa/Mastercard aren't going after them.
>>724561872I should call visa or something, give 'em a piece of my mind. The jack-asses. Of all the stupid shit putting down artists...
>>724562060>but no preorderUh oh.
>>724562114What's to "uh oh" about it? You can be notified when the game releases and then buy it. No point in buying something you can't play yet.
>>724562060>using same screenshot from steamdamn, dragami really bold, based though
>>724550280seems more like a reason that Steam should go
>>724554392>all this seethe in the repliesYep, it's shilling botsBUY AN AD.
>>724562079>>724562226anon you don't HAVE to take a vacation.just sayin'. You could've put these on catbox and linked them or something.
>>724560271sound like kino
Is this actually a sex game or just ecchi?
>>724544153Reminder that GOG still won't allow the other Rance games on their platform
>>724562716read the thread you niggerits ecchi
>>724562769Which ones?
>>724562716It's a dating sim with a photo mode. However, you can give the girls swimsuits, therefore it is porn.
>>72456288103 and 9 were published by MangaGamer on their site but have yet to be added to GOG for over a year now
>>724562769I'm seeing a fair amount of them on GOGI can't see it being a content thing
>>724563031It supposedly comes down to the fact they wanted as much stuff on their site as possible during covid and then kinda changed their mind for later releases
>>724563118This is also often just a way to try and one-up steam when they get to platform the banned games.I mean hey, I'm not complaining more power to them.
When will the Dungeon Travelers games come to GOG...
>>724563118Kinda' just sounds like some behind the curtains shenanigans that we can only speculate about.
>>724562114The trailer on the store page is hosted on GOG's own YouTube channel. Surely they know what they're taking in here...
>>724563339Shiravune supports GOG. The fault entirely lies with the dinosaurs at Aquaplus, who are extremely adamant about their games only being allowed on DRM equipped storefronts.
>>724563707GOG approved!
>>724563707There is way worse stuff on GOG.I'd know, bought some myself.
>>724544153>>724544209BASED BASED BASEDRINZE BROS LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ToT!!!!!Mariana DLC when?
Does it have H scenes or not?
>>724563707Attack of the clones.
>>724558185Valve hasn't overcorrected, there was no determinable change for what has been approved and what hasn't by Valve's review team after the payment processors forced a bunch of titles to be dropped a few months back, the same policy would have blocked LoveR Kiss a year ago. Also when Valve was directly removing titles flagged by payment processors, it didn't target the kind of questionably aged characters, it was targeting titles or store descriptions that included keywords that indicated a lack of consent (slave, hypnosis, rape, etc) or incest, which Valve appears to have noticeably not cracked down on with new releases since then.
>>724564308It's a game developed specifically for consoles, so, no.
>>724564389This is heaven
>>724564389Me in the back, behind the wall
>>724563631Aquaplus seems like they wouldn't even allow Shiravune to do a patch for DT2-2 after DT2 got banned.
>>724563707>sees female>immediately sexualises her and highlights her feminimity as sexualits funny how incels, karens, feminists, and the far left are all actually the same.
>>724564621Females exist to be sex objects. Not many people will outright admit it, but everyone knows it.
>>724564491Long story short. Valve just hates lolis.
Friendship ended with GabenGOG.com is now my best friend
>>724564982>Gog and Magog are enemies to be defeated by the Messiah in the End of Days, which would usher in the age of the MessiahWhy would they name their storefront after Satan's soldier?
>>724565176GOG used to stand for Good Old Games, but now stands for nothing as the storefront transitioned to having new games.
>>724563707>>724562257The fuck you on about? Those screenshots are tame.
>>724565670The whole game is tame. There's literally nothing objectionable in the entire game. Far worse stuff was released 20 years ago on the PS3 and Vita with ESRB ratings and all. The world has just gone mad.
>>724562060>BGM by Noriyuki Iwadarethat's the fucking composer for phoenix wright.how did some cheap softcore porn game get him?
>>724545721Mary is the entity they as a whole use whenever they censor games
>>724565670yeah, but steam said otherwise
>>724565428Surely the acronym was a coincidence.
>>724566059It's not the screenshots it's the content inside.
>>724564834I doThem being in academia or working "jobs" is a joke
>>724566172And the content inside is accurately portrayed by the screenshots.
>>724566270What I'm saying people acting like the screenshots are lewd are retarded. Why are you changing the discussion?
Seems other publishers got the message, H9 is also going with GOG and DLSite to be able to release an uncut version.https://x.com/worldmap_game/status/1983821182697619748
>>724566335You said it was the content inside that caused Valve to reject the game, but the screenshots accurately portray the content. The devs weren't hiding something sinister in the game. It's literally just a "take photos of cute girls" game.
>>724566428I replied to your off topic question.
>>724566496I did not ask a question.
I used to fear him keeling over in fear of what'll happen to Steam. But bring it the fuck on now. This is literally the only way to disrupt Steam's monopoly at this point.
>>724566552It was still offtopic, shut the fuck up lmao.
>>724563707Anon, GOG sells stuff like Sengoku Rance, which has a full on loli rape scene. I don't think they give a fuck about this super tame photography game.
>>724566639How is discussion of LoveR getting rejected by Valve and hosted by GOG off topic?
>>724566631>This is literally the only way to disrupt Steam's monopoly at this point.Fuck off Microsoft.
>>724566692How is replying to my post with off topic shit not off topic?>>724566631He should be sued, force extradited to Japan and judged as if he was a arsonist.
>>724566791You said the screenshots didn't get the game rejected, the content in the game did, but the screenshots are literally images of the game's content. They are one in the same.
>>724565670The conservatives in America have resumed their war on sex and have been outlawing porn and making Visa and MasterCard not do business with businesses that sell any pronographic games
>>724566937Steam is running just fine without his help. Gabe hasn't done anything with Steam in over 4 years now. There's no reason to assume this will change after his death.
>>724566873Read again, I said "these screenshots aren't sexy". The dudes I replied to seemed to imply these screenshots were extremely sexy. I checked and was disappointed because I didn't see a loli in bikini, just pretty tame screenshot and a funny clone screenshot at the end.
>>724544485Yes unironically
>>724567279Steam needs to just ban all Japanese games at this point. Take a firm stance, none of this wishy washy shit where some get through and others don't on completely arbitrary and contradictory reasons.
>>724567443>some get through and others don'tA majority get through.
>>724567521Over 3000 games have been rejected by Steam in the last few years. Almost all Japanese. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aAbrEDNa2NmgntrKtij0RuxKneiFcTJisGyfMUv2nnM/edit?gid=975765620
>>724567687>all games that sexualize kidsYeah I dunno man its a mystery
>>724544325It's probably bots but I think it's a misattribution to think bots are here to shill the game. These threads exists to gather anons rightfully pissed big companies are trying to control what you're allowed to do with your money. Why? To spam bullshit about how you're a pedophile if you're mad. Turn discourse from productive to shitflinging.
>>72456768790% of it is porn including a lot of AI shit. We need a list of actual games being banned.
>>724567753Actually most of them feature big titty bimbos exclusively
>>724567830We dont let you fuck kids because you're disgusting and should be killed, not because we care about human rights
>>724567753Loli is capitalism. Are you a troon?
>>724567958only none of that is happening you schizo
Pro-censorship subhumans shouldn't be allowed to vote.
>>724544153>literal what game releases on gog and dlsiteCouldn't care less
>>724567958You sure do think about killing alotMust be because of all those violent video games you play.We should BAN those gun games you keep playing so you don't have these thoughts anymore.Do you understand how you're acting now? This is what'll happen if you keep pushing censorship.
>>724544153You know what? If it releases without censorship I might even buy it (instead of pirating)
>>724568276Shut up pedoWishing you'd die is the least controversial opinion on the planet. Don't you realize EVERYONE wishes you'd kill yourself or that someone would kill you?
>>724568113That would stop all white people and chinese people from voting though.
>>724568276Many people who are anti-porn games are also anti-shooter games, but porn is an easier target to get people on their side. Shooters will come next.
>>724568370lolicons are not pedos.lolicons only want to fuck drawings not actual children.
>>724568370But the real pedos run every government, did you forget about Epstein already you NPC?You're losing you wannabe vigilante, the only pedos you can sometimes get are Indians (but not muslims though)Us lolicons are the distraction for you to go after so you never save a real child
>>724568548All pedos are lolicons Not all lolicons are pedosThis distinction doesnt exist in Japan
>>724568113I would say they shouldn't be allowed to breathe.
>>724568659I dont care about saving children, theyre already victimized theres no saving them. I care about you dying.>hurr durr epstein and the govtThey should all die too, this isn't the gotcha you think it is
I had zero interest in this game before but now I'm tempted to grab it on GOG just to encourage the practice in the future.
>>724568697No they're not.To admit fiction IS reality is to admit you're sick in the head.
>>724567687There are more weggers and cheggers banned there than japs. And a metric fuckton being AI.
>>724567915Yeah. It's kinda insulting to have something like this lumped in with a bunch of AI slop. I scrolled down several hundred titles and basically all of it was your average amateur porn game (VN, RPG Maker, low budget title with sexy CGs, etc.). If anything, keeping a record of every shitty adult game that gets delisted actually hurts the argument they're trying to make because so much of it doesn't really belong on a major storefront like Steam where they'd be listed alongside more mainstream video games. There's got to be a better curated list of games that got removed.
>>724568784This. Voting with your wallet actually works when you buy stuff, rather than not.
>>724568548that's not what lolicon means
I'm going to buy her game and lick every crevice of her body.
>>724568762Well atleast now you've admitted you're powerless, that's a good first step
>>724566358>>724547997>>724544153Business wise with the increasing amount of press this type of stuff is getting within Japan domestically, GOG should go out of their way to advertise themselves as a platform available for Japanese developers to push uncut release within Japan.
>>724568932>so much of it doesn't really belong on a major storefront like Steam where they'd be listed alongside more mainstream video gamesValve made a promise that "unless a game violates US law, we will allow it".They allow so much slop on their stores, but only h-games ever get removed. There was a game that was literally running a bitcoin miner in the background and they allowed it.
>>724568790Whatever mental gymnastics you have to do to convince yourself that you're not a sick fuck that would be better off dead
>>724569008And risk getting hit by a payment processor?Just keep low and stay chill. There's no benefit to shouting out to the heavens that you saved the banned game where you can photograph a little girl in a micro bikini.
>>724569073Then you're a murderer for killing in video games.It's as simple as that. We should lock you up.
>>724544153How much is it going to cost? Any DLC or deluxe edition?
>>724569067>only h-gamesWorseEcchi games get hit more often
>>724569121See >>724569073

>>724544153>Dating Simulation 2.5>Elementary School Student Heroine 2.0 >Middle School Student Heroine 2.0>Interactive Touching Game 1.0 what a huge day for actual, literal pedophiles
>>724569110The payment processors have routinely demonstrated their current primary concern is with porn that has tags they dislike, not all ages console releases. Now that may change going forward at some point, but something like LoveR Kiss in particular is being blocked by platform choice rather than Visa.
>>724569473Lolicons are not pedos.
>>724569161First off, it's just one 6490 yen purchase (they didn't say any foreign equivalent yet, assume 50 USD). There's no DLC because it includes every DLC from the original. However, the Switch version has a few physical store exclusive pre order DLCs. It's unknown if PC will be receiving any of those, they may just be in the game files.Second, Aoba is so fucking cute and sexy. She needs to be my wife and mother of our quintuplets immediately.
People online care more about fictional character birthdays than their own friends & family
>>724569067It could at least use some kind of voting/vetting system, then, where users can increase the score of games that actually matter to them. That way you can see a list sorted by games that are important to people, meaning the higher profile games should be more readily apparent without simply removing most of the list (which, in retrospect, is exactly what this list is meant to record).
>>724569508They literally are
>>724569704No they're not. Fiction is not reality.Otherwise GTA would be banned everywhere for it's violence.
>>724568932I think we need a list that show actual all age games that got banned. There's a few, but it's hard to find them because they're hidden in-between porn.
>>724569073Direct your outrage at the people literally running mass child rape blackmail in your fucking government and importing third-world rapist savages, not a bunch of hikki weeb gamers playing niche games no one but they care about. I swear to God you retards just want to vent your sadism in the most cowardly manner possible while doing absolutely nothing but being useful idiots for the monsters of this world.
>>724568932>>724569757It's not like there's that many.You can easily make a list of them.

Why the fuck does Gematsu not have an article up about this yet? For all their readers know, it's still releasing on Steam. Hello, this is important news.
>NOOOOO STEAM IS PERSECUTING ANIME BECAUSE THEY BANNED THIS>game includes a 5 year old with a huge cameltoe or something Every time
>>724544725/weg/ gamesThey gave out a lot of /weg/ games for free, lets be clear here.That seems like a petty difference, but given how many /weg/s are currently on Steam and how low-quality they are compared to actual ecchi/eroges, I'm still going to temper my expectations.
>>724569508huh? of course they are. it's like jacking off to foot porn and then concluding you don't have a foot fetishsee, in japanese, "loli" means young girl, and "-con" means "lover of", so young girl lover.in english (greek, really) pedo means "child" and "-phile" means "lover of", so again, lover of childrenhope this helps!!
Pedos, the "hurrr what about violent games" response is not the gotcha you think it is. You might like lolicon and not fuck actual kids or look at actual CP but we know most of you do.
>>724569757One complication with such a list is that there are numerous porn games that got banned as all ages builds on Steam itself.Amatsutsumi, Angelic Chaos, The Pillagers of Raillore, and Muramasa all have R18 versions, but the Steam builds for all of those were trying to make playable all ages versions without porn with the same approach as if they were making a console release, and got banned all the same (and would have been banned even if the for Steam all ages build was the only version that existed).
>>724570025Extremely based.
>>724569747people who jack off to foot porn are ___people who jack off to furry porn are ___people who jack off to gay porn are ___people who jack off to CP are ___
>>724570025>rpgmslopgee cash grab
>>724570025You only can get banned for what you put in front of a reviewer at Valve, if everything objectionable is in an off Steam patch, Valve doesn't care (and more accurately, don't have any interest in caring since they have no interest in trying to police and claim liability for anything off of their platform).
>>724570284Summer and Winter Memories sold a million btw
>>724570123Sal stopped reporting on censorship news a bit into the Playstation policy era. There's a couple of now probably deleted comments from him where he says he thinks the affected games are "weird" and that the comments section "should relax."
>>724570282People who jack off to foot porn are afoot
>>724570193lolicons are fans of fiction, they're not pedos.
>>724570074Pretending weeb gamers playing niche Japanese games is in any way equivalent to the fucking mass child rape and abuse going on at the highest levels of every western government is peak useful idiot and coward behavior. You NEVER go after the latter, but you feel comfortable punching down on the former because you know they won't destroy your life with institutional power when you do. You're a coward venting his sadism on "approved" and safe targets, nothing more.
>>724570025>not even adults onlyI've seen the CG for this. They must've completely gutted the game.
Valve lost. GoG won.
>>724570282drawings are not CP.The sooner you understand the less self-destructive you'll be.
>>724570193Hey man, where did you learn Japanese?
>noooo be mad at government pedophiles dont be mad at little old me I never leave my houseI hate both of you and think you both should die
>>724570407hm? no, you must be confused. lolicon means they love children in a sexual way, and find sexual gratification from them. whether it's fictional or not is irrelevant because we're talking about what they're into
>>724570196We know the truth about you as well anonhttps://archive.fo/U23XK
>>724570615It means loli connoisseur. It means people who like drawings, not the irl stuff.
Don't call yourself a lolicon. If you like petite women with small breasts fine but calling yourself a lolicon is literally saying you're a pedophile
>>724570485>drawings are not CP.of course they are, you silly dilly. it's like taking a digital picture of a young girl getting plowed by an adult and then claiming it's not CP because the picture is just a bunch of data that resolves into pixels when viewed by the right program.it's true it's not child abuse, but that's a small distinction when it comes to labeling it, correctly, as CP>>724570541it's a pretty easy term to learn, actually, and it's practically a loanword in english. if you need help on any others please let me know, happy to help
>>724570485You realize how much loli porn is traced CP right?
>>724570878No it doesn't, there's a difference. Try and understand: Fiction =/= RealityIt doesn't matter what happens in fiction, it's not real.
>>724570749see you keep having to avoid translating the word because otherwise you couldn't keep the pretense it up very easilyimagine walking up to someone and saying "i'm a little girl connoisseur". or going to a store and saying "hey, do you have any nude drawings of little girls? i like looking at them."how do you think that'd pan out?
>>724571059Except for you theres no difference because you also want to fuck kids
Just admit you love little girls instead of arguing with moralcucks
>>724571172That's not true, and I know it. You know it too.I'm very secure about who I am and I understand fiction's just fiction. It's fun to fuck cats and rape children.To you, that messes you up. Because your brain hasn't developed enough.
>>724571128The response wouldn't be exclusive to that, people don't walk up to others and start declaring their fetishes.But you're paying special attention to a case where no real people need to be involved and making it about real people.
>>724570749>It means loli connoisseur.you don't actually think that, do you? you're not actually that retarded, are you?
>>724571324They cant. Their psyche would break if they admit to themselves theyre pedophiles instead of victims
>>724571059>Fiction =/= Realityyou think jacking off to porn has zero connection to reality? how could that be?think of the reasons you're picking one porn to jack off to vs. another. what's guiding that selection? it's arousal, right? so if you're selecting porn of children, and getting aroused by children, and jacking off to depictions of children, what do you call that?
>>724571358>fetishesah interesting. and what does fetish mean, again?
>>724544325>hourly famitsu thread died for this ;_;
>>724571324seriously. the venn diagram of actual, literal pedophiles and those who dislike the term "pedophile" is far too bigjust own it, you freaks. and if you can't muster up the courage or conviction to type those words on an anonymous message board filled with filth, then that should take the fucking hint already
I didn't understand the camera instructions because I was playing in Japanese, I only got C pictures, and the game was progressing so I didn't really bother to look it up, and I don't get the whole gem thing, but I couldn't get past 4 hours because it felt like a VN but with grinding and there was too much repetition (due to my own dumbass picking the same event, DUH, but I think I need to do the same event to do the gems so that I increase the love meters and do the next event, or something I think?).The DS game also had repetition and grinding, but it didn't feel as repetitive because it was a lot more simple (you don't need to worry about the girl's gauges, only your own 4 skills based on your class choices), and it was really easy to autopilot without knowing any game mechanics since every skill is useful, I was expecting a VN but with extra steps to help the game feel more immersive, but LoverKiss has too many extra steps, zero immersion, and it felt like some sort of facebook game or something, they should have just deleted any events you already witnessed.The sandbox mode was kind of wild tho, I was playing the switch version but it did not hold back on panties / poses.
>>724571825It's not the case. You're being lied to be self-destructive nonsense people.
>>724571594Fetishes are an attraction, rational or irrational, to something. It could be to a specific trait, feature or even objects that aren't necessarily sexual.Remember we've had individuals who are attracted to tiles here. It's entirely possible to be interested in the 2d representation of something but have no interest in the real life equivalent.
>>724570682i still don't get the point of this imagea pedo says "anime is for pedos"how does this make him wrongi trust the expert
>>724544153what kind of game is this? gacha?

>>724572259Says the pedo
>>724572162It's an old console CERO D fanservice game getting an updated release.
>>724572191By your asserting. I have no interest in harming a real child.Your actions to try and push safeguards on people that don't exist means a split of resources and less time spent making sure those real children are safe.Why do you insist on making children less safe?

Why the fuck should I get excited? It's gonna be censoredslop just like Tokyo Clanpool.
>>724575586They never really did uncensor that game for some reason.
>>724575847GOG is probably fine with saying "we'll release this without question" while its getting Japanese press (as they seem to be doing for this and H9), but don't particularly care to go back and allow a patch for an already released game with no spotlight on it.
If the game is censored on GOG I'll be surprised. We'll see.
>>724575847The devs never released an uncensored version. The remake for Switch never had the touching minigame the Vita version had and GOG just got a port of the Switch version.Blame the devs. GOG has 18+ patches available on their own site for many h-games.
>>724571048People who actually care disagree with you.
>>724577237Probably.
>>724555029Why is kagura copyin shit from fuck95. Wtf?
Apparently LoveR Kiss isn't the first game Dragami has put on GOG. They have this mecha-focused SRPG as well.https://www.gog.com/en/game/relayer_advancedPerhaps that's part of why they were able to pivot to GOG so quickly.
The reason people don't speak up is because if you go out and try to say "They banned this game where I take pictures of high school girls" you end up with free bricks through your window
>>724545690its the third post. after the pinned post and a jp post 16 minutes later
>>724580086Why was it not coming to GOG and DLsite in the first fuckin place? Steam might be a tad more afraid to ban games when they're shipping to competitors at the same time too. Why do Japs keep trying to ship these games exclusively to Steam and act surprised when this happens?WHY JAPANESE PEOPLE? WHY?!
>>724580168i dont see the bricks on the windows of murder simulator players tho
>>724577237So does steam. That doesn't stop them from being prudish and censoring games as everyone knows.
>>724580623steam is 95% of the sales of any given game on pc, they would give zero shits either way
>>724544153Thank god it's still releasing, I wanted to play it.
>>724580686The most ghoulish violence and even the most depraved fetishistic sex acts is somehow more acceptable than an anime highschooler showing panties now.There was always some taboo here, but the west didn't used to be this neurotic about it. Something about the 10s made something snap, the ascendance of feminism and women in the internet and formerly male controlled public spaces, the Epstein scandal combined with the avalanche of notable figures getting busted for sexual misconduct, real or otherwise, cancel culture and #MeToo, all of it had a profound effect on the generations growing up under all this.
>>724580623For a title like they, they likely expect the majority of the sales to be Chinese, where GOG really doesn't help at all.
>>724581283>Something about the 10s made something snap, occupy wall street
>>724581283It was when Visa / MC was caught processing actual CSAM transactions. I think it was around the same time as the Pornhub scandal. So part of their correction was to turn around and punch the Japanese weebs who were minding their own business in the face.
>>724580086Wait this actually looks pretty cool.Also this screenshot's damage numbers made me chuckle.
>>724568762>I don't care about [real problems], I care about making non-criminals losingIt's like SJW without the leftism.
>>724544153What is this, a VN?
>>724581283It's pretty much been the sexual misconduct stuff with a side of western regulators now knowing that the Japanese characters are actually 16 with a quick google search. The major changes have all been around shit that would be peeping or allowing the player themselves to cause discomfort to the girl in a direct manner (grabby hands, not losing their top in a sword fight with another character)It's separate to the activists pushing their trans characters in game, thinking it will get more sales or whatever.
>>724582064It's a dating sim.
>>724582064A dating sim. That is, an actual one that can trace its roots back to Tokimeki Memorial series, with stats and activity planning, not another case of "people call all visual novels dating sims because you date a girl at the end of each route".
>>724582719>The major changes have all been around shit that would be peeping or allowing the player themselves to cause discomfort to the girl in a direct mannerThat's all downstream of "rape culture/objectification" discourse propagated by Feminist Frequency and others during the GamerGate era. Not exactly separate from the activists. It's not a coincidence that this all started happening at the same time that "woke" took off.
>>724583507They're still doing this despite trying to claim they are against Collective Shout lol
>>724544325I'm convinced 4chan itself 'saves' OPs that do well, then reposts them itself in an attempt to emulate/generate traffic and revenue clicks. That's my theory. I don't think it's faggots shilling all day. Rather 4chan shilling itself.
>>724583764That's the loocalizer class, they've always had nothing but contempt for the culture they're vandalizing. These are the same people that go out of their way to erase every single instance of "Now I can never be a bride" or "pretty white skin". LoveR Kiss is apparently being translated by a guy who intends to be faithful to the original text and intent, which may also play a part; he, and by extension the game, are not part of the "clique".
>>724575586Tokyo Clanpool had a controversial touching minigame that people were upset over. LoveR is just taking photos. I'd agree with you if there was some groping minigame, but there's not something like that in LoveR. They'd need to remove entire characters or entire outfits to actually remove something.Not saying that it's possible, just that there isn't one controversial part of the game that would get cut to censor it.
>>724558185>It's still the processors actions which created this environment.payment processors forced valve to hire mary? before they even took any action against steam? waow
>>724569704>>724570282>>724571001Anglos should keep their mouthes shut.
>>724584321You can touch the girls in LoveR. It's not a rubbing minigame with loud orgasm moans like a Compile Heart game, but it's there.
>>724584110the sites a piece of shit that barely gets updates, fags just repost whatever gets the most (you)s constantly because they're starved for them
>>724583184Do i get to date her crotch in my face?
>>724544435>where are the steamies who said it's Visa and Mastercard's fault now?It literally still is. Visa and Mastercard haven't gone after personally GOG, but the threat is absolutely still there. GOG also cut ties with Kagura over this issue. They all have different concerns over this problem and express it in different ways.
>>724585504I don't think so.
>>724584931CH hasnt done those since the ps3 anon
>>724586624Actually, the latest was Mary Skelter 2 in 2018, which maintained the Purge minigame from Nightmares and added the new characters plus new CGs for the old ones. It got censored out of the Asian PS4 version as well as the PC versions (restorable with patch); only the Switch version is content complete out of the box. After that, though, they stopped doing them because Snoy and Mary Skelter Finale didn't have the Purge minigame in any version.
>>724548172You suck off Nintendo, who censors and bans far more often, while scapegoating and make excuses for everything they do. You are a mentally ill hypocrite.
>>724548695Delaying it is not a ban. They delayed Nekopara After and Blue Archive for like a month before accepting both of them.
>>724544153CDPROJEKTBASED
>>724544153>HURRR GOG IS JUST AS BAD AS STEAM>HURRR CD PROJEKT TRIED TO DELETE REBECCA>HURRR THEY'RE EVEN WORSE THAN GABEYEAH GET FUCKED STEAMIES I WON YOU LOST
>>724569008>GOG should go out of their way to make themselves a target for payment processorsNah.
>>724587624GOG cuts ties with KaguraNone of these platforms are perfect
No kidding I just went and bought CP2077 on gog because this shit was too based for my own good.
>>724587624jewish post
>>724587440Some other titles have also gotten delayed with radio silence for extended periods of time, seems like a reviewer does that when they don't want a title on the platform, but can't actually ban it, so they just go radio silent for as long as Valve's internal guidelines says they are allowed to.
>>724586578 #https://www.gog.com/en/game/himegashima_island this game from Kagura Games got released uncensored not even a month ago, together with other 7 games. GOG always changed idea and in fact they are still accepting Kagura Games titles, just in a slow way.
>>724587780>GOG cuts ties with KaguraProbably their own fault. Name one reason at this point GoG would have to have blocked them when we're getting this. It's clear business reasons are the reasons they cut ties.
Can someone explain what LoveR Kiss is ?is it just VN if so then why so much fuss around it ?
>>724587856The way Kagura tells it, it just came out of nowhere, they didn't do anything
>>724584630You know the interesting thing is I actually tried to go through Valve's roster of employees and there is not a single person there named Mary
>>724583764>>They're still doing this despite trying to claim they are against Collective Shout lolNot sure where all the voyeurism accusations are coming from, even from someone who has played the game.You ask the girls if you can start a photo session and they can decline if they don't like you or you made them angry for some reason.There's only a handful of story events where you see a girl lokking at some flowers or whatever and you take a snapshot of that moment, but you usually talk to her immediately after that.
>>724583764
>>724583764"Localizers" are glorified MTL rewriters and have no respect for the source work.Anyone who tells you it's impossible to translate Japanese into English accurately is a lying sack of shit. That said, it can sometimes involve sitting there for a few hours on a single line with a thesaurus trying to figure out how to preserve the nuance.
>>724588258>Corpse Party affected by thisFUCK
>>724587901See >>724544209
>>724587954But like i told you 8 games got released on GOG after that statement, not even a month ago. The main reason GOG doesn't really visual novels it's not the content but probably the fact that they don't sell much there, i hope it changes in the future.
>>724588317>it can sometimes involve sitting there for a few hours on a single line with a thesaurusI can tell you don't speak more than one language.
>>724549997Because very few people cared about this game itself. It looks bad. The problem was that steam banned it and the reasons for it.
>>724588528I speak four, actually. English, Japanese, Spanish and French. English is my primary language. French I learned when growing up due to one side of my family. Spanish I learnt in the education system. Japanese I learnt for fun.This "sitting there with a thesaurus" thing is exclusively a problem for translation of languages with different grammatical structure (i.e., SOV -> SVO as in Japanese to English.) It's not an issue you encounter with languages of similar structure.
>>724588494It's still something they told Kagura that they would be winding down on these kinds of games. I'm just repeating what they said. For all anyone knows they could have changed their mind after everyone threw their support behind these games after payment processors started attacking them. Or they could be weaning off. Nobody knows.
>>724588317>Anyone who tells you it's impossible to translate Japanese into English accurately is a lying sack of shitHonorifics is one of those thing you cannot translate properly in english.
>>724544153>>724544209What updates does it have over the original LoveR Kiss?If it doesn't let you photograph Rinze's fully naked child body then I'm not interested
>>724588484ok if you have sex with that character then they shouldve patched that part out
>>724588835Rinze is their mascot character. She is on every game under the same devs
>>724587954Kagura Games still published 8 games on GOG after that statement, so it's nothing permanent. Unless Kagura Games starts selling a decent amount or unless they change idea they will still release on GOG but slowly.
>>724588834This is a trick, because the point of a translation is to preserve all nuance. Deleting honorifics is the realm of localization nonsense.A translation doesn't delete honorifics or change name order, it slaps a footnote at the first instance of preserved honorifics.
>>724588762I'm honestly not sure how you can be familiar with French and Japanese, and think that you can just look up a thesaurus for a French phrase and just get an English equivalent. Sure, there are some phrases in French or Japanese that have an accepted English equivalent, but surely you'd understand that it's not always accurate and that not all phrases transfer over. They're certainly not all laid out in a thesaurus for easy reference.
>>724588768There is nothing wrong if they changed their minds, even in an opportunistic games. And i remember clearly that Kagura Games staff said that even like GOG as store, so i don't think they minded that much that reply and they will still sending their games there
>>724572143facts
>>724589235Okay. I think you fundamentally misunderstood me, so I'm going to clarify something. I do not mean a multilingual thesaurus for "translation" - these are absolute garbage and useless to anyone who has actually learned a language properly. I mean a thesaurus purely for the target language so that when you're dealing with something like a joke or a more clever linguistic construction, you can more easily bruteforce alternative phrasing mentally to try and preserve whatever is going on in the source language.
>>724589154I assume you're >>724588762 and are hence from yurop, people from there usually have more nuanced take on translation like yours.Burgers are usually impossible to reason with because in their translation culture, the use of footnote is considered heresy and anything that use them is garbage.Sadly, the translation culture of the EU is slowly getting overtaken by the US with more and more translators using their position to censor anything they deem (((problematic))).
>>724581283>Something about the 10s made something snapThey werent aware of it and most of them still arent. Ease of access goes both ways, things you agree with and things you dont.
>>724588835>If it doesn't let you photograph Rinze's fully naked child body then I'm not interestedIt's a PC game, so those mods will be made as soon as possibleBut more seriously:- includes all DLC- Up to 14 girls in a single photo session (PC, 7 for Switch 2, only 2 girls for the original Switch)- 150 different panties ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdqvF9RaH4I&t=285 )- A bunch of improvements for the photo mode, like being able to switch locations instantly without a loading screen or going back to the menu. Just watch the video above for details
>>724588494This and same.
>>724590819>150 different pantiesI hope some of them are visibly used
>>724589643Alright, that's fair. It can be hard to come up with a good word at times, and a thesaurus can really help out, especially if you have a general translation and are looking for a specific word that fits better.
>hadaka apron is amiami exclusiveI was gonna order it on playasia but amiami it is.
>>724589692>Burgers are usually impossible to reason with fixed
>>724591183huh ? They still have this store exclusive bullshit ?? I thought the game is 100% complete package
>>724550525>because i will buy it on DLsite regardlessWhy
>>724591183>store exclusivityHate this kind of console tier cancer. Stop trying to bring it to PC, Japan, or I will just pirate.
>>724590819Incredibly based devs.
>>724591539nta but i would rather no longer give money to westoid companies whenever possible
>>724544485There's nothing lewd about this game.
>>724550525Enjoy your PlayDRM!
>>724591640You won't have to worry about it coming to pc. It's switch exclusive.
>>724563015There is a lot of Misinformation in a lot of posts here.Rance 03 is a MangaGamer only title and they want a period of exclusity (since Rance is one of the most sold title in their niche store), it's not even on Jast. About Rance IX, MangaGamer staff said tha a GOG release is planned by the boss and they said that GOG's staff never had problems with Rance that sold decent in its store. GOG has its own issues but things like the Tokyo Clanpool is completly false, the publisher itself admitted that it wasn't GOG fault (by the way, in theory the publisher said that a patch will be released inside the store one day... when? Probably not soon but they keep saying that they are still preparing it).
What even is this? Some ultra-softcore zero-nudity romance sim with animations?If so, might've creamed myself over it 15 years ago, but now it's a complete nothingburger for me.
>>724591951yes, but it's still too spicy for Steam because you can take upskirt photos
How retarded are the devs to think a game where you touch an 11 year old in a bikini would be accepted on Steam? Hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted and lost.
>>724591183>amiIs that just consolefag version?
>>724592045The backlog of dozens if not hundreds of other titles with that or even more risque content that they did accept in the past, but gave no heads-up to publishers that they've changed their standards until it's too late.
>>724592045
Wow 4chan is eating shit right now
>>724592263What are they doing to this boy
>>724592263if it had cameltoe it would be perfect
>>724545085SNOY implemented their censorship policy years before the credit card companies started acting up.Furthermore there's still zero argument to made that this is actually any kind of legal issue so long as other loli porn games like Evenicle remain on Steam, because being grandfathered in doesn't somehow make a supposed breach of law ok.
>>724592263What are you talking about. It's been nearly a decadehttps://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/valve-sexual-content-1202815629/
>>724592045>i-is that a little girl in a swimsuit??!? AHHHHHHH save me Mary-sama!!!! *proceeds to play game where you brutally murder people*
>>724592045steam has far more pedophillic games than this
>>724591183>hadaka apron>clearly wearing a bikini
>>724544153>GOGCool, hopefully the GOG release is fully uncensored because I bet they'll be retarded and put DLSite's DRM on that release regardless.
>>724592045Bro, Mad lsland is on steam.
>>724591640akshually consoles copied it from eroge practices older than windows itself
You guys really need to learn how to ignore and hide this retard, he does this every fucking thread, he starts to samefag to make it appear that there is a discussion until someone bites. He doesn't care about your arguments, he just wants to shit up the thread.
>>724593031>hey don't publish ecchi games with kids>*publishes ecchi game with kids, gets banned*>NOOOOO WHYYYYY>>724593053Wow it's almost as if Steam didn't care if you censor properlyHonestly, only you idiot pedos can cry about anime persecution one breath then admit Steam is full of weeb games the next
>>724593053Prove it.
>>724593361>with kidsits pixels anonmeanwhile TLOU2 had full blown cartel style execution guro and anal woke 2 had an old fart's bare ass and microdick for all to see in hyperrealistic graphics
>>724587705>everyone should silently bow their heads to their payment processor overlordsNah.
>>724593414Maitetsu is on thereA VN where you fuck loli trains
>>724593782GOG is not the one to take on that fight. They would get crushed. Valve would get crushed. They would need the actual power to stand up to those monoliths or it would just be futile with grave consequences.
>>724593608>muh pixelsSo are photos, faggot. At least get a less retarded argument>BUT THEY ARE NOT REAL THEY HAVE NO RIGHTSIdiot retard. The depiction of minors in such situations is not appropriate either
>>724593194Mad Island can have all the degeneracy in the world.But it still made a patch for loli. And that's why it was allowed on Steam.
>>724591112That would make it porn. You're only taking pictures of perfectly clean and shaven underage anime girls in skimpy underwear with no genetalia or nipples. You're only teasing them when you grab their butt, not sexually harassing them. No Penis, no sex so it's perfectly fine to be rated 15+.
>>724594287So you admit to be a murderer for liking violent games?
>>724545929Loli hentai games have been up on GoG for years and nobody cares. This is some console port shovelware that never should’ve gained any attention from anyone, much less the censorship division of Valve.
>>724593873Maitetsu and Monobeno have console ports with everything removed. Steam is such a port. While these days even a Vita/Switch release is likely to get banned by Valve places like GoG have similar games without needing patches for cunny breeding scenes (Saya no Uta).
>>724594515Is the depiction of murder criminalized, like child porn, virtual or not? No?! That's what I thought, retarded moron. It's laughable how you think your stupid fallacy is anything but idiot babbling.
>>724544153>GOG releaseCool, I look forward to pirating it.
>>724594932>Is the depiction of murder criminalizedYes?Snuff movies, decapitation, suicide videos, etc are illegal and will be taken down on all mainstream platforms.
>>724595158Nice try, retard, but wrong. Only illegal if a crime is involved. CP is illegal merely by existing, virtual or not.
>>724595478Dude, with the exception of suicide, that's what those are, videos of decapitation and murder (snuff movies) involve a crime, *someone* was killed.
>>724595478>Only illegal if a crime is involved>Snuff, decapitation, suicide videosAll involve crimes, which is why they will get taken down basically everywhere.>>724595891Suicide is still considered a crime in some countries and it is one of the highest offense you can do in many religions.
>>724544421handball 17 : say what!
>>724595891... yes? That's the point, idiot retard? Holy fuck, you are dumb. Let me spell it out for you, fucking room temp IQ nigger:Real murder badVirtual murder not badKiddy porn badVirtual kiddy porn bad too
>>724596390Why is one bad and not the other?
>won't somebody think of the virtual children???Nobody cares kiwitranny, you can stop farming the virtue signaling points now
>>724596514Ask your mom. She'll be used to dealing with her disappointing son
>>724596883You can't provide a reason. You know I'm right and refuse to engage.
>>724596985>HEH I see you won't waste time explaining common sense and our reality to meSimple as that. Your mom can deal with her little mess up. I have things to do.
>>724596390>Real murder badGoalpost: Moved
>>724597216>I have things to do.Like joining internet arguments to defend imaginary children and then running off without explaining why they need more time and protections than real children
>>724597413This nigger can't read
>>724597216Not him but you're posting on 4chan right now, you have nothing better to do you projecting turd
>>724597638You literally were the one who thought that depiction of murder were ok to show.You admitting that they are actually not ok to show is moving the goalpost, yes.
Bump limit, oh yeah.
Quick, should I buy it on DLsite or GOG? Probably DLsite so I don't fund the english-speakers, right?
>>724598115I planning to buy it on both.
>>724598115Isn't your thinking backwards. You buy it on GOG to show there's a greater interest from people outside of Japan.
>>724594287>So are photosVideo game sprites involve real people models? TIL
>>724598289>You buy it on GOG to show there's a greater interest from people outside of Japan.that's a mistake, you should be joining the people telling japan to abandon the west entirely
>>724598527You misunderstand the purpose of that.You're telling them not to take on western ways but still provide what makes japan niche and interesting by supporting them as they are now and enabling what they are providing currently.Not buying it will see them push for change to be accepted by the world and lose anything that makes them special.
>>724598713that's why you buy on the jp nintendo eshop or dlsite anon
>>724598115poles are english speaker?
>>724598907You're not taking in any of what I'm saying and threads at the limit.Just think really carefully How does buying on the japanese store show that people outside of japan are interested?
>>724599027NTA but you can leave a review in english.
when is it coming out?
>>724599101I wish more Anons could think like you.
>>724598907>jp nintendo eshopNo. Fuck Nintendo. The worst of the lot, right down there with Sony at this point. Devs need to avoid them like the plague.
>>724599027>How does buying on the japanese store show that people outside of japan are interested?you don't, that's the pointjapan should pander to japan onlythey should start cutting costs by dropping TLs entirely too>>724599323reminder this game came out without issues on the jp eshop for the switch, your NDS propaganda lost
>>724598115GOG is going to give you the files. DLSite might have that limited-activation installer. Although there are sites where you can just download the GOG version, if you want to buy it on DLSite only.Then again, that ends up supporting the DLSite limited-activation over the GOG just give me the files.
>>724599423I'm not saying they should pander to the outside world. I'm saying that the outside world can show an interest in japan being japan and the desire for them to remain as they are.
>>724599423>remind this one got through while nintendo shits on a bunch of others and has way worse restriction on content in generalDon't care, NDF, Nintendo is cancer.
>>724599423Sales being poor in other reasons is more likely to cause change as they alter what they have to seek the bigger audience.If the audience outside JP buys the games as they are then they can keep going without needing to change.
