I don't know I think ones like Kana, Crescendo and Heart de Roommate, are ones if they can they should try to bring out more often, maybe as often as one out of every three or four games. For one thing if they can bring out the more plot focused games, even the tear jerkers, it might help dispel some of the ideas these games have no plot to those that have never played them.I think I like them more because of the emotional pull of the games, it is easy to feel for the main character, rather then say Jewel Knights where I at least thought the main character I controlled was a jackass, harder to get into the story when one of the key main characters is seen that way.

Actually, I think it DOES average out to ... well, okay; 1 every 4 or 5 games. If you look at about how long between romantic/serious-plot releases, I think it averages out that way; also if you look at the total number of titles, total.
As for why I'd be interested in a more romantic/plot-driven title, I think I mentioned it in another thread, so I'll say it more directly here; there are much higher booty-to-price ratios to be found elsewhere - furthermore booty is, more or less, booty. A game competing solely on the booty count has a much harder time being novel or interesting, than one that also has strong writing (of any sort) attached.
