it kinda falls on the same line as selling pc systems if u have 6-12month old equipement its hard to sell it same with games if its 1 or more yrs old u it will become hard to sell unless its a VERY good/popular title

Hmm, as for "getting out the titles faster", in the case of G-collections... PP stared working on Snow Drop, X-change and perhaps some other titles too a year before they announced themselves as a company, so who knows for how long G-colletions may have worked on their games? Besides, G-collections is located in Japan and have more contacts among the bishoujo game companies, so they may be able to get their material quicker, as someone else here alredy pointed out.
The people who wants the mosics removed may be greedy, right, but you also have to understand them; I know of no other country where mosaics are used the wat they are in Japan, so I'm hardly surpised by the fact that people feels that they shouldn't be there. While we're trying to "educate" them on this matter of mosiacing, most people still won't like the mosaics, and thus, PP has to remove them to keep their customers...
And besides, most of the customers don't know anything about then difficulties that PP encouners when the "mosaicing business" is done; they simply think you have to remove the mosaic "just like that" but unfortunately, that is rarely the case.
Well, even if they did decide to make patchs like G-collections, I don't think that'd make the work go any faster or save money/resources in any way anywat, since you'd still have to work on the "unmosaiced" pictures, and then the work on creating a patch... Nah, too much bother, or so I think.
Well, technically, ALL games that Peach Princess release is old... By Japanese standards, that's it. LMM was released somewhere around 1998-2002, and the same is true for all, or almost all of PP's games, Just like most newer anime series are about 1 year old when they reach the US, so is the case of the bishoujo games that Crowd/Will releases. Lamuness or Kumiko said before that it because that most companies wouldn't sell the right to a game that is "new" in Japan for some reason; don't ask me why, I don't know the full reasons for it... Still I'd say that if PP continues like this for some years, releasing about 3-4 titles every year, we might catch up...
