And you want them, that’s the part you forget. From my POV, you are hungry and thirsty men in the Sahara, praying for food and water, and refusing anything that isn’t first class and costing more than what they would be able to pay in a McDonalds if they were sitting in New York, yet whining that no one wants to bring you what you want at your unconditional demands.
Erogames in the western world is a niche, brand-new market. “New” is the word: there’s no alternative and no established market. First new consoles are buggy and expensive, first new copies of a new media system (DVD, Blue-ray, TVHD, whatever) are not that good and expensive, etc. Erogame companies want you, but you want them as well, or so you whine about the matter for as long as I know (and I think I was in this fandom years before you did, Nande). Therefore, there should be a collaborative work from both sides to make it work, implying concessions and compromises from both parts. You cannot just stay there and tell you won’t move from your position and it’s entirely up to them to adapt to you. The absolute need to cater to your customers only exists when there are alternatives to your products, not when there’s not; or that just means people don’t want your products enough.
Or you could, but then stop whining about the lack of games, or even worst, the lack of good, famous games (what D.C. is).
Indeed, and don’t you think that means you, as the people who want them to bring you their games, should change to make it happen? “If the commander fails and blame the soldiers, change the soldiers. If that happens again, change the soldiers again. If that happens yet again, change the commander.”
After many tries and over a decade, no company ever succeeded, no matter what, so perhaps the problem isn’t from the company but from the “fans”? They’re the only factor that never changed and, in fact, refuses to change. So yeah, keep your attitude but then don’t complain if, ten years from now, the situation is just the exact same.
As for the typos and mistakes, it’s unfortunate but I suggest that people use these first games are a trial of sort of MangaGamers, take advantage of the low prices (honestly, 20¬Ä is quite cheap considering the possible profit). As I wrote, games can be patched, so I suggest people to give MangaGamers the benefit of the doubt (of hasty releases), waiting to see how they’ll handle it afterwards (e.g. promising quick patches).
(For the record, I used a collective “you”; I didn’t single out Nande who is, as an aside, a good and close friend of mine)
Investing instead in learning Japanese is the best way to go, Nande~ If you did when Spec and Uni did, you’d be enjoying the games in Japanese the way they do now!
