And for the yaoi-phobics, a text- or even better scene-skip option for the h-scenes might be a solution too...
Huh? I think the mild complaints are that many of us don't even want to buy a yaoi game in the first place. I know that I won't for sure.
But hey, whatever - if they think they can make money on it, then thats fine.
Honestly I think the problem the b-game scene has in this country is that there is no place to distribute it in public. Our culture just doesn't have venues where relatively normal people can go and pick up adult entertainment without feeling like they are being seen as a pervert.
People can't really blame software pirates for the lack of sales, as tempting as that might be. The idea that everyone who downloads a pirated game would buy that game normally is just wishful thinking.
I know (and I'm sure these companies that deal in b-games here know too) that if they could only manage to get the price down to about the same as a DVD as well as a solid distribution network in some retail chains, that they would be making a ton of money.
The problem is: How the hell do you acomplish this in this country? Lets be realistic here, its next to impossible to get an adult product onto the shelves of any retailer that has a decent market imprint.
I kind of wonder what the business is like at all the conventions. I'd imagine it'd be pretty good, can anyone who actually works these events pipe up about what the volume sold at the cons is like when compared to on-line sales?
