Absolutely. Would have expected some sort of information if new releases would have happened early next year. Their official shop for physical games is also still down...it's been at least six months already... That's why, ideally, you give the power to those who don't want it. Of course, the power can still corrupt but at least the chance would be lower.

Yeah, if it's the same person again and again and again, I would start rolling my eyes until they pop out eventually, haha. Unfortunately, it's just often the case that incompetent people sit on positions they really don't belong on.

That's why one can also just download them and put them on an external HDD. All my GOG games are also in one place that way. But the mods are DRM'ed if they are only accessible via Steam. Lots of people can't access it, despite owning the game on another platform (or physically). That's why I would prefer if modders would use Nexus or ModDB and the platforms would work close together with them. Hm. I would need to play more old Japanese games to evaluate their competency. They did have some more complex games, the Daisenryaku series for example. The main issue is that it was decently slow. Of course, Japanese PCs weren't the best in that regard but one also doesn't know if the developers could have done more "magic" to speed things up. After all, the best developers always pushed the limits via hacks, creativity etc. I know European developers were pretty good but American ones had some really extraordinary ones as well (Carmack for instance). I don't know, it's hard to tell. But when it comes down to where the Japanese focus lay, then it was obviously consoles. They did some really impressive games on those. Overall, their projects were, of course, always smaller in comparison. He he, maybe they missed some things and it also always depends on how close you are to sources. I've talked with XSeed staff before and I also talked with one of the guys who did a fan translation patch which they apparently stole. Doubt they will ever pull Sega in, considering they are going in hard with all the DRM shenanigans. Maybe if Sega management chances but before that...I doubt it. No idea what "Sofort" is but they didn't have any alternative options for me available. And yeah, I have no online-banking. Also, apart from that and their website becoming worse, they are also pretty meh on their politics aka they are worse than Steam when it comes to censorship for VNs.

Hehe, I would ideally play Alicesoft releases in actual release order. For that, I have to wait until more are translated or I finally start learning Japanese properly. Yeah, it's, from my point of view, pretty messy and stagnant in some way. And if VNs are basically just like anime, it looks like this: https://goboiano.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Shirobako-1.jpg So ideally you gauge how much of an impact missing VAs would make. Not sure if I have any preference. I dislike reboots or remakes in general and would rather have a new product entirely instead. Spin-offs I'm actually not too fond of but I guess they are acceptable in a way. I mean, ideally, if something works well and is fun, they can keep everything in a sequel. Thinking of Final Fantasy, it worked pretty well until their overall quality tanked, a lot. Haven't played any of the Yakuta titles when it comes to another long series (with spin-offs) but if they had kept Shenmue the same way, I would have certainly loved it. But one series/formula can only live for so long, so at one point, the natural "end" is reached...which is often ignored.

Haha, perfectly understandable. My main issue with fireworks that some people apparently forget to use all of them and a week later and longer, they are still used occasionally. I mean, it would have been pretty obvious that it was related, considering the private releases were nowhere else on the internet. If just one of those released, it was obvious that it was someone from that website, violating what the uploader said.

Also, currently annoyed by the fact that two of my games aren't being delivered (separate packages). Ordered them a month ago and they were supposedly shipped via SAL but no info so far. And in this case, I also have no tracking number. Meh. Maybe it's because of Christmas but since I ordered them mid-November, it should have been still fine, I think. Hah, so frustrating.
