Interesting question actually. These days, patches help with major bugs, so I would think they don't reprint unless demand for the physical version is vastly higher than expected. As for new releases...they are supposed to come soon. Almost been a year since the last release and usually it doesn't take that long.

Nowadays, nothing is impossible. But I think their model works fine enough for them, so I doubt they will implement lootboxes. But they are always greeding it up, so one can never be sure exactly how far they are willing to go for more money. Absolutely. They are way easier to draw but the result is that they also look way worse. Now if only people would realize it and otakus wouldn't be so obsessed, we would have a way better industry in that regard. Well, in general, usability increased. In the 90s, the controls were often a pain in the bum aka it was really bothersome to do anything. For RTS, it would be selecting every unit separately but for other games, it was opening that, opening this, selecting that, deselecting this. Improvements in that regard are what I really care about. Modern graphics, sounds, music etc is nothing I care about. There were generally reports on salarymen being super tired and wasting time etc. And the work situation is also shown by larger companies like Konami misusing their workers or punishing them by forcing them to do extremely mundane tasks. Japanese laws regarding porn? Probably. Ideally, they get their stuff together though and create something worthwhile. With that one politician advocating for non-censored porn, at least something is moving in that sector. So it would be nice if there were some positive changes but I feel like the industry in Japan isn't very flexible. So that's just another reason doujin works exploded in number (and popularity).

Wouldn't surprise me. Did you see that Lightning being a model for some French handbag? So yeah, there were definitely some weird strings pulled in the background. But well, XV is apparently also not good and it still sold really well...

It's only for the books since you can't see whether the book is actually new or not. Granted, the mail order boni kinda belong to the same group, as they aren't sealed like normal games. At least I got one game yesterday and the 20th anniversary metal relief from Alicesoft (both new though) https://static.mercdn.net/item/detail/orig/photos/m14582197794_1.jpg?1534936548. Currently, I still have six items with one proxy service, two with another and one (plus one still being on the way back) with that forwarding service where customs didn't want to send me my items. So with one package being sent to me per week, it will take a while to get everything, hehe. Well, they don't see whether it's from an auction or not (customs). So it happens regardless of where I bought it from. Amazon.jp is generally pretty expensive in comparison with Yahoo Auction and other website. Though, you might find some item in new condition which you won't find elsewhere. Prepare to pay premium price though. If one doesn't care about physical, the DLSite games are definitely the best. Haha, as always. At least it's called "PV" and not "Trailer". The latter has more of an implication of gameplay to me than "PV".
