But even large scandals fall under the category "easily and quickly forgotten" these days, I feel. And wasn't the Epstein thing wholly dependent on his high-ranking friends anyway? Once they decided to ditch him, he died. If they had continued to support him, nothing would have happened. Or the communes...so cleaning, sweeping pavements etc. At least something along those lines. But I wouldn't call that hard labour and as such, it wouldn't prevent people from being corrupt. Not to mention that they can always be helped in those position. If you are in some camp in Sibera, I don't think there is much that can help you. Don't think we have anything like that here in Germany which the government does.

Now that you mention it: Since they are recording, begging for high reviews doesn't seem to be the best course of action. Of course, they don't check everything but the possibility is certainly there. Hm, who knows...

It's super messy anyway, with lots of layers of DRM. You have the Steam client DRM for all games, then there is Steam DRM apparently and then often a publisher's DRM (like Denuvo) as well. Bah. And yeah, pre-ordering is an issue when the DRM-situation isn't clarified, updates can add or remove DRM. I know Sega did remove Denuvo for some of their games down the line but as you said, they aren't exactly a good company in that regard, as most bigger Japanese companies actually. Funnily enough, Dragon's Dogma from Capcom was released on GOG for some reason. Maybe they were just looking at how well it will sell. Never been on any actual auction site. Pretty sure that's over what I would be willing to pay...and there are likely also no items I'm interested in. But good to know that it's a thing there.

No clue. They certainly didn't fulfill expectations, that's for sure. Do you know what was the issue with Daiteikoku from the view of Japanese fans? My main problem is that those games weren't well received while those NTR etc games are becoming a thing (Tsumamigui 3, Heartful Maman, Haha Ranman - three releases in the last three years). Not really interested in those, though, at least Haha Ranman's setting looks interesting. Of course, everything could also be due to a shift in demographics of Alicesoft games. Those Alicesoft fans of the 90s are now old and prefer NTR over gameplay...(Rance series aside). Hm, looking at some gameplay just now, just seems like touched-up graphics etc. Basically they prettied it up but the core is definitely PC-98, that can be easily seen. Absolutely. I know Japanese consoles weren't allowed in the second half of the 90s in South Korea but I'm not sure how far the ban reached when it came to software...or rather, whether it had any real impact. Hard to even find information about the game, so I have absolutely no idea. The midi CD that is inside is apparently either the same or very similar to the CD that was released separately on the same day, which is a shame, I guess. Still, one certainly saved money buying the premium edition over buying the CD and the normal edition separately. Luckily, I don't have that issue. Only one to get something is my little nephew. And yeah, I'm not a Christmas person...or holiday person in general. I mean, looking at the title of the item, "5インチ版" would suggest that there is also a smaller version available. No clue though, VNDB also has no mention in that regard, same with the Cottage. At least it hasn't been bought since I mentioned it, so unless it's a Christmas gift, it should stay there.
