The Link isn't working for me.

That was an-chan, not onii-chan. And Arunaru left the visual novel sector entirely and now works on mobile games.

Nope, Its onii-chan to dude.

After leaving Manga Gamer he still did a game for JAST USA afterwards, and I couldn't get a response by JAST USA asking them to not hire him for their games. If he didn't work in the industry I would at least receive a reply, but I didn't, so I suspect he's now working for JAST USA.

I was talking about Sengoku Rance. That's why I quoted the part where you mentioned Sengoku Rance.

You are overthinking this. Use a VPN to buy from a similar country without regional pricing. You are violating TOS if you say lived in the US and used a VPN to get Russian prices. You won't get banned if you used a VPN to buy the game from France or somewhere similar.

If you don't like it, why are you here? Stop imposing your puritan values on all of us. Damn old people ruining our fun just like old people of your generation tried to ban violence in games.

Can't help but smirk at this. I log out in Oz and 1 minute later login at say, Bulgaria, buy the game, logout and log back in at Oz 1 minute later. Even if I wait half an hour before logging out and back in ... it's only when GoG discovers I don't actually have teleporter technology that I'm in trouble...

This game banned in Australia? Clicking on the game link just goes straight to the game catalogue.

To be honest, this looks very creepy, as do many weirdly aggressive defensive posts in this thread. GOG is of course free to put whatever on the store and attract whatever clientele they want, but raising eyebrows at this stuff is not, in fact, an act of some political extremism.

In hentai parlance a hypnotism tag is when a character uses hypnotic powers to rape another character. Don't ask.

Not banned per se (AFIAK) but not rated (hasn't been submitted for classification)
I think the difference being that Steam is big enough not to give two F's about selling it - whereas GOG may have more to lose? Iunno

Look, I'm gonna be honest with you on this. I checked the forum and it's literally a bunch of weebs bitching about one or two changed lines. Yes, companies are doing this shit, but unless you have an Ys8 situation and it changes the whole story, most publishers are not gonna care. And it doesn't matter if you don't buy it, because other people will.

I work retail. You know some of those super woke movies you didn't buy because you voted with your wallet? Sold off the fucking shelves. Thank every damn normie who bought one. You soon realize that how much you bitch and complain, money and hype talks more. If the product is shit, like Far Cry 6, it's not gonna make bank. No one is really interested in that one. But despite all the horrible stuff that happened in Mercury Steam (low pay, devs treated like slaves) Metroid Dread sold off the shelves as well and made a hell of a lot of money for Nintendo.

Honestly, a couple more curse words doesn't bother me. It's fine. I grew up with US Manga Corps anime dubs and I actually thought the added vulgarity added an extra edge to what was already pretty damn edgy as it was back in the nineties. So yeah, I like over the top explicit stuff as long as the story isn't butchered. So they throw in one woke ass comment, okay, that's not gonna kill me. We're in the age of woke. No I don't like it, but I like this material and one line of woke bullshit isn't gonna ruin the experience for me. Unless you want to learn Japanese, you probably need to get used to this or hope indie localizers work on this shit and not woke mainstream localizers. It could be a lot worse. I'd like to hear Rance taking about how he wants to fuck all the bitches, instead of it being "Rance wants to talk about his feelings." No, fuck that.

And as for Jast, I talk with them a lot. Yes they want to bring their stuff here. There's a sale going on over there right now by the way, but yeah - they have been talking with GOG and so have Critical Bliss {Castle In The Clouds). MG wants to bring over more uncensored stuff too.

Then do me a favor. Don't let me catch you walking around with any sharp or blunt object that could be used as a murder weapon. Why? You most likely own movies where cold blooded killers like Jason and Michael Myers kill people in cold blood. For the beginning of those films, ain't nobody fighting back. A man has his head on today, but it's on the ground tomorrow. If you have engaged in any content where cold blooded killers just murder people, then you are just as much in the same boat you're putting me, with your minority report tactics, sir.

I've played a lot of these, so by your logic I'm the worst rapist in the whole world. Yet, I've never done anything remotely like that. I have female friends who are rape victims. You know how they look at this stuff? As it not being real. The only people who get upset about this stuff are beta male white knights and land whales who don't know the first thing about hygiene and cry because they're oppressed.

"OMG, the poor anime girl!"

Meanwhile, these are the same people who will declare, "Where are her organs?" and "this cartoon character looks underage!" These people would have never survived the nineties. Can we go back to the days when everything was the devil? Please?

"looks creepy."

Yes, it is political extremism. Your politics of what you define as morally right. Suddenly, you've become God. You're goddamned right we're gonna defend this stuff and if you think that this game looks creepy, then maybe you're the one who shouldn't be playing it the most. After all, you're the one virtue signaling.

If a game was never submitted it can't be banned. It's a loophole.

From my knowledge, there are two kinds of rape in hentai games:

Version 1: Rape play. This is where the characters pretend to be raped or pretend they are raping another character, but it is all very consensual. This is actually an extremely popular fetish among most women and makes up the highest amount of porn viewed by them. Especially when it's dominance. Please keep in mind that the largest number of viewers for the rape fantasy anime Redo Of Healer were in fact female, look it up.

Version 2: The real deal. This is usually not done in a happy manner and can happen to both male and female characters who actively express they do not want this to happen. Villains also use it to express their dominance. A hero will walk into an area where a female character is being raped and will either watch with shock and later find the girl sobbing, vowing to get his revenge - or he will be the one being pinned down or drugged against his will. Sometimes this is a form of rape play as well. Very seldom though. Basically dominated male in that instance. However, in situations where it is not, we often sympathize with the character being affected. Most games that have done this in a real manner do not do it in glorifying way. It's often very disgusting, which is a fetish in itself. And yes, this too is popular with women. I interviewed a female weeb who told me how much she loved stuff like Euphoria and Kara No Shoujo, which is very, very, very rough. If I ever saw it here, I imagine the forum topic to be over a thousand posts long.

She did admit Maggot Baits fucked her up though. Not gonna lie, that shit fucked me up too.
