j0ekerr: But there exists a sub-.type of visual novels, called
kinetic novels which are entirely without any interaction at all. And
some of
them are quite successful.
Aye, that's a separate animal. I've got one or two of those as well. I suppose they could do alright on GOG, as GOG already sells movies, which have zero interactivity. I suspect that GOG is leery of getting into certain genres, like visual novels and HOGs, just because of the perception of those games in the broader gaming community. They might be worried stocking a lot of those will ruin their gamer street cred.
