I simply refuse to play an all ages game, I would rather watch a very generic slice of life anime or any anime really than read an all ages VN.

OMG, this might be the worst news I've heard in recent years. Supposedly such a great vn is going to be permanently ruined by an ALL AGES Machine translation!!!

In my experience installing that game on Win 10 is trouble waiting to happen, never works.

My current list for this season: Tier 1 Yakusoku no Neverland Tier 2 Dororo,,,Yakusoku no Neverland Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari Tier 3 Kakegurui ×× ,,,Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka ,,,5-Toubun no Hanayome ,,,Doukyonin wa Hiza, Tokidoki, Atama no Ue. ,,,Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen Tier 4 Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai,,,Egao no Daika,,,Girly Air Force,,,Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! ,,,Endro! Horrible Tier Revisions---typical netflix show, very ugly 3D westernish art.,,, Pastel Memories- ugh so generic it hurts, very bad production value no story no art,,, Grimms- somewhat nice looking but everything else is bad about this, was struggling to finish the first ep ,,,Boogiepop---I have no idea whats going, and seeing the generic boring art style I really dont care at all,,,W'z-- Probably the worst of this season, so ugly 3D it hurts eyes and makes no sense, could be a hentai

What about Food Girls? All-Ages game yet also Indefinitely Delayed by Steam. Seems like they are still "taste police" despite claiming otherwise.

Steam continues to ban anime style games especially if not well known, latest being My Erotic Summer

The sad reality is that so called "gorefest" horror extremely rare at least for english only peasants(like me), you are really lucky to get access for these titles so much that you are getting bored. Btw you answered your own question, "why isn't popular enough" the keyword is "accessible", I really dont get what supposed to be horror in that game, in horror one want to see "horror" , but there is no gore no nudity etc nothing going on etc then whats supposed to be the horror if appeals to everyone?

Another boring season.

I am waiting for that game since ages, only dreaming hopefully once can play it, Sekai surely making the wait as long as possible.

Nice, too bad, those who cant read japanese has to wait forever, getting good games like those... Honestly as a translated only reader, this year was extremely boring regarding VNs

I understand perfectly, you wrote if a drawing looks like a 12 year old then she 12 years old, before edit... I dont like this thinking at all, and frequently see this mentioned "underage girls" looking less than 18 years old because she has no breast or her face too cutesy etc...Ignoring the fact that these drawings usually dont have child like personality, also in Asia many 25+ year old girl looks like less than 18... There is no solution for these people, they just hate the art style and would never accept it no matter what they want SJW like design like Alloy and New Lara etc .

Drawings arent real so they dont have rights and neither ages....You can commit mass murders in several popular western game, yet as I recall murder also illegal in RL. So by ur logic everything should be banned in games thats illegal in RL... Damn, SJW's allows no fun in games

"Dear Mr. Newell Please open an internal investigation on two employees working for you - Jason Ruymen and Arisa Sudangnoi. They are alleged to be responsible for the continued censorship of niche anime-styled games under the guise of 'child exploitation'. This contradicts Valve's previous statements about not being the 'taste police', and calls into question the legitimacy of your company's commitment to give gamers the freedom to buy and play what they want. Please resolve this." https://www.valvesoftware.com/it/contact?contact-person=Gabe Newell

Two of Valve’s employees have been banning the games from Steam, Jason Ruymen and Arisa Sudangnoi.

This is good for us, Steam now allows 18+ content, SJWs banishing JP games from consoles works in our favor, most likely those devs will come to PC.

Thanks, almost missed this release too.

Thanks, never thought this will be released ,years ago saw the op and liked it, what a nice surprise.

Charages, moeges I like those of the most, where you can choose from girls, but is important that relationship well built and progresses logically. I hate when there is absolutely no romantic buildup but out of nowhere and ero scene forced just because, what I call those is throwaway scene. Those throwaway scene usually most often occurs VNs with so called story, where the game focuses on shounen like fights etc hate those with passion. So almost never want a VN with story, usually just boring and predictable filler. Now I like very dark VNs with story(lot of bad ending) or would love to read VNs with depressing ending only and of course NTR however these are quite rare so my default stance NO STORY because I never feel any fun reading them, knowing that everything will end happy and never any real danger. As it is now, give me moege NO to story and NO to nukige

You make fair points about Goblin Slayer and can understand why they did skip that part however I sure hope so this wont became a trend and skipping every part where someone might be offended. As for Akame ga Kill ,at first I did enjoy the anyone can die trope at first, however just as u pointed too many death and too fast, really lacking balance. Far more serious flaw was the obvious death flags one could see them from miles away, the icing on the cake was by the books ending guessed the last 6-8 episode exactly who will survive and will die in order. Felt like going through motions, I absolutely despite predictability, second half had absolutely no surprise and couldnt care less about characters.

I can see where are you coming from, however I didnt find Akame ga Kill that horrible, at least I would value it way more than typical shounen, certainly was flawed especially the last few episode those were horrible executed and predictable to the letter. There is a certain dogma among most of animefandom, that I strongly disagree, "every death need purpose or advance the plot otherwise is nothing but shock porn or edgy for the sake of edgy"

Seriously, Goblin Slayer was far cry from guro, it was extremely vanilla, in fact one could barely tell whats going on due the censorship, second was so disappointing I am thinking dropping it. The problem is that who like dark stuff has no choice really, about 1 show per season if lucky.

This season seems worse than last, in past month only could finish Happy Sugar Life, currently only Goblin Slayer passable , but censorship it ruined mostly, unfortunately lack of "edgy" shows yet again.

I would take anything from LiLiM DARKNESS

Usually I dont care about translation quality, but this one was so bad(machine translated or by some asian who has no idea about grammar at all) that mostly ruined the game

True,low tier hentai quality art right there
