If you forget the glory days of when pirating pre-patched VNs was super easy, English speaking fans living outside of Japan have it quite good when it comes to pricing. Recently I bought Totono (You and Me and Her) in Japanese from a Japanese website, and it cost me around $60. The Steam price is literally half that. I also was considering buying another VN but ultimately opted against it, in part because for a Japanese copy I was looking at spending $100, whereas the localization on Steam was only $20. I suspect this is also the reason why on Steam they don't have it as an option to read VNs in Japanese. Since Japanese people would probably start buying the localized versions instead. 

The price disparity is so bad, that I have to use a VPN to buy some VNs from JastUSA. I bought Yume Miru Kusuri a month ago for a reread in Japanese, but I also wanted the English version as well (for extraneous reasons), and I needed to use a VPN to access the Jast page. Keep in mind, I live in Japan.  

EDIT: I should note that all the Japanese VNs I mentioned here, I bought as digital copies. Meaning all the associated expenses of physical releases don't apply. 

Kinda, I also have to say buy games without regional price these days is kinda hard for most people, that probably why most wouldn't recommend buying games from places other than Steam even if the it's a from a place like Mangagamer

 

If you live in USA or Europe it might not be too bad, but in other places like Argentina and Brazil for example, these game can cost almost 4 times more that it would on Steam, I guess that Steam become the norm for PC games

[Takashi Masada (Dies Irae, KKK, Paradise lost) is going to announce a new game on august 9]

So did they announced a game ?

[Just About Everywhere You Can Buy Visual Novels in English]

Sadly buying VN I places other than Steam is not really ideal for anyone that lives in place other USA and Europe, the lack of regional price pretty much make games cost almost 4  higher than it should

[Soukou Akki Muramasa is getting an official Western release on 24-th of August]

The best thing about the new update, is the new regional price, it way better now compared to before, at least I my country
