Because otherwise horny players would moan about "censorship" :P

I am from those who just cannot play censored titles, but I am fine as long as it was how the game was intended (I also hate all-age games that add H-scenes just to bait the "horny players", always feel forced and unnecessary). And I do agree with the OP

Yeah. But sometimes there are games that were first released as an eroge, but H-scenes in them still feel forced and unnecessary - and in such cases I also prefer all-ages version if it exists. That was the case with the many VNs I've read recently - like Sorairo, Kono Aozora Ni Yakusoku O, or HimaNatsu I'm reading right now. Really, all-ages versions of those titles feel so much more consistent, and have better flow.

There are also games which handle their ero stuff tastefully, with proper build-up etc - recent example I've read that comes to mind is Sakura Strasse. Mashiro Iro Symphony and Aokana were also very good at that (but so were their all-ages versions)

But actually currently I first usually go for all-ages version - which usually means console port for untranslated, and Steam version for translated. Sometimes, especially if all-ages version is made by translation company, I feel like they didn't do good job, and then I switch over to eroge version. That was the case with titles localized by Solpress - Sakura Sakura and Under One Wing. They cut waay too much. But OTOH all-ages versions created by NekoNyansoft are great, and I never felt the need to download H-scene patch for Sanoba Witch or Making Lovers. And all-ages versions created by developers themselves for console ports also usually do the job for me. And often they come with bonuses such as extended scenario or new routes.

As for Hoshimemo this thread started from - I bought it on Steam quite long time ago, but I'm waiting for the long-promised-by-SekaiProject retranslation.

hmm? wouldnt be censorship if there wasnt any hscene in the first place you know.

Well, I saw some Steam reviews when someone claimed that they clearly see where the h-scenes were cut from the Akari's route in Flight Diary - even though that route never had any ;) And I guess that if there was only one route without h-scene, then people would still complain, that they can't lewd their favorite waifu. Sadly, that seems to be universal eroge rule - if there's a route, then sex scene is mandatory. Perhaps that's the leftover from dating-sim era - so that players who chose certain heroine wouldn't feel "cheated".

You can also often see, that sometimes developers strive to provide equal number of scenes for each heroine, and it's obvious that some of them were added just to meet the quota.

Well, maybe it's true and maybe it isn't. I haven't read it personally. There is a chance the writer naturally gravitates towards a h scene buildup even though there aren't any. I am assuming that is the type of scenario the writer is used to

Reminds me of a certain dream scene in FSN. :serasmug:

Edit. As for Hoshimemo, I'm actually in the same boat as @adamstan... with the exception that at some point after buying it I realized that this game is clearly very far from my tastes, so I doubt that I'll play it even if that new translation ever comes out (though at this point I'm pretty sure it won't).

They're probably struggling with what to do about mare. Scrap her and piss people off or keep her h scene and maybe get into trouble. Stamp her as a 1000 year old dragon as much as you want, non weebs will label it as child porn.

I dont really like thar scene, but im the type adamstan mentions. If something is censored then im not touching it. Majority of what im reading lately is non eroge though.

Well at least if they stamp her as a 1000 year old. But in this case, no. She's technically 7 year old lol
