Who the fuck is gonna buy a hentai game when you could just buy a fleshlight and pirate the game?

If you sell 50k games and even then manage to have to shut down while making "click through pictures and text" games, you have other issues to work out haha.

me hard me want cumies

Not necessarily. Some voice talent licensing for these games can legitimately be expensive, especially if it's a mainstream voice actress under a pseudonym.

>500k - 50k = 495k
k

Reminder that just because a company is shutting down doesn't mean it was a failure.

>tracking users

Is that... legal?

i would be interested to know how many of those 495,000 people were going to actually buy the game in the first place though.

I remember asking this DJ guy that was talking about piracy in the music industry this same question when he went on about lost revenue, and he got angry at me then just ignored me question and asked for another one.

I will make it legal.

>OnTakahashi

That's the ignorant retard manipulating Japanese artists with lies and taking down their stuff on e-hentai with copyright claims. The funny thing is that you can't buy the removed works on his website, which means he's not only pissing off an entire community, but he's also reducing publicity for those artists. He's also too much of a fucking pussy to admit it's him doing it, and he'll instead say that it's was requested by the artists themselves.

Eroge and hentai piracy is largely the result of three things. The first being that there's no easily accessible and convenient mainstream distribution platform like Steam. This is largely the result of the second problem, eroge and hentai, by and large, are niche products outside of Japan so most distributors wont bother with licensing them. The last problem, and this only relates to eroge, is that they usually fucking suck. Why would you drop $20 on a game with awful gameplay that you'll probably only open up and fap to once or twice before forgetting about it?

I'm guessing you don't know how websites work either.

Also people dont know how to do a 1:1 translation without going full autism

OH NO NOT SOME H-GAME COMPANY THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD OF CLOSING THEIR DOORS!

You mean like Piracy?

Everything you do online is tracked.

OnTakahashi is a fucking spineless virgin. People like him deserve the most excruciating pain this planet has to offer

I highly doubt 500K people even care about one specific piece of eroge

Why are you playing a game you know sucks?

This. I'm already used to translations taking forever, or, hell, never happening at all, so if I was forced to buy a game, I would probably just ignore it and not buy it.

No
No, not really

When the devs of porn games put ANY effort into them, then I'll throw them some money. Currently they're all fucking trash and ecchi stuff like DOA Volleyball is unironically better.

Maybe they should focus on making a good game instead.

>paying for porn
Why would anyone?

Because I want to coom

>generate unique key when launching game if not found in registry and save it
>send key in one single http request to server
It's totally unidentifiable.

Honesty this. Make your games not run like shit, have lots of customization options, a bunch of different animations and INCLUDE MOD SUPPORT

What artists did he remove?

explain to me then how any indie dev makes money on PC. gee maybe you should make a game that people will be willing to put down money for.

I buy shit off Mangagamer, but only if it's on sale, because shit can be way to expensive. Have they seen their prices? VNs a couple years old still selling for 40-45 bucks, hell you look at Da Capo 2, a 9 (10 this year) old visual novel selling for $45. Fuck that shit. Also there's the very real question of how many people who pirated would have actually paid to begin with.

>Tfw furries make a "make your own porn engine" that beats anything that isnt from illusion and its free
>yiffalicious so I dont have to reply to anyone that wants to know

I've bought plenty of games on DLsite. They can get my money by catering to my fetish.

I have a degree of sympathy for translators. Sure they're a fuck ton of awful ones out there, and anyone who makes changes based off of 'current year' is a fucking mong, I'll give you that. But proper translation that retains the spirit and meaning of the original work is fucking tough.

Not saying I do, but there are people who do it just to get their rocks off, a short of fire and forget situation, like with an user like . The chances of people like that paying for a product are lower.
