I thinks its more a lesson that you cant throw up a game like this on steam with a bad description of the game, with a patch that has 90% of the game that your expecting people to find on their own and basically 100% relying on word of mouth for your sales, On top of that wasn't one of people who helped TL the game was trashing it before it came out and minor controversy about the game and censoring.
It just seems like lots went wrong for what was always going to be a niche title in an already niche market and lets be honest if there wasn't a fan TL of the game done we never would have got a English release of the game.
