Much later they would also use this antenna to send out radio broadcasts ... of a questionable nature. I like this description better I don't know if the lewdness is part of the game or your humour, but if it's the former, what the fuck is this game Quote
Funyarinpa Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Lmao Steam doesn't allow pornographic content and for good reason (kids can and will access any porn), it's not a tirade of censorship on moenovel's part, they just want to sell their game on Steam. Also likening a repression of sexual content to the political left is just... Hilariously off-base, to say the least. EastCoastDrifter 1 Quote

As long as there is porn on the Internet, kids will have access to it. This argument is basically the same as saying as all porn online should be censored, which is stupid. It's essentially parents' responsibility to watch what their kids do online, and the companies don't have to think about this. I am not implying that there aren't other reasons why they do that.

bakauchuujin Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Something like Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o - Michael no Otome-tachi is probably way tamer than what a loot of kids usually watch. Quote
littleshogun Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Since MoeNovel is a part of Pulltop, I would say that the blame should go to the Pulltop for their crappy policy instead of make SJW conspiracy analogy thing that derailed the thread earlier. Okay, maybe people may say that Japanese company still traumatic with Rapelay incident, but still with many people already knew that VN usually did have 18+ scenes I said that Pulltop here is the most likely clueless and dense about their demographic target with their censorship like I stated few times earlier. Especially so if we realized that they never release Miagete 18+ patch to make up the censorship back at the VN release itself, and more if we knew that Pulltop did sold Konosora at Mangagamer site and they did localized Princess Waltz with JAST back at 2008 (Obviously with H scenes).

Let me elaborate. A platform with access to porn and without access to porn are different things, especially in Western countries. As soon as laypeople perceive that Steam can allow access to porn, it'll be the death of the platform- it'll deter parents from allowing their children to use it, it'll affect Steam's treatment by the law of many countries, they'll likely need to implement new background check methods to so much as be allowed to operate in many places under many jurisdictions. I do not condone the fact that porn itself is so stigmatized (beyond concern for children), but as it is, it's really easy to understand why Steam (like most other platforms) doesn't allow pornography.

Dergonu Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 *Sigh* Let's try to keep things on topic, shall we? Because many comments were half and half between serious points and derailing comments about all sorts of unrelated things, I had to hide a decent chunk of the most recent comments. If you want to continue the discussion, please do so without derailing the thread into oblivion. On the topic of MoeNovel's censorship. While it is understandable that they want to market their games for Steam, (something most companies do,) this doesn't excuse the lack of any form of 18+ version of their games, either in the form of patches, or separate games sold on different stores. (The dumb part being, they actually DO sell their games on other stores, for example on Mangagamer, but this version is still censored.) This is especially silly, seeing as every single game they have ever localized has been an eroge originally. (Even Love Kami, as it was discovered that, while the games were released first in the west as all-ages games, the original still had the 18+ content written into them, but it was simply sold later in Japan, most likely to avoid the eyes of western fans complaining about censorship.) In Cross Channel's case, they do have a console version they can use, (this still bothers me personally, as the original release was an eroge, and the console port came later, so I'd want the original version localized, and not the console version,) but it is at the very least a bit more defendable. The terrible translation is not, though. Dreamysyu, EastCoastDrifter and Kawasumi 3 Quote

jetpack003 Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Well, this is another VN that you will never see having an 18+ version. I seriously don't understand why they are so keen to make their games only 17+... Quote

Unfortunately, MoeNovel can't see the profits in localizing an 18+ version that would appeal to people who purchase such things. Quote
littleshogun Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Just in case you want to buy it, it'll be released at 26th later according to their (MoeNovel) tweet. Let's see what kind of translation that they'll have for Cross Channel later. Quote
