>yeah, we changed the environment so that it's so hard to make that no one wants to try any more, but at least we didn't pass laws
You de facto banned Japanese ecchi games. You can't pilpul your way out of this. Even worse, you banned them effectively WORLDWIDE, not just in America, because Sony, Nintendo and Steam's policies are all global. Tokyo Clanpool couldn't even release uncensored in Japan/Asia on Switch.

It's not until platform holders lift their restrictions on Japanese expression. Need I remind you what happened to Tokyo Clanpool, the last major ecchi game that tried to release? That's what any new Senran Kagura would go through if it tried to release today.

Nigger, it was ruthlessly potent. Japanese ecchi games are dead completely because of video game storefront policies that started with Sony. Senran Kagura, Gal*Gun, Bullet Girls, Genkai Tokki, Omega Labyrinth, etc., they're all gone and haven't come back. They accomplished exactly what they set out to do, which was neuter the Japanese video game industry. You also conveniently ignore the ESG/DEI and USAID funds, which came right from the USGOV during Biden's term to pozz Japanese companies at the source. Japanese vendors were getting hit by credit card deplatforming long before orange man came back. This is not an "orange man bad" thing. I suspect you just want to drum up support for the midterms so you can get back to importing infinity niggers and pozzing companies top-down with USAIDbux.

I don't care how much you try to bury everything you've done the last decade and pretend none of it mattered. I'm not voting for DEI and infinity nigger ethnic replacement so you can just put the shitty itchio WEGs back and pacify the Bluesky crowd while Japanese anime and games are still loocalized, pozzed, censored and deplatformed.

Not as things are, in fact, there's now a real chance the existing games could just get delisted from Steam.

Takaki foresaw that Sony's censorship would eventually spread to the entire industry and decided not to continue.

There are very few games that openly cater to straight male otakus (4Chan's core userbase) outside of gachas now because of Sony, Nintendo and Steam all banning and censoring retail Japanese fanservice moege nearly out of existence. So everyone gravitated to the only thing left for them that's allowed to exist. It's insidious.
