Now that games are slowly starting to heal, will Happy Horny games come back?

>>714466297 (OP)
I don't think so.
Gal Gun, DOA (fighting entries) and Senran are not back.

I wish I got to be a teenager in Japan
>Nooo the bullying culture there is insane
Idk it would be worth it

Where are you getting the idea that gaming is "healing"? That plastic overproduced gook game Stellar Blade that's firmly in the confines of safe horny and which was censored on release anyway? Meanwhile here's Inti Creates saying they have no platform to release Gal*Gun on any more because all of them have the same policies against Japanese-style games. Bonus Aquaplus saying largely the same thing. Both of them know all too well the pain of having the rug pulled on them.

>>714466697
I'm just trying to be optimistic...

>>714466297 (OP)
Steam bans any kind of games like Gal Gun now

>>714466697
Switch and Switch 2 are enough

well, have you been shilling for Yamada, Tarou?

>>714467229
So?
One of the great thing about PC is that you don't need to remain in a closed environment.

Blue Archive and Pragmata give me hope lolicons are rising up and if lolicons can get power again then reviving the ecchi game genre is childs play after that

I check his Xitter semi-regularly. One of the few political allies we have, anywhere. Bless him. I seriously hope he manages to keep Japan from ratifying that retarded UN cybercrime treaty, at least not without the reservation clause.

i don't even care about happy horny. i just want happy games to come back. remember shit like starfy? the assorted sundry cutesy platformers that weren't made by the worst people ever, or laced with weird gay shit?

it's gotten so bad that i reminisce the good old days of fucking piss filter and gamecube. i am actively nostalgic for what is widely considered one of the most shit eras in gaming. new shit is technologically better, some is objectively better, but very few have the same kind of genuine creative energy. it's all too same-y.

Won't be much of a problem if we wait just a bit longer.
The Dutch are currently suing Sony over abuse of monopoly on the PlayStation platform, having created a walled garden that requires publishers to go through them and only them and leaves them at their whims and mercy to be able to reach what is roughly 80% of the console-gaming consumer market in the Netherlands.

If that is starting to sound familiar to you; it's Epic-vs-Apple. Or rather: EU-vs-Apple, given this is playing out in the EU - and the only thing that needs to happen here, is the EU Commission taking note of this suit, deciding it is raising valid points, and using their discretionary power to start treating PSN as a gatekeeper under the DMA.

::Boom:: - PlayStation legally forced to allow alternate storefronts and sideloading. And no more censorship bullcrap from Sony cockblocking releases.

The biggest obstacle to "happy horny games" is the age of consent. It'd be really weird for a bunch of older women to be doing these things, but anything younger gets labeled as pedophilia. Embrace the safe horny decision to make your characters stylized nonhumans. That's the only way to get happy horny back.

>>714468972
It was fine 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago

>>714468972
Notions of "consent" are laughable when applied to fictional characters as they are creations of the author entirely and thus completely under the author's control. Don't give the "muh consent/pedo" retards ground, they will go a mile with it. They're already making up reasons to declare anime girls of "legal age" pedophilia, there is no winning with them but to shut them down entirely.

>>714468972
For fuck's sake, you have college roasties declaring shaving and hairless vaginas to be pedophilia. This is on par with "walking your dog is white supremacy". These people are utterly insane. Do not entertain their notions for one second.

>>714466297 (OP)
Not that one LMAO

>>714469665
I have faith

>>714470051
Well you shouldn't when they already admitted they won't make them anymore

>Meanwhile here's Inti Creates saying they have no platform to release Gal*Gun
He says right there that Nintendo is still a viable option for them (I'm assuming he's explicitly talking about the Japanese side there). In a previous thread I brought up the possibility that Takuya Aizu said that because he's unaware on what's being done to Otaku games, but he seems to be fully aware on what's being done to them on Steam (a western platform, so not his home turf in the slightest, nor one that fuck with his company yet), which would lead to the conclusion that he does in fact know.
This might mean that he knows more than we do, since Inti are long time third party partners to Nintendo he might've contacted them about their policies to confirm if they'd be able to release a new Gal*Gun on the Switch 1/2 (why even bring up the possibility to begin with?). Plus we know that a literal who like Sugar Rush can get in contact with Nintendo Japan directly so why wouldn't Inti Creates? I also speculated before the release of Servants of the Dark that all three major platform holders are giving Inti Creates special treatment over a variety of reasons, so maybe that schizo theory is actually true?
They already mentioned that they have several games in development for their 30th anniversary, which is next year, so we'll have to wait and see if any of them is a new mainline Gal*Gun.

>>714466297 (OP)
Not anytime soon. Any game with cute anime girls is considered problematic lately. Even the new Nekopara game had trouble getting into steam. It's really bizarre how this fake moral outrage came out of no where when 10 years ago nobody gave a shit.
