I hope GOG considers bringing the franchise here, or that Spike Chunsoft finally becomes okay with DRM-free. SC is sitting on a lot of highly acclaimed VNs. Including the SciADV series (of which Chaos;Head is a part) - with Steins;Gate being the cream of the crop.

Danganronpa series would be great to have here, too.

...If you're talking Spike Chunsoft, wouldn't we rather sooner table their acclaimed Mystery Dungeon series?

Steam is okay with selling hardcore Furry porn games, but not this? Am I missing something about the game OP posted?

Good for us. Maybe we'll get the Nonary Games trilogy.

You do you - I was never a big fan of the series. :P Well, the ones I played anyway.

edit: While I'm at it, guess I should add that I too would like to see the Zero Escape/Nonary Games series, AI: The Somnium Files, and YU-NO remake here. Super unlikely but maybe casting my wish into the void will help in some miniscule way...

428: Shibuya Scramble is also supposed to be excellent. I counted 'em up, and there were literally 19 games I'd buy from them if they bring their catalog here. Getting way ahead of myself here, but I am hoping that the Steam ban ends up having a major silver lining here.

Valve reversed their decision: https://www.gematsu.com/2022/10/chaoshead-noah-for-pc-to-launch-via-steam-as-previously-planned-on-october-7

Which means... probably still nothing from Spike Chunsoft on GOG for the foreseeable future. Sucks, man.

It was expected to be not released on GOG since they never re-listed way of the samurai 3 and 4 which they now own.

I get that, but they were without a storefront to sell the game on for a few days there. Thus, the wishful thinking.

Sucks indeed.

Strangely, what annoys me most about this is the amount of uproar it got because the game wasn't going to be sold on Steam... a whole emailing and social media campaign, petition, mass journalism coverage.
Yet there's no uproar at all when devs refuse to sell on GOG. And a very minor blip of upset when GOG rejects a game.

Instead, all we get are arguments about devs not being beholden to GOG/non-Steam users' wishes to have the game available outside of Steam, or sold without DRM, etc. I held my tongue during this C;HN event, but the whole time wondered where the typical arguments used against GOG users were, and why they weren't directed to those Steam users... The stuff about "just buy on __ platform instead", "the devs don't have to cater to your wishes to have it on your preferred storefront", yak yak yak. >_>

On the bright side, I don't think I've ever seen comment threads about a Steam rejection feature soooo many mentions of GOG. So maybe, somehow, this alternative platform has gained some traction. I hope, anyway.

The platform seems to be doing better now that gog is cultivating better releases again.
