The language is clearly not their biggest barrier in negotiations, they've got no trouble talking to companies. But they've been, indeed, TRYING to make connections with more companies and bring out newer, better games and it doesn't seem like they're having huge success at it. If they spend more money on games, and charge less for them (since you claim their prices to be absurd) how long do you think they'll stay in business?ĭisclaimer: I don't know their actual sales figures and neither do 99.9% of the people speculating on the decision and the meaning behind it. The whole point of the no-voices flap is that apparently they DON'T have enough of an audience and are not confident of selling enough to pay their costs and earn a little. Honestly, even if visual novels are a nieche on western market the are plenty of people interested which means they have at least much of an audience to pay the costs and earn a little I don't have anything against MG - they've been the most sucesfull with shipping japanese visual novels to our western market and it's a good stuff, but I think they should change their policies a bit and try to work a bit more with finding more studios interested in a parthership with them it should be their main job after all.
The language is propably the biggest barrier in negotiations and agreements, but if that's the case why they went into translating VN's in the first place? Honestly, even if visual novels are a nieche on western market the are plenty of people interested which means they have at least much of an audience to pay the costs and earn a little with so many underscored japanese developers that produce beautiful vn's it's a bit hillarious, to see only so few titles shipped. I also think that there are plenty of better titles that MangaGamer could try to get. With such statements, it won't make them all any good.
In overall, the game is really nice but the prices are absurd from my point of view.
