Re: [アスガル騎士団|RPG]ROBFS4U
I can understand his frustration, but the fact of the matter is; Most Non-Japanese speaking people wouldn't pay for the game anyway because they cant understand it.
ROBF is a good RPG, one of the best really and he deserves to be compensated for creating it, unfortunately because of the barriers (Language, Dlsite Paywall, ect) it is difficult to pay for the game even if we wanted to do it.
I have paid for H-titles before, but not unless i could understand them, there have been some titles which have been translated or were not in any language like an Platformer, this is the kind of title which i have no problem paying for.
Something like ROBF isn't something which is easy to buy and even if it was, he doens't sound like he wants our business anyway.
I think he is most frustrated with the fact that the links remain up and are cutting into his homeland profits.
If more Developers made their games like Eluku (Fairy Fighting) or Fenoxo (Corruption of Champions) and relied on donations instead of purchasing from Dlsite, the developer might make a close amount of money without having to worry about the transaction.
This would ofcourse require a developer to continue to release updates to their existing game, something H-RPG creators are unwilling to do for some reason.
Free to play is a thing when it comes to gaming, League of Legends is free and it makes tons of money, nobody is forcing anyone to buy anything there; people do it because they want to.
I would suggest to the Developer of this game that he should switch this business model; i mean hell, Fenoxo made almost $200,000 in crowdfunding donations for his next project.
