a few posts on the steam thing are referencing how there's tons of anime porn on steam and that is technically true but also they will ban japanese games or visual novels if they're having a bad day or the humours were misaligned on tuesday or whatever

this is insane both on its face and with several more insane details once you read the full thing
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

From the Days of Mana specials in Nintendo Power: Katsuya Terada's visions of the world of The Secret of Mana, which, like their illustrations for Link's Awakening, lend the game a darker, more mature vibe akin to the artwork you might see in a Wizardry game.

In the original arcade version of Final Fight, there's a third button whose function is to escape grabs. It's not wired by default in arcade machines, but was left in the game code and can be accessed via emulation. Here, I tested it via MiSTerFPGA. It was probably used by the devs during QA.

a game released on ps4 10 years ago is probably just as good as a ps5 game that will release in 3 years tbh
there’s gotta be a “healthier” way to play games rather than only playing something that released this week before it’s considered a “dead game”

While researching this article, I looked at several Japanese companies to find points of comparison. Here is an example of what I found on SNK.

Harada basically said the same thing last time I talked to him
One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.
