Ah, I see. If you only exposed yourself to games through that, I could understand how it would appear topical to you. However, the truth is that this a trend that already has a fair bit of history. There are already vns with explicit sex on steam.

I only check steam when there's something I was already interested, like Nier Automata or Shadowrun.

So, I guess so.

Japanese developers have realised that Steam is a far more lucrative market than selling to Japanese NEETs all of the time. Just spend a bit of money on a translation, cut out the adult content and you're done.

The recent trend of western made visual novels probably isn't going to last much longer, though.

Japanese developers realize that weebs will buy your VNs over pirating them, if they have the option to.
