>Steam just recently became available in Japanese so that might finally help popularize it a little bit. Do you agree?
>TK: Definitely that's the hope. If Steam would've been there to begin with, though, who knows if we would've even made PS4 games. When we were developing for Steam there was always kind of this grass is greener mentality about console gaming and, especially in Japan, the success of console gaming which is kind of what led us to challenge outselves to start developing for consoles in the first place. That ended up having a really positive impact as well, so it's kind of hard to say.

Does Japan have a Steam equivalent anyway? Like, how do all those indie devs in Japan get their games out to the world, just post them to their personal website and hope they get lucky?
>>385444450
How fucking new are you, jesus fucking christ.
I would be okay with PC getting more Japanese games as long as Pee-C mustards don't act like a high and mighty arrogant dickbags every fucking time with their "LMAO MASTER RACE WINS AGAIN, THX FOR BETA-TESTING KEK" faggotry.

They have DL Site and Playism, but most big name company don't use it.
I think Falcom sell some of their games on DL Site.

Thats gonna happen always. Still falcom need al the support. Shit like FF15 deserve to die.

I see. Can any indie dev post their game on there just like with steam greenlight? Also for some reason trying to view the site in English takes you to the adult-only section
Thanks for the info

FF got support only because of the fanboys, i know way too much people who forced to like the game only because the title is Final Fantasy.
If Falcom keep making good games, people would naturally give them more attention and support.

Most Japanese indiedev sell their porn game in that place.
I think people can submit their stuff but i don't know how they handle non-Japanese seller or how they handle stuff in general, most non-Japanese developer will aim either Patreon or Steam anyway because DL-Site is not popular for english-speaking community, or at least we have minset "who the hell paying for porn?".
They have all-age section, but the link only available on their Japanese version homepage for some reason.

Yeah I just noticed the "Submit your work" button on the site
Really wish they had a less porn-oriented place, though
