Visual novel streaming is generally prohibited by publishers. In particular, MAGES. or 5pb., the company that sells Steins;Gate, is very strict. The main reason why there was an arrest in the recent streaming case is probably because MAGES. was involved. MAGES. was previously a subsidiary of Kadokawa, but is now a subsidiary of Colopl.
- astrange 3y agoMAGES. is also not even the only Japanese company to go bankrupt because the CEO decided to spend the money on producing a J-pop idol group instead of releasing products. Also, Steins;Gate, which does not contain sexual content, was briefly banned on Steam because Valve is run by the kind of people who think everything from Japan is child porn. (And then the only product they've ever unbanned from people complaining about this.) This is /after/ they changed policies to supposedly allow absolutely anything on the store, which is why it's full of trashy 3D rendered porn now; turns out "anything" means "anything Western".
