Essentially, Steam (check rule 15) and itch.io are getting rid of/delisting content that payment processors don't want to process. (It's mostly adult content.)

This website has more information on what will happen if you own a game that gets delisted, and how to get it back if at all. I would personally recommend downloading it and backing it up somewhere, especially for itch.io which is not listed on the website.

A video with link sources for its information in the description validates this. If you just want to click a link here instead of going to the video, here's one for Steam and one for itch.io.

If you would like to protest this, https://yellat.money/ works for anyone and Americans can take action at https://aclu.com/mastercard.

Please remember rule 5 and tag NSFW content as such. Discussion of NSFW's existence is fine, getting into details should be tagged.

OP's comment: I noticed that the developers changed the English names to Western order

Description from crosspost:

From the video description, translated by DeepL:

Since the release of the Xbox 360 version in 2009, “STEINS;GATE” has continued to be loved around the world and boasts cumulative series sales of over 4 million copies. Now, with major updates, it will be released as “STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT” on August 20, 2026!

■Available on 6 platforms!

This title will be released on Nintendo Switch™ 2, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam®. *Some platforms will offer digital download-only versions.

■The Limited Edition includes an art book, soundtrack, and event DVD!

The game will be available in three editions: Standard Edition, Limited Edition, and Super Limited Edition (Magiget & Amazon exclusive).

The Limited Edition features a special outer box featuring original illustrations by character designer huke, the art book “VISUAL COLLECTION” containing updated graphics, the “SOUND TRACK DVD-ROM” featuring BGM remastered by composer Abo Takeshi, and a deluxe package that includes the live DVD & Blu-ray Disc from the "STEINS;GATE 15th LIVE - ONE WORLD -" held in October 2024!

The “Super Limited Edition,” available on the online store “Magiget” and Amazon, is a strictly limited-quantity production. In addition to the contents of the Limited Edition, this deluxe version includes a high-resolution framed illustration and a complete soundtrack set.

I'd like to pick up Schrödinger's Call, a contemplative and attractively hand-drawn visual novel about answering phones at the end of the world.

Figured I'd take my extremely niche question here.

So, in Bible Black, the 26th of April is a school day on Saturday. As the game was released in 2000, this appears to be completely normal given the fact that Saturdays were school days in Japan up until 2002.

However, according to this weird site I found, the second and fourth Saturdays of the month shouldn't be school days. A throwaway line about the end of the century in the game implies that it is set in 1999 (which also puts its backstory in 1987). Lo and behold, the 26th of April 1999 is a Saturday... the fourth Saturday of the month, in fact.

Is this just a plot hole or is there something I'm missing about the transition to off-Saturdays?

Mada Kobou is mainly known for Hadaka Shitsuji, but this new VN is supposed to be more on the light-hearted side.

Hey all! It has been awhile since I've gotten into Visual novels and dating sims but after watching an anime where they were the main focus I want to get back into it.

Does anyone have any recommendations of some good ones? Rating doesn't matter. I've played simple ones and AO+ eroges.

Thanks!

Game jams are frequently posted there. This means it's a neat way to discover new upcoming VNs, especially if the jam seems to have an appealing theme for you.
