It's also pretty important to keep the work steady and to just ignore most complaints of users/prospective users. It's always bitching most of the time and if you stop working at it it can take a far too large amount of time as you won't pick it back up. The translation of Princess Crown is a good example, basically at the "work done" stage for 2 years now, just editing of the translated text and some small text and image insertion (images the were even thinking of skipping as it was just 2 of em). Life happened and they have been awfully quiet except for some placating. I'm not one too complain to them about that stuff, but I imagine you can make an hour or half free to proofread text and you'll have a free day in 2 years to insert and compile as they said they could do that already, nothing yet. I did find lots of patches whilst going through the Alice CDs, they basically had a lot of the late 90s-early 2000s stuff on them as well, including patches.

Basically even worse Steam. At least Steam's DRM is atrocious in a good way, you can just use a few tools to deal with it's "DRM" and you have an offline game. Integration before anti-piracy, I guess. I assume the shipping is a one time fee, it's a big company after all. Kind of like most webshops here who do up to €5,- for shipping unless you go over a certain amount and it being free. $7 added on top of any item would be ridiculous and not even the Japanese would use that.

I did have a short look, but most websites warned me of not shipping anything, so I haven't even bothered. Not that I can buy much anyway. Books are always a nice initial shock, people don't think about how heavy they are. Was a surprise when I had to pay an extra €20,- after seeing the weight. Hard covers in particular, magazines are quite do able. The hint booklet is nice, you don't seem them that often. Generally big walkthrough books or art books pop up. I'll probably have a look around Suruga-ya after June, I can always find some Doujin CDs there at least. Maybe even a 3.5 inch version of Rance II hint disk (if that exists).
