Another eroge brand dies
Eroge brand Meteor (2004 - 2008) has announced on their website that they’re being liquidated as of the 30th of April. Meteor was best known for their debut game Shinjyu no yakata by Tanaka Romeo and more recently Clover Point.
I’m getting this feeling that every brand that Romeo writes for will have a high chance of dying. Xuse is on the edge now with their employees quitting, and D.O and FlyingShine have fallen into silence.
And since Romeo is going to be writing for Key this time, I guess we can expect the most awesome story ever written by mankind and Key will explode and die immediately after.

Xuse is getting downsized, huh… I hope they get to release Seinarukana’s sequel/Eien no Aselia 3 before that happens..
Or better yet, let them survive for a bit longer..

No Xuse! You can’t die yet until you give me my Eien no Aseria 3! NOOOO!

Not until we secure English distro rights to all Key IPs!

Not that I play any of these games; finding the HCGs on the web a day/week/month after the game’s release… Maybe even the full game… That’s probably one of the reasons why.
And I’ve yet to see a successful bid to catch all the worms and close that can that used to be full of them.
If only these talented people were making adult anime as oppose to adult games. Then maybe more people would have a heart.

Laissez-faire strikes again!
ONE MORE FOR CAPITALISM

I really love Key, so I hope this doesn’t happen to them…
But I guess that’s the reason they started getting into Anime and Non-H Visual Novels like Planetarian, they’re trying to get more money to avoid getting bankrupt.
It would really help these eroge companies if they started exporting their games. I know some people (like me) would still buy those games even if they can be downloaded over the internet (the box and those little extras that come with the games are worth it, especially for limited releases) , but with all those laws on pornography all over the world don’t count on it too much.
