So I have a philosophical gaming question for you.

Visual novels are admittedly pretty niche in the gaming market as a whole.

If they don’t sell well enough sequels don’t happen.

So, as a patient gamer, do I pay full price for these games to support further development even though that means buying less games.

Or do I wait till they go for deep discount like I have been and have therefore been able to spread my limited support around more.

If my end goal is making sure these games keep being made as much as possible, what’s my best option?

I am all for the patient gaming mentality and typically wait until games are 50%+ off before I think of purchasing.

Looking for opinions on my best course of action. Thanks!

    That’s a great point and I never looked at it as a dichotomy.

    However, bugs aren’t something I typically run into due to the nature of the simplicity of VNs. It’s more of a question of do I give max support to my favorite developers or spread the support around in hopes of finding new projects from different developers besides my favorite.

    The way you laid it out though helps me ask the question of which of those two is more important to me.

    Asking the real questions!
