If I remember correctly, Jacob said that in the case of Honey Select, the only money FAKKU is getting is the money to cover the cost of translation/programming the game for overseas release. Aside from that, Illusion is getting all the money from the sales of the English version, so FAKKU isn't making money from royalties. In this case a Steam release would actually mean losing some of that money (like a 30% cut) for Illusion, though there is the advantage of exposure on Steam. Then again, if all these developers jump on Steam the exposure might wind up being kind of moot anyway. Not to mention Steam has been rather fickle in how they treat adult content. All these adult releases might be okay right now, but I wouldn't be surprised if Steam changed their mind later about allowing that content on their platform. It would be best for Illusion not to put all their eggs in the Steam basket, like Mangagamer and other companies have since they still have their own storefronts.
Anyway, I hope Illusion still releases their other games on FAKKU and doesn't stick to Steam only releases because I don't like DRM on my games. I'd really like to see Koikatu get an English release.
Interesting, so fakku isnt getting anything from the sales of this game? That was actually one of the thing i was most curious about since fakku was the publisher I was wondering how it would effect their cut if it was available elsewhere. Also, being on steam doesn't 100% mean DRM there are a lot of games on steam that you can play on a computer without steam so long as you have the main files and the exe. Though I do get the why its not as desirable. For me I just find it easier to have all my games in one place.
