As can be seen, just as Konami is now very much a pachinko company despite most of its public profile being garnered from video games, Square Enix’s revenues from smartphone titles drastically exceed their traditional games in both extent and consistency – making it very much a casual gaming company. - quote from article

I think you're right about the easy money part, but the more i think about it, what if the game companies in Japan are operating on the same kind of budgeting scheme that the car industry in America has been operating on for years. Which is borrow money from the banks to cover costs and then repay it with a ridiculous amount of interest attached. I think the Jap companies would get tired of that pretty quickly. Maybe that's why they are going into the causal/mobile cash grab

That's not the issue though. You could just as well focus on character interactions (which should be the main part of a harem story anyway) so each heroine gets enough character development. Then again, actually having a plot and not using cheap tricks such as introducing new girls whenever you require new developments helps. Just look at Campione!, the number of heroines is small (four total) and they are all introduced in the first few volumes, so that the author can then focus on story and character development. On the other hand you have that monster inn garbage where more and more girls are thrown into the mix yet the author wastes all screentime on the ghost girl. He needn't have even bothered with a harem if he had wanted to focus on her.

Although usage of the space matters a lot there's only so much you can fit into a given number of pages. A typical H manga is maybe 20-30. Fine for one girl, but quickly gets cramped as you add more and more. The same principle applies to a long running series.

Sankaku also has a perk of not needing to constantly click between pages, as it will just load the next however many as you continue to scroll down, but on the other hand will attempt to load the ads for those "pages" of content as well. So I suppose it negates its own benefit (on the user end anyhow).
>>14303409
>yet no one seems to grasp why that is the ultimate and total opposite of what a hentai site should be.
Same thing with the ads on just about any major lewd site. It's one thing to advertise newly released CGs or hentai games, or where to buy an onahole or whatever, but more often than not it's ads for 3DPD related shit, which just screams not knowing your audience. People are coming to such sites for 2D, stop trying to shill real life porn or meet ups at them. Makes about as much sense as the time 8ch got a bunch of ads for pussy pumps (which I highly doubt there's much of a market for here).
>>14303424
>>14303416
I think some stuff either gets excised due to DMCA at times, but it wouldn't shock me if it's more likely just hidden from those not logged in. Think that's what happens with, say, hitomi, where you can find a link in a related content section and click it, only for it to shoot back a 403 error page or whatnot. Could well be that some content it freely accessible for X amount of time, before becoming permanently account-only. But that's just my own speculation.
>>14303460
Speaking of Fakku, it seems fucking stupid to me that other sites, rather than merely taking down any links to doujins that Fakku now sells under DMCA, will instead reroute the page to a fucking advertisement for that spider Jake's site to buy it through. I mean, why in the fuck would you willingly advertise for one of your click-competition rivals? At least as far as 8ch is concerned, there's free-to-download torrents in the GG thread copypastas for stuff Jake wants shekels for.

Crashes happen (most of the time) from the lack of trust of investors, or the lack of interest of consumers.
Consumers keep spending their wages in imaginary digital access to pointless data that costs next to nothing to produce, and show no sign of stopping. It won't crash.
Video games are interesting for that matter because it's a prime exemple of how using psychology and behavioral theories for marketing is terrifyingly effective. It's going to get worse, much much worse. If I put on my tinfoil hat, I might even say that's the main reason why political groups have had such a keen interest in vidya this last decade.

I'd say it's less that and more that it's the biggest medium not controlled by (((America))) and thus the strongest venue for messages that don't mesh with what (((The West))) wants people to think and know.

I don't like any of Square's games but I respect them because even though they are making bank with shit tier mobile games they are still putting out normal ass games.
Unlike Konami.

I did say I didn't like their stuff Anon. The reasons you stated are a big part of the reasons why.

It's called Sinoalice, it's a poor man's Granblue Fantasy with loads of text by Yoko Taro. Only in japanese of course.

>pixiv started banning lolicon contet at one point I believe and has gotten stricter with lewds as time goes by
There is still loli and plenty of degenerate lewd shit on there. I use pixiv almost every day and have noticed little change over the last year or so, although I have little experience with the content creator side of things. I imagine if you have a big enough audience though, just uploading your shit onto social media would be more productive.

It's not what you're expecting. Some mind fuckery that ties into her powers is in it for a bit, but it's overall really sweet.
>netorare
I can't possibly take that ending seriously, certainly not when the source is typical bad harem anime (albeit with good lewd). It's actually positive if he's finally manned up and chosen a girl even if some of them lose out.

It's exactly what I was expecting - a cheap gimmick used to break her down and open her legs without really meaning anything at all. Mindbreak isn't bad. Authors that can't think or time mindbreak into something potent are bad. But then, most of those faggots have a seasonal schedule and will never plan out something to make it truly effective.
>albeit with good lewd
We'll disagree. The lewd in TLR is absolute shit. Nothing natural about it at all, so there's no relate or tie-in. He'd have done better by at least making some of the girls have gravure careers for all the realism put in those shitty pratfalls. TLR is shit through and through.

She was already interested in doing him even before the whole "shared emotions" thing, which is borrowed from the actual series. It's there to push her over the edge and it works fine for that. I don't want a H doujin to spend ages elaborating on the characters.
>We'll disagree.
We probably agree more than you'd think since I never said it had substance behind it. It's the sort of thing I'd "read" for the pictures when I don't want full-on H.
