A Dark Times for DLSite.....

[Honuel]

I'm very happy that this game is getting brought to steam even tho i have 0 hope in the 1st place.... But DLSite is closing itself to the world ( you need Japan VPN access to see All category ) I hope more Japanese H-Devs make a move like this because even DLsite is hurting them.

I don't see credit card companies going back to DLsite unless they hide their entire R18 side of the site from the West. They are determined to destroy that industry here, and I expect it to only get worse. Right now the only way to access pretty much any of the content that isn't vanilla you have to use a VPN.

I think, for the most part, this is an acceptable compromise because most of the weebs that buy from DLsite should be tech savvy enough to be able to do something as simple as use a VPN. DLsite isn't exactly mainstream here in the west. I still buy from there occasionally, but it's much more convenient to buy on Steam.

It's a compromise to get credit card companies to come back. Can they also be used to purchase games only visible through VPN? Hopefully, otherwise it defeats the purpose of doing this.

it's also worth pointing out that Visa and MasterCard cannot be used to purchase goods when on JP DLsite. like the logos don't even appear at the bottom of the site.

I bought this game on DLSite, and now I'm buying it on Steam before it disappears. Same problem with DLSite—I was checking the dev and found that I can't see any of their released games anymore. A real shame. This issue has been happening since February. I only realized what was going on when I confirmed with another dev that they hadn't removed their game and asked about it in the DLSite Discord, where I got an idea of which games were being blocked.

Now it's becoming inconvenient. Even though I can still download the blocked games, I can no longer access their pages.

Well, as they say around here, if I can't buy it, then I'm not the target audience. So, I see no harm in downloading it from 'one piece.'

What I do know is that *Petite* and a category related to non-consensual content are blocked.

There are two levels of shadow bans:
1. If the category is in the description, you can't access the link and redirect at home
2. If it's mentioned in the reviews, you can access it directly via the link but not by searching for it.

Another alternative is that you might still be able to access a game's page if it's in your favorites, cart, or purchase history, but I have no way to confirm this.

Darn man. Now I'm wishing I got around to watching One Piece because I can't even GUESS what the website you're referring to might be. Even though I'm desperate to find a good site for that stuff xD Any further hints you could possibly give to someone who never watched the show?
