Plenty of well selling stuff out there without that stuff in it. I feel sometimes its inserted just for that sterotypical thought process of "sex sells" but its forced and token when they do that and it actually detracts rather then adds to the content. The whole "sex sells" thing is a vastly overrated concept anyways and doesn't work nearly as well as the public seems to think.

And yes I am still bitter about the H scenes in FSN VN. 85% of them added nothing except more laughs at just how terribly done they were and the ones that did add something to the story were so low in quality that it was a push even for those. I bet even if they took out every sex scene the VN would have done basically the same sales.

not really. Everyone in the industry is known to be underpaid simply because the amount of work it takes to get out something like UBW is ridiculous even if it sells "well". 99% of the stuff out there is still not selling good enough for people to earn a decent wage.

You'll get more working at McDonalds as a Burgerflipper than a lot of people working in this industry if you're looking at $/hour

They'll take any money they can get really (I guess that's true in general for most people no matter the situation lol)

Maybe now it would, but Type-Moon today is very different compared to when it had just gone from a small doujin group to an actual company (when FSN first came out).

Sex does sell, but if you hide it you can't really expect it to be a big selling factor, lol.

his point is that it could've sold just fine on the strength of its plot or whatever
the hscenes seemed like they were added in as an afterthought when they finished it like 'oh right this is supposed to be eroge, where can we cram some sex in??'

i remember posting on this exact sentiment a while back

outside of movie stars.

and of course, there are some who are paid plenty but some struggle just to put food on the table and that shouldn't be happening. Just like in shirobako lol.

Its cause the anime/VN industry is fucking tiny. Very few companies can afford non-H, like Key can cause they are huge within that tiny industry, Typ-Moon could prolly sell a Saber VN without h-scenes and it would sell well right now too

however it would sell more with H.

Also Michuru Mahou Shoujo game stretch goal reached.

Well sex scene can be one of the factor that help original F/SN sales though. Mahou Tsukai no Yoru (Mahoyo) sold significantly less than the orignial F/SN and many argue that it is because it has no sex scenes (although that might be because of other factors too).

Sex is natural,people enjoy sex, everything is sexualized(Guys/Girls). People just need to accept this shit and stop making sex some kind of taboo. The whole throwing in H-scenes for the hell of it only works because of this whole repression/taboo thing going on. If everyone just accepted it terrible random H-scenes would be viewed as what they are, terrible.

Michuru Mahou Shoujo game sounds epic.

VNs wouldn't be where they are without sex and they'll continue to have sex because sex is awesome.

I remember the first VN I ever played. It was also my first encounter with porn. Noctrunal Illusion. https://vndb.org/v725

shit was weird.

damn I am so bad at catching up with anime. Just few weeks of exam and stuff and already behind by 3-4 episodes for everything this season. And then I continue with Grisaia VN instead XD.

Speaking about Grisaia VN, got a question to ask regarding route
+ Show Spoiler +

I finally reach first choice after eternity (Helping Sachi in town) and being a sucker for spoiler, I went to read what choice lead to what route. Apparently everyone's route has "help Sachi" as their first choice. But I want to choose "not helping Sachi" T_T will it affect the ending like may be I will end up with nobody ending? I know it's a VN and not really a dating sim game, but still

The first few choices won't make a difference until you get a Makina choice about money

+ Show Spoiler +
Eventually Sachi will play a game with you if you doj the other routes
And then you choose compliment her cause she is best girl.
