Why aren't Atelier games on Steam? We are getting all other Koei Tecmo titles. It just doesn't make sense.
>>
>>335816159
Because they sell on consoles. Only games that are failing on consoles get PC ports.
>>
>>335816254
But isn't Dinasty Warriors the best selling Koei Tecmo IP and it's on Steam.
>>
>>335816496
Only because it has over 40 games out. Atelier Sophie is the best-selling game in the series. Why would they ruin that by making it easily piratable?
>>
>>335816607
But other JRPGs are selling well on PC. Valkyria Chronicles for example sold 400k. I think it wouldn't hurt them nothing to port Atelier to PC.
>>
>>335817074
> Valkyria Chronicles for example sold 400k
Because it was on sale for a dollar.
> I think it wouldn't hurt them nothing to port Atelier to PC.
It would cost time and money they could use to make another Atelier game. There's no reason for a PC port unless the developer is running out of funds to develop a new game instead.

>>335816159
It's a Gust title, KT only publishes it.
>>
Oh look it's one of these threads again.
>>
>>335817210
KT owns Gust anon.
>>
>>335817207
You are to cruel annon. Why don't you want for PCfags to have the opportunity to enjoy Atelier to.
>>
>>335818362
>Why don't you want for PCfags to have the opportunity to enjoy Atelier to.
Because it wastes time they could spend making another game. Why should PCfags not just buy a PS3 or a Vita TV already?
>>
>>335817207
Valkyria Chronicles never went under 9.99 even on sale and half of the sale (around 200k) were when it first hit at full price, and when you take into consideration that games on Steam earn much more than retail console releases (70% of price compared to 30% at retails) they are profitable and Atelier would also be profitable.
>>
>>335818845
Valkryia Chronicles was in a humble bundle. It was 1$ for a week.
>>
>>335819000
It wasn't in the dollar tier bud.
>>
>>335819436
What difference does it make? All the money goes to charity regardless. Why do you think they announced a new one and then made it PS4 exclusive?
>>
>>335819628
Not him, but maybe to make people double dip?
>>
>>335816159
Because KT have done nothing but severely mismanage Gust's games in the west ever since they acquired them. Even NISA would have done a better job with them, and that's fucking depressing.
It's for the better anyway since KT's PC ports have all been absolute garbage.
>>
>>335816159
I really hope one day we will see Atelier games on pc.
>>
>>335822482
It's called emulation.
>>
>>335822482
That too, the thing is to be able to play them on pc.
>>
>>335818845
>never went under 9.99

This is a lie. VC has gone for $5 many times.

>>335819628
It does make a difference you fucking goalpost moving shitter.
>>
>>335823675
The rest of the series isn't coming to PC. What difference does it make exactly?
>>
>>335816159
There's only one good Atelier game and it's not even out in the west yet
>>
Wake me up when KT release Toukiden 2 on Steam.

Totori is cute! CUTE!

That's one short skirt.

It's a leotard so it's okay.

Didn't we have these like every 2 hours?
>>
>>335816159
Gust is to KT what Atlus is to Sega: as long as they do well, they can do anything they want so if they say no to KT it's no.
Also Gust seems to hate PC for some reason so it is very unlikely we'll see port from them.

>>335825006
Totori so lewd~

>>
>>335816159
Just buy a fucking PS3 or a Vita TV. They're both cheap as fuck and have access to 5-6 of the games already.
>>
with their track record for pc ports I don't think I even want one at this point
