Could you fap to a R07-drawn eroge?

Dear 07th Expansion

Hands do not look like that, you barely even changed it in Umineko.

That is all.

MangaGamer's Justification of their rip off pricing.

>Yes, believe it or not, 19.95 Euros per chapter is actually a fair price for the cost involved. The answer arcs are each considerably longer than any of the individual question arcs. For example, Meakashi covers the events in both Watanagashi and all the events of the year before which surrounded Satoshi. Likewise, with each answer arc, not only are the events of the original question arc touched upon, but the events which took place in the shadows behind them are also revealed as well, and different endings then unfold as well. So each answer arc is in fact longer than than each question arc. Lastly, not only do the licensing fees and other costs have to be paid, but the translators, editors, and proofreaders also must be paid for their work.

>The only reason you can find the Japanese version of Higurashi for 2100円 with all of the answer arcs packaged together now, is because the game has already sold dramatically well in Japan, with PS2 ports, Drama CDs, Figures, and the DS ports all bringing in enough money that the author can afford to lower the price.

>For those with complaints about the price per chapter, please allow me to put things in perspective for you.

>The original version of Higurashi was sold at 2100円 (~17 Euros or ~$23) per chapter over the course of four years. By the time it was finished, customers had paid 16,800円 (~133 Euros or ~$185) for the series.

>We are offering the answer arcs for 19.95 Euros (~$27 or ~2500円)each, and the question arcs at 36.95 Euros (~$51 or ~4600円）for a total of 116.75 Euros (~$162 or ~14,700円).

So, who's release is better, the Twins, or MangaGamer?
