I can deal with it as long as it ships before my debit card expires in April!

So...is this coming out through Steam, or what?
Not that I heard. I'd prefer it NOT to come out on a DRM platform anyway.

I don't get what the delay is about...I heard they basically bought a fan translation that was already done a long time ago.

I can not say for sure yet, But I would say that it is extremely likely to see it around the same time as higurashi, from what I have heard from people at mangagamer and jast. steam is now interested in getting some japanese visual novels on their site it seems. there is even talk of getting if my heart had wings on steam via jast.

At this point I would find it highly surprising if jast did not get steins; gate on steam along with a couple of other all ages games.

I imagine the delay is mostly due to approval issues (probably with the very amazing bonus items for the limited edition), either that or the corrections to the script are taking longer then expected (just look at ef a tale of the two to see how long that can take.)


I've talked with JAST over Twitter regarding Steam. They've said that they're interested and probably will do it eventually, but right now are focusing on just releasing the game first.


They maybe wondering how the two seconds of nudity with that one charcter coming out of the bath will effect the esrb rating and if they can get away with editing it or if fans would kill them over that like they did to Moenovel and if my heart had wings.


It's already rated M by the ESRB with that scene. Steam allows M-rated games so it should be okay.
