Let's hope this doesn't mean the end of their 18+ titles on marketplaces.

This isn't really a concern because I don't think any of those titles are being actively sold right now to begin with, except maybe White Album 2...
Leaf as a brand ended activity years ago, and the only way to get most of their old titles is secondhand.

To Heart 2 is still sold. Although now that I think about it, I haven't seen anything else.

Aquaplus delisted all of their 18+ titles (in other words, everything under the "Leaf" label) except for White Album 2 a few years ago. As far as I'm aware, the only version of To Heart 2 that's still being sold is the PS3 version, unless you know of another site where they're selling their games digitally other than DMM.

Aquaplus has also been moving away from producing 18+ titles for over a decade now, so I wouldn't be surprised if WA2 eventually gets delisted, too; it's probably only still up because it's still selling well.

I was always a fan of their 18+ titles, but those titles are still great, evwn without the 18+ content, so it's not the end of the world. Nonetheless, any type of merger is worrying to me. Here's hoping they still produce more Aquaplus content amd don't just retire it.

Yeah, you're right, only the play station version is being sold.
