Until they actually have a store or store or a patch it means nothing. Also the problem who would they work with for the uncut version and patch, They don't won't to work with MG that's why they wemt to self publish to begin with,
JAST won't deal with them since they have sn anti-mosaic policy for their store and also the game has a really young loli character that shows up towards the middle of the game that is clearly underage (JAST has had problem with lolis that young in past, for example Shiny Days and Schattan both had scenes removed)
Sekai Project, is an option but has really high cost for thrid-partys to use their store and isn't worth it
Fakku is their best option but after what happened when they worked with Sekai on Maitetsu and who badly Sekai fucked up on it, Fakku might not won't to deal with anyone on a co-project again.
Why couldn't they work with Mangagamer? Just because they're self-publishing doesn't mean that it's impossible to release it on their platform. Unless there's proof of bad blood between them then they could still work something out. Business is business. It's not like Mangagamer was going to finish Evenicle 2 in the next 3 years with all the Rance games they have.
They could also try to release it on Denpasoft, but I have no idea what policies and costs they have.
Just because one publisher fucked up with Fakku doesn't mean they'd simply cast aside other publishers, otherwise Frontwing, Kagura Games and Cherry Kiss wouldn't be on there.
Regardless, it simply seems people are already concluding this to be a censored product when the only reason they took out that one scene was because they didn't want Valve hovering over their heads for good reason. Steam is by far the biggest distribution pc platform and they wanted as much feedback as possible, even if it meant being cautious about Valve's ever-changing policies on adult games.
Either way, I said to keep expectations low and I am. I'm also not interested in a censored product regardless if it has some fetishes I'm not interested in.
