I've noticed a glaring issue with this one and I want to point it out. First off, I don't care that there is a crack or patch for the game to activate it. This is a practice that I thought was long dead and should not return. The very fact that one has to register or verify the game online is a serious problem for me. Having played many games in the eastern as well as the western scene, I can say that for the most part the adult gaming scene has been free of DRM. Summertime Saga is a free download and it is the most popular adult game on Patreon right now. Additionally, Being A DIK is available in a DRM-Free GOG version with only a strategy guide as an optional DLC addon. Nothing I'm truly upset about. But what they don't do is have a big red glaring button telling me "not activated" and that I'm missing out on things after I've downloaded the game. I have to take extra time just to connect to the internet so that I can get this extremely long code to put in so that I can unlock some extra scenes. That to me, is a hassle. I do not have regular internet as some people in rural areas don't. It's never been an issue as I would either buy my games DRM-Free from GOG or itch, Jast USA/MangaGamer, etc for the Japanese stuff. None of these sites have ever required an online activation code or told me I was a bad guy because I didn't jump online and register it. If you don't know much about the GOG community, people get bent out of shape at even a hint of DRM in the games they feature, and as I said, many of these games are now there on GOG with more to come.
The point is, we shouldn't be promoting or supporting this kind of behavior in the western adult gaming scene. When the biggest and most successful adult games have no need for this kind of DRM (and it is considered DRM if features in the game must be activated online) there's simply no need for this when it comes to smaller games as well. I personally can't support this game just because of the implemented DRM. This is the first one I've seen with DRM implementation as far as the AVN scene goes so I'm going to speak out about it. Online activation is not something I want to see come to these games, even if it's just one CG scene. Doesn't matter to me. It is truly unfortunate to see the practice of DRMMed content coming to AVN's. Until this is removed, I can't recommend supporting this game, nor any from the developer where such DRM is present.
