Epic sucks ass, I'll not use that plattform even for Ocean. So I guess I'll have to wait for GOG.So German users can probably get it off Epic - I don't know if Epic has geoblocking, but it's already a 16+ rating there, so there should be no issues. I'm guessing the same will happen with Gog - Steam seem to have shot themselves in the foot - I mean, one or twenty rendered boobs that aren't being fondled is pretty much the same. At least the wait is almost over
The long-standing fans of Ocean's games well understand the chances of the games being completed in any reasonable time frame, if at all (at least Ocean is upfront about these things). This thread contains hundreds of reminders of the 30 chapter thing as if it's some kind of new or forgotten revelation.
Playing AVNs like SG or WIAB is just a form of entertainment, much like watching a TV show.
There is never any guarantee a seasonal, story-arc driven TV show will ever be completed either. That doesn't stop me watching them and I prefer not to spend time fretting about annual seasonal renewals.
Right now, the Ocean ship is sailing full steam (pardon the pun) ahead, and it has been for five plus years. Until something changes that, I'll continue playing his games one update at a time and enjoyed them immensely.

Steam does not determine by IP, but by the country in which the card was issued
I'm planning on enjoying Summers Gone for as long as Ocean is willing to tell these stories.
If I get 5 chapters of SG, I'm good.
If I get 10 chapters of SG, I'm good.
If I get 20 chapters of SG, I'm good.
...
While I enjoy these stories, I also get adds to my SG music playlists that are, IMO, top tier.
I'm here to enjoy this story for the duration and every chapter and song adds to my enjoyment of the journey.
Heck - I am still waiting for a certain someone to complete the next book in the A Song of Fire and Ice series.
Patience has its rewards.
Sometimes it pans out and sometimes not - that is RL.
Even if that certain author never delivers on the next book, my enjoyment for everything he Did write is not diminished.
It is the same for Summers Gone.
The Steam rev will land when it lands.
We'll get S2 chapters when they are ready.
While I wait, I will continue to enjoy what I Do have of Summers Gone.
I can live with that!
Cheers!!

I would like to add my thoughts to your post.
What do we have here: a game of unprecedented quality. Start with the pictures. The debate as to whether the images are in 4k quality or Full HD is a mystery to me. To me they are just: WOW! It is a pleasure to look at them.
Now about the animated images: For me they have a cinematic quality that I have never seen in any VN I have played. The fact that I haven't swallowed a fly so far is nothing short of a miracle. Just crazy!!!
Finally, I come to the dialogues: They are so perfectly knitted that it seems to me that they are written in the best Alfred Hitchcock style. The developer and therefore Ocean only reveal as much information about the story as is absolutely necessary. This information is hidden so cleverly that at times I feel like Sherlock Holmes. It's impossible to capture everything in one sitting. One is forced to go through a particular path several times in order to understand even the smallest nuances.
Conclusion: It is too obvious what the developer and Ocean want with this: With this redesign they are setting the bar so high that all current and subsequent VNs with SG and/or WiaB have to be measured. No comparison to their predecessors (at least from what I saw here and in the sister thread). For me, these are not just worlds apart, but entire galaxies.
I'm still amazed at what I see here and am really looking forward to future updates.

My gut tells me Ocean just wants it out at this point. I know, my gut's a weirdo
I mean, feasibly he could rerender ~200 images and get the ~1.5% nudity under control, but at this point, it would be gutting his intention without any guarantee that it'd still pass. Things like Vanessa's cinematic would make no sense for example. I think he's rolled the dice, made his play and will just push forward.
....I bet it was Nika's nipples that pushed the rating over, that darn pump!

you know what's Ironic , Ocean took out a few scenes out of the game because of genitalia to avoid a 18+ rating and Oceans ended up getting the 18+ rating anyway , hindsight 20/20 , we could've avoid all the drama about those scenes being cut from the game if Oceans knew that 18+ rating wasn't avoidable .My gut tells me Ocean just wants it out at this point.

This is the weird thing, it's still 16+, but they're treating it as 18+ on the basis of the number of renders of boobs. But it's not rated 18+. I think they're concerned he's going to upload a DLC of noodz
It's more than just the rating. Ocean would've lost a bunch of licensed music already in the game had he kept the lewd stuff, regardless of the rating. For the sake of keeping the music, he ditched a couple of dick pics, a vagina pic, and some booby pics.

This is probably the biggest issue really, keeping the music means he didn't have to rework the cinematics especially. I guess we hope that it's 16+ doesn't breach the terms they changed on him.
unfortunately, you will be disappointed . because when steam version of SG got bad sell ,
there will have a long and torturous discarding process.

The funny thing is that in a few months the music license that Ocean took for 1 year will expire, and then none of this will make sense. Moreover, in season 2 there will be porn scenes, which means that he will lose this music in any case.

I did...and?Imagine that you are the one who chose to wait for the full version of ch.5 and six months later you still waiting
My life is not so sad and pathetic that it revolves around VN release dates (or any media for that matter).. It releases when it releases and even then, I doubt I'll get around to it till the following weekend anyway.
How much will it cost on Steam? Does this kind of games have regional prices? Who decides them?
