Recent VN Regulations and Restrictions

Ok well, time to spill forth and collect the news that have been affecting a certain sect of the Visual Novel industry. To be specific, it's the eroge industry. Now for most of you, you probably won't give a damn, and don't really care, so you don't really need to read this. But it is quite interesting to read anyways.

The beginning came from this article on Canned Dogs.
"TBS news reports that all rape games will be banned from sale or production in Japan. It has been decided. It is estimated that this particular genre takes up about 10% to 20% of the entire industry but the PC software independent review committee has made the decision to ban all these games."
To sum it up for you, it wants to ban rape games. Simple, right?
