Fortunately or unfortunately, console and PC pricing usually works differently from one another.
Not to mention Steam digital is a little different than a physical limited edition, which S;G initially was. Not sure how the SE release did, though.
Stretch goal for "another gaming platform". Which one?
I sent a question, so hopefully we'll get an answer soon. I'll report back when I find out.
Edit: Grisaia KS Update: Physical Goods Shipment
Edit 2: Here's my answer, top part cut because my real name is in it:

I see wallscrolls and nudie pillows. I hope the first disc+ box and/or soundtracks are included :x
Steins Gate Vita was discounted for Plus users on the 1st week of Nov, 3 months after it's release date, August 25. If it's discounted again for the annual PSN new year sale, will it be due to PSN sales being very good or the opposite?
I remember a PQube employee mentioning that Steins;Gate Vita outsold Minecraft Vita during some period of time and that they were pretty happy about it.
More sales = more discounts. I support this way of thinking.
I know i am not buying non-PS3 exclusive games. PS4 should take the spotlight.
Question: Did anyone here back Fault-Milestone One?
I was going through my codes with Backerkit and noticed that there was the first code I got, which was the full game (not the alpha/beta or anything) and one titled "normal steam key". Going back in my email records, there was something about text being fixed or something, was this what they were talking about, essentially a fixed version of the game?

That was a close one. I've never seen Sekai Project have to pull all shout-outs and even mentions from other Kickstarters and publishers just to get a project funded.
Premise sounds interesting, I've always loved space travel stuff, but going by the fact that they keep mentioning how everyone is courtable, this is probably not a VN for me
So glad Narcissu got funded and a free shikishi is also a nice gift to add onto everything 
Hopefully it won't take TOO long to get the physical stuffs.
Also, SP opened up their new forums all fresh and new, with apparently nothing transferred over due to the move. Still a much, much better format (although I'm still confused as to why someone's Nekopara topic got moved to the general VN discussion but whatever).

I think this info needs to be spread around more (regarding streaming Clannad) - http://steamcommunity.com/app/324160/discussions/0/485622866452750480/#p1

Clannad's actually in the top 5 on the Steam chart.
Pretty sure this isn't a decision on SP's end.

It's a pretty standard policy for VNs streaming anyway, MangaGamer uses similar restrictions, though I think they let you do more than 3 hours.
Edit:
These are actually some serious issues, especially for something as simple as a visual novel.

I guess this wouldn't really apply to builtin Steam streaming. I bet a lot of people won't give a shit and do it anyways.
Also,
$22.6 here.
Not a bad price at all. Shame I'm penniless right now (had to pay some things this month) :lol
EDIT:
I'm more than surprised to see it so high up there.

Clannad is ranked #2 only behind Fallout now.

Well I see I could very well be wrong about thinking that a VN at this price wouldn't sell. It's actually held a decent spot in the topseller list for most of the day so far.

Well it's on sale and is apparently quite cheaper than 50 USD in some regions, so the price discussion was made pretty moot anyway.
Edit: Someone did a translation comparison between the opening of the fan TL and SP TL of Clannad. It's improved, yay for less passive voice.

Do the Steam keys from the Kickstarter count towards the ranking?
Basileus777

No, the Steam ranking is a revenue based one. Keys from outside sources aren't counted, they couldn't be as they aren't contributing any money to Valve.
I'm looking at the steam achievements page and it says 1 in 100 people have completed all of clannad already (that would be testers I guess), so I'm wondering how much of Clannad's sales ranking is "literally no one is buying anything right now because of a big sale coming in 2-3 days". But that can also be slow to update sometimes, a better measure would probably be checking that again tomorrow
The first week discount makes it an enticing price point after all. It's 40 with the discount here.

Key for vn steam game that I have no use for.

Wow, I'm actually looking forward to reading this now.
I'll wait for steamspy to update before I deliver the verdict, but it looks like the people who said it wouldn't sell will be eating some crow.

It seems to be a significant improvement.
Nah, they cut the price, so we'll never know. But it probably would have done fine at 50 USD.
Sure, but keep in mind that we were talking about a $50 pricepoint, not a good price conversion that has the price range between 20$ to 40$ also thanks to the first week discount.
I see what you did there
Doubly so >.>
Speaking of which, there is/was an IndieGala VN bundle being sold rigth now, but just at a glance nothing grabbed my attention.
I didn't mention it here earlier because it's the first visual novel bundle that doesn't have anything noteworthy, IMO.

Well, they mentioned the Vita again.
Well it does have Momodora III, which, though not a VN, is pretty good.
It's $19 for me in Malaysia. Hurray for my lousy currency..
Glad everyone is enjoying CLANNAD so far! We been spending 23 hour work days pretty much for 2 weeks now to get everything ready for CLANNAD and other projects. You'd be surprised how many different ways I found to comfortably create a pillow space on my work desk.
Now back to Narcissu and some sort of unicorn handheld related endeavor which people claim doesn't exist.

Ohmygad ohmygad, Moonlight game streaming has been officially released on iOS. The time has come for me to finally play VN comfily in bed. Glory !
Of course that's the theory and the damn thing will work for five minutes and never again. I know that. I'm savoring the joy, too afraid to launch the thing.
Edit : oh my, first post, sorry for the relatively uninteresting news it contains :X
