For example, in Crusader Kings 2, a game from Paradox which is set in medieval Europe you can't marry your children, you can only promise them to be married in the future exactly because they were afraid of making too much controversy.

What a load of crap. This totally breaks all of the attempts to be realistic, historically accurate and all that, just because some crook may get offended. Same goes with Hearts of Iron 3 and lack of svastikas. (but it's obviously ok to show hammer & sickle for some messed up reason)

I can understand why you're not fond of teenagers marrying in real life, but it's just a game, and children there aren't even a represtentation of a real person, they are totally made up.

If anything, it would make much more sense if children were sold as sex slaves to some deviates in Fallout universe, child prostitutes and all.

I can't understand why literature can cover such delicate subjects without much trouble (well, except for Lolita scandal, but that was stupid too), and games cannot. Maybe it's because hardly anybody is reading books nowadays.

Nobody makes a great deal out of Sansa Stark or Daenerys Targaryen in GOT even though in books even Danny is only a teenager and has sex on multiple occasions with her Khal. The amount of heat video games are getting every time they even slightly touch a delicate subject amazes me.

I know. What's more, keeveek knows that I know, because Judas set the record straight in that thread. keeveek is just (for some weird reason of his own) very insistent on trying to restart a conflict that was resolved long ago.
If you happen to like that sort of game, which I don't. But I do hope the people who do buy it and enjoy it ;-)

The current consensus on visual novels is that people improperly label this entire way of telling stories as eroge. Yes, there are games in the visual novel framework that are 18+, but there are still a TON of other all-ages titles that do NOT have that content. Those are the kinds of games I'd like to see make it to GOG.com.

Like others have mentioned, games like Steins:gate, Ever 17, and Aselia the Eternal are all examples of Japanese-made VN titles that DO NOT have the 18+ content that people consistently complain about on here.

Yes these games are few and far between when it comes to the English market, but that market can only grow if people realize what these games offer and how they are DIFFERENT than the 18+ titles. The only way this can happen is if these all-ages titles are made widely available to people so that that perception can begin to change.

There's a reason why people enjoy games like Narcissu 1+2 (for tragic stories), Steins;gate (for its thriller/science fiction story), and people STILL talk about Ever17 with fond memories (even though it's been out of print and not legally available anywhere for so long).

We shouldn't need to see a large selection of visual novels to have the CURRENTLY available classics of the genre. This is why in a perfect world I hope to see games like Narcissu 1+2, Steins;gate and Ever17 available here on GOG.com eventually. Some might argue that these are not "games", but great VNs are definitely great experiences that need to be made more available.

Might as well start somewhere: see Narcissu 1+2. The company that made it gave permission to Sekai Project (a fan translation group) to try and get their game on Steam and other digital distribution platforms for free to see if there is any interest in getting more all-ages VNs available in the West. While Japanese devs of visual novels recognize the West as a difficult or "impossible" market to crack, more and more Japanese devs are trying to get their work recognized over here as well - even if it's a niche.

I mean, just looking at the console market, Aksys Games are going to be localizing and releasing a PS3 visual novel. That just shows you how much has changed with visual novels over the last couple years.

I definitely want to see VNs here. I want to see Cinders and Solstice here. If people don't like VNs they shouldn't buy them but allow us, few fans, to buy them.

Agreed, they can be a different but very enjoyable nonetheless experience and it's a pity they're misjudged in the west.

The Visual Novel Database is a great place to check out all sorts of VNs - lots of tags to search by.
Here's a listing in alphabetical order with the ones without sexual content.
Who knows, you might find something interesting in there.
