    100% this is just cover for them wanting to have a monopoly on the sexy content of their characters. Cause the main appeal of these games seems to be how sexy the characters are so if you could go to some other website and look at them there instead then you wouldn’t need to buy the game.

    They publish games that focus heavily on getting new swimsuits for their “daughters”. What did they expect to happen?

    From the same series that has two volleyball games.

    With a focus on “social” gifting including skimpier swimwear and suggestive posing.

    With a story that revolves around a rich pervert wanting a bunch of young girls in bikinis running around.

    Maybe don’t insist your daughters dress like that then…

    Be like the guy who designed Lara Croft, who left the company when they made all the marketing for the game all “phwoar, look at that eh, fellas!”

    You can’t just have principles when it suits you.

      The “parents” released two games called “Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball” (1 and 2) where they were in skimpy swimsuits and they literally had a team of developers that focused on “jiggle physics” to make sure their breasts bounced as accurately as possible. Nice way to treat your “daughters”.

      On a side note, content aside, those were actually good games and it wasn’t like they were going pure ecchi, the volleyball portion and side games worked pretty well.

        Don’t forget the multiple modes and features that put the “physics” front and center. If I recall right from old reviews, the analog stick calibration and testing “feature” is two girls trying to balance on pool floats while you tip the floats around with the sticks, with the camera putting the jiggle front and center.

      With jiggle physics. I remember laughing so hard when played the original on Dreamcast.
