I'd like to see a DRM field in VNDB for every release, because I think it would be very useful in many player's purchasing decisions, so I've opened a thread asking for this feature. If I knew a VN wasn't encumbered by DRM, that would be a green light for me to make the purchase.

If any of you have thoughts on this subject or how it might be implemented, feel free to respond on VNDB.

Yorhel has told me:

If there's a good proposal and some discussion on the forums, I have no problems implementing such a feature.

I’m not sure what this is a contribution to, but sure, feel free to credit me for writing it up, thank you.

I added some information based on your comment to the wiki: https://wiki.comfysnug.space/doku.php?id=visualnovel:buying

Also if you’re looking to buy it I think it’s on sale on GOG right now but I dunno when it’s on sale on itch.

It's on sale on Itch too. Technically it's about 4 cents cheaper on Itch, haha, but I believe the developer gets a bigger cut. Everything from npckc is actually 30% off right now, and you can get all 42 games for $42. Community copies are also a weird and interesting idea.

The two warnings

Ah, okay. The different scenarios under which the warnings appear, and the content of the warnings themselves is quite odd. I'll leave out the note about System Locale as it's something you should be setting for every visual novel anyway, and it's noted on the problems page of our wiki.

Ahh, thanks!

And thanks for telling me about the sale on itch, and reminding me to look at that site. I keep forgetting since itch rarely e-mails me telling me something's on sale.
