Question about supporting the industry
0
Hello, I'm new to Fakku. Recently, I have become very interested in the Visual Novel genre and wish to do whatever I can to support the industry. A few weeks ago, my friend allowed me to borrow her copy of Song of Saya/Saya no Uta and I love the game so far. So I was looking into buying a copy for myself and I was able to find it for around $24 on Amazon sold through Fakku but I found it at an even better price for around $20 by someone on Ebay. Both distributors are selling new copies but I'm just worried that if I buy the cheaper game by the independent seller on Ebay that my money won't be going to support the developers of the game and the company who translated it into English. So I just wanted to get some opinions, if a buyer like me is more concerned about supporting the industry rather than getting a good deal, is it best to just avoid Ebay and focus on buying from sites such as Fakku and MangaGamer? Thank you for your time.

If it's a new copy, then either way it was bought from the developer and then sold by a middle-man, the devs should have already gotten their money. It's just a matter of what middle-man you want to support after that. If you want to support Fakku you'll probably be giving them a bigger cut if you order from the web store here instead of Amazon though.

Thank you for the response, in the end I decided to purchase Saya no Uta from Rightstuf though as they had a low price and I have a 10% discount membership with them. ^_^ Thank you for the knowledge about Ebay though, I'll make sure that I buy only new stuff from them that way the original creators of the product will still receive some of my cash in a way. :)
