Standoffish when making a poorly-regarded decision might work as a Japanese cultural concept, I have no idea, but not really western. The western way is the three "D"s: Divert, Divest, and Diminish. Not only is it someone else's fault, it's also someone else's authority that decided it, and there's no way we could have done anything else.
I am, as many of us here are, a steam "heavy user" by Steam's metrics, that is, I've bought over 100 games.
I have bought games with fewer than 30 reviews, for Steam a fairly unknown element at that point. Unadvertised games. Notoriety for me is not always better than obscurity, as this one is noted as a "pass" from me.
He mentions in his interview that this is more a remake than a port. Ask the Gal Gun devs how to do that: They managed to sell their first title as a full price new offerring by branding it as a remake/remaster of a yet-unreleased-to-the-west product, simultaneously adhering to Steams' anti-Asian racial bias and yet also putting a heavy positive spin on the action. And they kept the original elements.
Selling anything is better than selling nothing, but it sounds like they needed money and time put into the product in order to lol-cow-lize it. I hope they make it back, I know how much Steam's executives and staff hates the Asian races and that it can be hard for them, but I won't be contributing to that ROI.
