Sekirara in this case is an eroge company that also made Cat Girl Alliance, Secret Wives' Club, Cosplay Fetish Academy, Come See Me Tonight 1 & 2, and others.

Hm, I wonder how soon after it's release, that we can expect an english translation patch (unless it comes with that option, which I highly doubt).

Btw, 2800yen for the limited edition figma (wonder if it covers the whole gals or just each of them)? That's pretty cheap compared to Saber Lily and Spiral Chaos (Queen's Blade PSP)..

Now if only I know where can I buy these limited edition along with Nozomi and Mana...

Hell fucking yeah.
I have to admit, a rather interesting marketing strategy. Give away free games to garner interest in their works, and next time they release something people will clamor to buy it.
Also, I'm willing to bet there'll be plenty who buy the game, if only for the figurine included with it.

Yes, all five girls get a figma, plus that long magenta-haired girl, too, in one of the CGs. I believe the figma bundled with the limited edition will be Aya (blond girl) in a night shirt.

so they'll just mostly profit on the other merchandises instead of the actually game, then again even if it's distributed for free, that still wont stop otaku's from buying the limited edition especially with a figurine figma

interesting...

If nothing else, this is a great move to get a huge amount of exposure for the company. Hopefully that will mean their next release will be really big. That being said, the side-market of merchandise for big games like this is huge, so I'm sure they have an angle in that as well...

Looks like Max Factory is trying to diversify their portfolios and branch into the eroge market. But I gotta say the figures for this game aren't really up to par with their offers. Hopefully things will work out for them.

the other ero-ge companies will probably be up in arms over this. MaxFactory might be ruining the entire market with this new system of sales as they are capable (by virtue of being a figure manufacturer) to profit by the (estimated) large increase in figure which acts as a compensation for the loss in revenue due to working on the ero-ge as well as selling it for a price.

By distributing this ero-ge for free online, they can ensure that as many people who do not get access to ANY eroge in the past can get access to this one. With figures distribution channels already being secured (otacute/amiami/hlj/hobbysearch etc etc), they can basically enjoy a large surge in sales.

What this means for other ero-ge companies is that their only and primary source of revenue is being diminished and probably taken over by a new entry to the market. What this means for diversity and an healthy competition in the market is pretty damning as basically there is competition on un-even ground now.

Very smart move to garner attention for the game. As to whether it would be noticed or not if it wasn't free, well, who knows. "just another eroge" type games often amaze me by getting followings (for the characters), and later, anime series.

it's Japan, where otakus will buy virtually anything else the company sells in the market, especially those with "limited" or "special edition" or "collector items" tag with it (in a bulk even).

the games were free so many people will try, hopefully madly in love with it, and buy anything the company throws at them.

they already starts with figma, and if the popularity can reach the level of Clannad/K-on/Haruhi, fans will buy even the developers urine if it's named, packed and marketed well.

It's my opinion that it depends on what type of characters they have in the game. I'm guessing they have a lot of confidence that the characters will endear themselves to otaku well enough to bring about the scenario you mention.

Legally free and just "free" are two completely different things, like Darkrockslizer said, this is good advertising, I'm pretty sure they'll also be accepting donations, like some music authors have been doing for a while now.

Well, they're making figma of the heroines. And as I'm sure you all know, figma sell really well and make alot of money. So honestly it's no surprise that this is free.
But it could also be said that MaxFac is just that kickass.

A company can take issue over the nature of the content their brands are associated with, is the only problem.
If they have no problem with it, sure, it's free advertising.

There's a Back to the Future poster in one of the shots as well, pretty sure they wont be getting paid for that.

Looks like they just chose to use real world references for immersion rather than inventing brands. People don't normally do that for fear of legal trouble, but they're unlikely to get sued or anything. Why sue someone that's advertising your stuff for free? :)

Since you managed to mention a 'marketing approach': can you spot the Pepsi insert?

As far as I remember, this approach didn't work for MMO's (CoH, MO), however I am not in a position to judge whether or not it worked for the Pizza Hut anime :>
