The cause is not development trouble but banking. Shinsei Bank requested documents about international remittances, and after reviewing materials on Takii\u0026#39;s Steam games, including adult titles, it refused deposits. The publisher then tried Japan Post Bank for revenue from non-adult games, but that bank also refused after review.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTakii noted that small deposits from the publisher have not been refused, but game revenue is not arriving. Even a new release would not bring in money until the issue is resolved. Former lawmaker Yoshiyuki Kurishita linked the refusals to stronger anti-money-laundering measures and called the blocking of legal transactions a harmful effect. The game, a non-adult yuri romance adventure, remains scheduled for PC via Steam.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Our Fake Marriage? is delayed because Shinsei Bank and Japan Post Bank refused Steam revenue deposits, even for a non-adult title.
