SEGA explains why he brought Yakuza 0 to PC

If you do not live under a rock, you have surely noticed the multiplication of the most successful Japanese titles on Steam. Moving from different Final Fantasy to Nier, from Yakuza to Shenmue, and many other less famous, there is no doubt that Japan is considering more and more the PC platform.

Growth that did not go unnoticed at SEGA that SEGA Europe Executive Vice President John Clark commented in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz

He told how, during over the last 18 months, the Japanese market has developed on PC like never before, also thanks to the support of the video game which has gradually become a social entity.

Apparently "harmless" things like the list of friends, for example, have much more power than you can imagine and can discover titles through word-of-mouth or simple fact that the friends of their list play a title that has never been heard before.

In any case, as Clark continued, this growth was the cintilla that allowed SEGA to be interested in porting the Yakuza series, along with Yakuza 0, on PC . As this series is extremely "Eastern", SEGA has no interest in modifying it in the gameplay just to satisfy users in the West, but thanks to the growth of Japanese IP on Steam, she saw her own niche market in which you can insert.
