SoM was sold at a PC game shop for the first a few years.
It seems that the shop still had stock till in 2005.
I think It seems that however, there were not many buyers.
that most owners bought SoM in the time.
Although people with PC began to increase in number in Japan around in 2000,
it had not spread through ordinary homes yet.
All KF fans were PlayStation users, and the PC user was rare.
Even if someone had PC, it was the low spec PC for office work mostly.
(2MB VGA etc...)
All the owners of the high spec PC were only playing EROGE.
Therefore, SoM did not sell much in Japan.
Maybe FROM-SOFTWARE abolished the development section of PC game, because SoM did not sell.
I thinks that it is a reason that even the extremely simple bug is not revised.
SoM which can be purchased at FROM-SOFTWARE is the dead stock which was not able to be got order.
They want to part with the stock, but do not intend to support it.
"Selling only to the person who understood the situation" is their intention.
