Honestly, anon, I can't disagree with OP, and I think it has a lot to do with the idea in the west that indie games are "cool" and "obscure", and with these ideas come the stereotypes of every indie game ever. Old-school graphics, platforming, abstract enviroment, simplistic and sometimes supposedly deep plots (see Braid), etc. Somehow, I have this feeling that doujin games have more freedom in terms of the culture that has been built around them. I mean, sure, Touhou fangames are everywhere, but many of them attempt unique ideas, or at least do a decent job in parodying other game styles (that super robo wars touhou game comes into my mind now). Also, the whole deal with horror doujin games that spawned off from Yume Nikki were a really interesting phenomenon.

I thought that was a hit-and-run simulator. It's also more fun to force the kids to properly learn.

Think about it, if you were like 11 and its just after school, would you rather have to go learn some more or get laid?

Theres an entire forum dedicated to torrent links, most aren't seeded and in various conditions of amount of expensions added to it.

And the one and only HTTP download source links to one of those money whoring link shortener ads, into a third website that tries to install a "downloader" for each of the 4 parts.

I get what you mean. Game being officialy dead since 2007 or something also plays a huge role in this.
I believe there are some community mods like the mods which allow you to swap moves or play as boss characters/monsters. Netplay was never finished though.
One day I'd like to finish framedata tables not really useful for playable characters and how leveling AGI stat affects it.

Have fun with the game.

Playing as a monster is fun. Some of their movesets are actually pretty usable, my favorite being Male Thief Bug (the boxing cockroach). The only problem is that if you die the game crashes, and you can't beat stage 2 because you get stuck in one of the cutscenes if you're a non-player character.
