non-game playing otaku: "I don't get it"
game playing otaku: "Play the game"
non-game playing otaku: "OK"

formerly non-game playing otaku: "Now I get it! The game is 100x better!"
Repeat again.

If you think I'm kidding, no I'm not. This how the cycle works here. If you don't get it but still are interested, people will just go to their nearest doujin store and pick up a copy. Added to the fact that each of the copies are rather cheap (chump money), that's how the fandom grows.

Or is it impossible for someone who can't read Japanese?)
