Personally I don’t consider those niche fetish eroge games to be part of “Japanese gaming” in the same way that I don’t consider incest porn when I’m thinking about American cinema.
Like yeah, I get it, it’s technically a game from Japan so it’s a Japanese game. But it’s so removed from what is considered mainstream gaming that it’s porn first and game second
