Judgement - Yakuza spin-off series is likely to come to PC

This is not the only good news for fans of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's creations. Everything indicates that we will live to see the PC versions of theJudgement series.

1. The source is ESRB database, the US agency that rates video games.
2. On the organization's website, in the profiles of Judgement and Lost Judgment, there were mentions of PC releases.
3. Of course, until official confirmation, this information should be approached with caution, but these types of leaks from the ESRB very rarely turn out to be wrong.

These reports are a pleasant surprise, since until now it seemed that there was no chance of porting both parts of the series. The reason was conflict with the talent agency Johnny's Associates, which owns Takuya Kimura, who plays the lead role in both parts of the series. This company was blocking PC port of the series. It was speculated that the reason was concerns that fan modifications might damage the actor's good image.

The situation was so bad that Sega threatened to abandon the series, as the PC market is too important for the publisher not to port its biggest games. If the entries in the ESRB database are confirmed, it's likely that this threat had an effect and forced Johnny's Associates to change its approach.
