![]() ![]() It's only logical that Sega wants to make PC releases part of its normal operations, reaching a broader market and offering fans more options. Sega, meanwhile, definitely wants to give the PC market access to Lost Judgment. Recently Sega has shown an increasing eagerness to make its games available on Steam for instance, the Yakuza franchise is broadly available on Steam, including the critically acclaimed Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Sega's desire for PC releases is further proven by Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Strikers , which both got recent, successful releases on PC. Johnny's historically avoids letting information and images of talent like Kimura surface online from venues other than itself, and it seems that Lost Judgment's plight comes from the same desire for distance from the Internet. Johnny's manages several popular Japanese boy bands, including the now-disbanded SMAP, which Kimura was once a member of. In fact, the agency was exceedingly late to join social media and websites like YouTube, despite representing a ton of Japanese stars. Lost Judgment isn't the first time that Johnny's showed an aversion to interacting with the Internet. ![]() RELATED: Lost Judgment Looks Like an Action-Packed Ace Attorney, and That's Great The Lost Judgment Dispute Not only does Johnny's want to keep Lost Judgment off PC, but the inability to come to an agreement might mean that Sega abandons the franchise altogether. Johnny's represents Takuya Kimura, a beloved Japanese actor who plays Takayuki Yagami in the Judgment series, and famously restricts appearances of its clients on the Internet. Now, rumors have surfaced that Sega and Japanese talent agency Johnny's are in a dispute about whether or not Lost Judgment should release on PC. Signs once suggested that Sega planned to put Lost Judgment on PC via Steam, but any sign of that version disappeared a long time ago. In fact, the Judgment franchise might come to an end due to a dispute over whether or not to release it on PC. Lost Judgment is the sequel to 2018's Judgment, which first introduced fans to private detective Takayuki Yagami. The sequel releases for several consoles in just a few months, but notably, it doesn't look like it's coming to PC. In a new trailer, developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and publisher Sega explored the blend of stealth, crime-solving, and action that set Lost Judgment apart from the Yakuza franchise that it spun off of. Lost Judgment recently got a significant spotlight at Sony's July State of Play.
