So, Fairy Fencer F and Hyperdimension Neptunia are coming to Steam. I dunno nothing about these games, except for Neptunia's reputation for apparently being terrible, but the official announcement made me laugh:

So this is how the Japanese themselves explain the success of their games on Steam.
As previously reported, Idea Factory have applied for both Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth games for PC, and company president Yoshiteru Sato recently announced in Japan’s Dengeki PlayStation magazine that the series is indeed headed to Steam, and will be released in English, too. [Thanks, Zaregoto.]
“We’ve already decided to release the Neptunia series on PC and in English through Steam next year,” said Sato.
“Nowadays, the demand for moé is quite high overseas, so, we must quickly release the main titles,” added Idea Factory business development manager Damien Urvois. “We also plan to release Fairy Fencer F on Steam next year.”
