this kinda stuff really pisses me off though. the folks at 4LS spent years making this wonderful game and released it for FREE.

When I click the link, it says it's down. Was the item a Shizune/Rin dakimakura? If so, you can just search of "Katawa Shoujo" and it'll pop up, same seller and all.

I actually saw this a few weeks ago when browsing for art books, and I happened to search for "Katawa Shoujo" out of curiosity.

I agree. As I said in another thread, official merchandise would be amazing. Bootleg.. Not so much.

The devs don't mind as long as it doesn't pretend to be official.

It seems it´s down now. The only KS product on Ebay right now is a homemade dakimakura.

We hand these off to Pimmy - the original artist. They seem to reappear every now and then. PMd her, and thanks.

So yeah, this guy is basically selling KS in a box, claiming it's all brand new and official :/

Reported. Thanks for the information, but please don't post links to illegal material on the forums, since it only gives them more visibility. Use our email instead.
