A bit sad to see Tech Arts go, but at least it had a good 21-year run with many fun titles under their domain.

There's a few more known brands in there such as OLE and OLE-M. The market is a mess and with mobile eating into their profits, it's even worse, there are many F2P mobile and browser eroge from DMM for example.
