There already are companies who do that, but the general trend for translated visual novels is that they are usually: old, short, light on story/plot, heavy on ero/H scenes. The truly valuable games like Tsukihime, Fate/stay night, CLANNAD, etc. feature long (you could even say epic) stories that are incredibly deep and complex, with ero/H scenes at a minimal. In the western countries, people buy these translated games with the thought of "hentai games" in mind, which means that's their only selling point. So there is no point for companies to seek out games that costs more to license and takes 100 times longer to translate (sounds about right) when they can achieve the similiar/same sales with mediocre crap eroges.

They are? BUT WHAT WILL THE COMMUNITY EVER DO IF EVEN THE "TRAGIC HEROINE SACCHIN" GAG IS GONE TOO?
