Well, but the anime would spoil the visual novel as well. The question is, which medium is the better experience. For example with Higurashi and Umineko, the visual novel is better than the anime so watching the anime first would worsen the experience of the visual novel.

In the case of Stein;Gate, the anime is an absolute masterpiece though, so I guess it would really be better to watch the anime before playing the visual novel.
