This is exactly the worst case scenario I worried about. It was always going to be difficult to justify the third route, and I thought it was best to drop it entirely and move on to the next update. But, if Stoper didn't do that, then the update needed to be out quickly. But I always assumed that, if he did keep the route, there would be sexy content. But to hear that he kept it and there isn't sexy content? Wow, that was unexpected.
I could go on at length about the decision to spend additional time on a route that will be sexless, but it isn't worth it. I'll just say this, no matter what, it is time to finish this update and move on. I think even the biggest defender of Stoper would agree that this has been a disaster. The damage is done, just put a bow on this and move on. Nothing can save this update, but there next update has to be a homerun.
