So is my toaster oven. Apples and oranges it makes no sense to compare. A step-incest (nudge-nudge, wink-wink) lewd AVN and a violence-focused RPG may have overlap in the young male demographic, but other than that their audiences will be completey different in every way, including how much disposable income they have & are willing to spend on entertainment.
If you got all that from what I said, I’m not sure what to tell you. I wasn’t comparing apples to oranges. I was simply saying that $80 for an adult game is outrageous. Even Being a DIK, which is arguably one of the best in the genre, is just $14 on Steam. So no, I’m not making a comparison. I’m just pointing out that this pricing is absurd.

It doesn't seem to stop them from having tiers with $150 monthly payments...

It's not the final price of the game, it's just one of the support levels. The minimum $5 is the same as BaDIK. So what you're talking about is absurd.

My bad, then. I read it as "gamers pay that much for stuff all the time so $80 is not that surprising."

Yes, I am aware of the support levels. However, the number of people who would pay such an absurd price can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

I'm pretty sure the reason it is $80 it is unfinished build, as it only has the romance bit, not the full episode 15. Some devs do insane high price on betas to hope it doesn't leak and then people bitch about it being broken.

80$ is just wow, do you think others afford in other country? no,
The painful truth is that prices are going up because there are in fact many people who have the disposable income to pay them. It doesn't matter if it's UFC tickets or porn games.

I would think it also could annoy base-tier patrons enough that some of them might pool resources, create a fake profile, then leak the overpriced product. :unsure:

Except there is no Patreon and the dev has a teir of fans that like any other dev gives bonuses to.

Gatekeeping episode 16 since April seems like a dick move imo :(
I don't think that was the developer's intention. After the release for testing, it suddenly went silent on all platforms. Something happened, and most likely not good.

Who have the episode 16 romance can share it here, I'm pretty sure that we will not receive any (good) news from the dev
