It's a tough line to walk. I agree with you that money is to easy but if you look through this thread you see people screaming there's to much 'grind'. Will is trying to put more things to spend money on in each release and upping the payments Ryan has to fork up so there is that at least.I don't have a lot of problems with depraved, fucked up and maybe dark content for the most part (though I'd draw a line at stuff like physical torture/violence) specifically around humiliation coming from the mob guys as punishment for the player not having the money but IMO maybe money should be harder to acquire without cheats if it can be balanced to where you're not completely dedicated to it at the loss of other content though on the other hand just enough to make you need to decide because the what happens to them progresses with each missed payment.
"To much grind". No clue what they're on about. Once a day you go the the warehouse. Then later if you want, once a day advertise on the website. That's it.
Stat grinding is great in this game because most events (photo shoots) that require it have new stuff to show you each time you play the event. Did you know when you peep on girls when they masturbate in their rooms, what they are fantasizing about changes as the story changes? Ya, something new if you revisit events you've already played. Jackie starts out just thinking about how her husband got her into anal and now she can't cum without some butt play to thinking about Ryan more and more as she gets herself off. After Cami shows up she starts fantasizing about Ryan fucking her.
