LOL! Well we both know he can't please everyone
Oh I see why he had an issue with this update besides real-life issues getting in the way... It's concepts that are unplausible being made plausible. In what universe can a goddess like Anna simply gives herself over to the likes of a Marvin? Yes, we can see Anna going for a Chris or Jake... we can see a boss like Hank making Anna his personal plaything and even the neighbor, Robinson munching down on Anna's cookie... Marvin isn't some famous rich guy--just some old broken man with no accomplishments to his name.
In the real world such an Anna/Marvin relationship, Anna would have to have some quirk or disorder. But then the game wouldn't be that good if it was some mental disease as the work around. But an emotional traumatized (Anna's fathers' demands for excellence, a drive for success), underdeveloped understanding of self, repressed desires, frustrations and just nature itself makes an Anna.
Say what you will about women in general but nature, evolution, or social norms, Marvin should be the least thing a young woman would want in a first world society. However, Mr. Palmer has made the implausible, plausible through a series of factors and situations that doesn't need some weird pathological mental defects... just an emotionally scarred Anna with deep rooted insecurities, desires and frustrations and a whole lot of bad luck finding a Marvin and soon Grant to exploit her weakness.
And that is why I can see Mr. Palmer's difficulties in nailing down what he wishes to explain to his audience in the game. Getting a very attractive woman to accept a very unattractive man that otherwise has no hope in hell getting a goddess.
