I assume that these players have been around for a long time as gamers in this particular area of computer games. And in the meantime have specialized in certain fetishes. So if I only follow certain routes then I have to expect that in some updates there is nothing for me. Especially in story driven games, like here and in other games.
L&P is slow in development but so is a developer you have in your banner. So if there is nothing for me in certain updates, that is only in small part the responsibility of the developer. (For example, if I prefer Tommy in the game you have in the banner, the next update will not have anything for me. Wasn't the developer going to release in August?)
I also don't think you are one of those who look at 400 images in 5 minutes. That's what this post was about.
Following your comparison with Tommy,in AWAM we should probably go with Zack.
Guess what it will take year or two(or maybe even 10 if he is not in PD16) since his last appearance in the game for some more progress.
And no I was talking about Ellie-a major character in AWAM,that barely have some screen time this year and we are not even sure that next Dylan/Ellie event on PD13 will add something more,because we already have one such event that was actually Dylan/Christine,not Dylan/Ellie.
Even if you are on Dylan route you also can get an empty updates.
A lot of them if you are not also into Sam,you are in wrong side job and obviously you won't get Dylan/Amber.
And sorry but JOHN and IG are not even close to release an update that is just 1 or 2 or even 0 renders for the players on certain route.And we are not even talking about a route for tertiary characters like here.
