ICSTOR wasn't a milker, he was a straight up con artist. I think it's really important to note the distinction. As frustrated as we are with L&P, ICSTOR is in a league of his own and deserves a special level of disdain.

What about Gumdrop? Dude made a piano playing simulator out of his game that he milked for years...

Gumdrop is the boss of Milker/Con artist.

Gumdrop is closer to ICSTOR than L&P. Gumdrop also seems like he legit went crazy and broke from reality, so I'd still put ICSTOR on a level all to himself.
I actually have contemplated making a scale to measure and rank devs once they reach a certain point of crappiness.
If Sophia has the full score with Larry, the school ends are gone and Morello and Sophia can start building their relationship all over again. If Sophia tells Morello the whole truth about being blackmailed by Aiden, Morello can't ask for anything potentially erotic in return, he can't even ask for a date. He would thereby take advantage of Sophia's situation, possibly scaring her away so that Sophia would prefer Aiden's blackmail. Morello's personality, I think, would also not allow him to bind a woman to himself in this way, it makes him look weak. I would have Morello proceed with much more sophistication. Planning for the long term.I know, using the Hoccam's razor the simplest explanation is to prefer and you are probably right. It's just that I find strange/curious that he didn't then release the uncensored version as well. That's it. But I guess we will "soon" know.
I cannot agree more with you on keeping the entropy as low as possible.
And as you say, before the teaser I was just assuming that Sophia goes to Morello only under the "very happy Larry" condition and he helps her without anything in return because he feels in debt with her.
Then the "quid pro quo?" of the title was (purposely?) ambiguous because it can be interpreted as Morello doing something for Sophia in exchange for something, or Sophia going cash in the "moral" debt Morello declared to have for what she has already done.
Since I like to leave no stone unturnedI listed them among the possible options. But personally I'd prefer to keep the paths and branches as simple and little as possible.

What is it about, at least he had the content that we all need. Not this one... he milks the same way for years and does not give his patrons anything at all. People demand spectacles. And eventually, after all this nonsense that he does, Sofia will leave her husband for Don Morello or his brother...or who's in prison there...and until then, it will continue like this.

L&P does appear to be a fan of Nike
Or move into the Turner Mansion with Patricia and Carl, which is my personal preference.

Because if you make Larry happy, and Don's comment to Sophia over the phone, and Don's reactions at the casino with Sophia, I don't think Don would mistreat her in any way and he will help her out with a little or no favor at all. The second solution may be that Sophia has to do something sexual in essence to Aiden and Crew as that will be Aiden's demand to release her from the blackmail as payment in full. It could be something like a BJ for all the gang members he invites, as an example. That would be far worst as it would humiliate and defile her if she/the reader doesn't want to carry on with the task at that point, IMO

This is all doubtful that she'd be able to get any legitimate help from him since Don Morello's lawyer is more than likely Aiden's uncle. I really wouldn't be surprised by a twist like that where she won't be able to get any legitimate help from Morello without being used by him similar to what Aiden is doing. Either that or he'd expect something in return for legitimate help. Possibly convincing her to see Larry again or perhaps working for him at his Casino or some other business he might happen to own.

I have theories about this.
Donate to my Patreon so that I can write my book that explores the seedy underbelly and fraudulent nature of the Patreon Economy. Gold Tier membership is $1,000/month and you'll get a three sentence paragraph teaser every month.

I have a theory about Icstors support base. They have come to realize that he is not a "Game Developer", and have come to terms with the "Financial Domination". They all chant together "oink oink oink" in harmony on discord.

Or Don Morello will get along with Aiden and they will use Sophie together.
