Ok with all of that, except this is not a porn game above all. DPC doesn't make porn games. This is an adult VN with sex, of course, but not a porn game. So porn logic doesn't (shouldn't) apply. If he throw a prostitution scheme in the plot it's not because that's an easy way to have several sex scenes from the start, there must be a deeper reason for it and it's reasonable to think it would lead to some drama related to it. We'll see if it's just for Maya or for other girls too.Is it ? Keep in mind this game is above all a porn game. I know some people are more interested in characters and story and there's nothing wrong with that, but one of the main goal is still to provide a lot of sex scenes. Quinn's restaurant is big a part of it. Porn doesn't usually expose seriously dark and gritty's aspects of prostitution's world ( In hentai prostitution, rape, drugs and mind breaking are even tags some fans actually enjoy, but that's another debate. Man, there's even a Weinstein based game here). The way the MC handle the whole prostitution thing isn't realistic from the start.
Honestly speaking, the Pink rose is more a brothel than a strip club at this point. The ladies have sex with VIP customers. There are clearly kind of hookers but neither players or characters have issues with it. Because none of them seem depressed, defenseless or forced to perform. The MC even started a sexting relationship with a hooker mom. Same thing for Quinn's restaurant. All interactions with the MC are portrayed as completely consensual. Camila enjoyed it so much she offered him anal freely, Sarah admitted being sexually aroused, Riona was the one suggesting the threesome because she likes him much more than others customers. All of them would have fucked him anyway. They actually did later. Even Quinn has an obvious crush for him and fucked him freely. Assman is so attractive that he doesn't have to pay anymore and hookers like it.
That's a poor way to represent relations between hookers and customers. But the point is, DPCK has never intended to be realistic about it. Yeah there will be issues with Mona and Burke. But Burke is portrayed as an unsympathetic and pathetic cheater lustful for younger women. The Mc on the other hand is too gifted to be realistic in any way. So does his relation to women.
Honestly, MC's approach to prostitution is quite common nowadays. Many people think of it as something fun and even harmless (young guys especially, maybe misguided by porn). It is not, most of times. Sure the sexual acts in game seem and feel consensual (Patreon and Steam might have some issues otherwise) and obviously all the girls would love to do it with the almighty MC for free. But the story is heading to a point where we could witness some serious stuff regarding some of the 'willing' whores. As I said before, I even would be disappointed if that's not the case. Not because I have any interest in watching that kind of material, but because I think it would fit DPC's style perfectly fine.
