Yeah that's why I and a lot of others no doubt would be pissed if MC was. But there's gotta be some kind of twist/story element to it right? Maybe related to Rusty?
My hypothesis is that he's related to Tybalt, by which I mean Jade was married to someone before Burke and that person is Tybalt's birth father and Lynette's brother or father.

people keep saying that MC could be related to a B or R but that's lazy writing. MC mother is not related to B&R. you could be rich without being related to a B&R. So why everybody thinking about that?

They're the 2 named rich familes in the game so the easiest way to write MC being related to one of them. Lack of incest rules one out so it has to be the other. Well no and I've just given one which also removes Neil being secretive from equation

But that would still make Jade his Aunt and even non-blood relatives are considered incest under Patreon's TOS and under the law in the U.S., so this is probably not what it will be.

It's not lazy writing, I don't see why people think it is. It actually has the potential for being a greater impact on the MC and the dynamic of their life than if they were related to some random rich family that we've not heard of. It would be especially impactful if he becomes the "prodigal son" type character where his Mom was the first-born child and thus the one who would have inherited most of the family wealth, legacy, power, etc, because it puts him in a technically higher position than Rusty if his Dad were the 2nd or even 3rd born.

Of course, the MC doesn't have to accept it and can try to live a normal life, but people could perceive him differently and it could affect his life whether he wants it to or not. It has the potential to be a huge, game-changing moment for the MC if he were to become a Burg, especially if he were to be the heir-apparent of the Burg family.

Lynette father owns a construction company. So, why people think MC is related to a B&R?
It's not stated that her Dad owned a construction company, only that Neil worked in construction and was hired to build a hotel for this "flithy rich" guy.

Even if her Dad did own a construction company, most of the big ones are owned by millionaires, or they're owned by capital or investment firms that are owned by billionaires. Most millionaires and billionaires have their fingers in many different pies and own companies/run businesses in different sectors, or at least have investments and stock tied up in different areas.

So it's not impossible to believe that 2 rich men founded a college and that their families have gone on to become incredibly wealthy and have business interests in a few different areas, including owning and operating hotels. It would be like if the great-grandfathers of the Walton and Pritzker families had founded a college together.

Being a Burg is more possible, yes, although that's a bit of sore subject around theses parts.
yes, maybe a Burgmeister... But if MC is blood related with someone, he could be a Burke, so Tybald would be his cousin... Or maybe he is related with Bella. It could be anybody or nobody...

He won't be related to any of the female characters he can have sex with, that's pretty much a given at this point.

Not that I disagree with you (I really, really, really don't disagree), but just for fun let's play devil's advocate. What's to stop the descendent of a rich professor that founded B&R to start (or buy) a construction company? Or for that matter, for that rich professor founder to be from a family that owns a construction company?

Please refresh my memory. It was never mentioned how long Neil and Lynette were together before she died giving birth to the MC, correct?

Your theory would only make sense if Neil and Lynette were together for a few years after she ran away to join him. They met when she was 18. Even if they had met at the very start of construction, and given that typically it takes a couple of years to finish building a hotel, Lynette would be in her very early 20's at most when she ran away to be with Neil.

So unless they had a few years together before MC's birth, it would be highly unlikely (although technically possible) for Lynette to have a younger sibling that has a son 2 years older than the MC, even if Lynette and Rusty's father were paternal twins like Maya & Derek.

We don't know how long they were together before she died. All we know is that she was 24 and he was 18 when they met and got together.

It is very possible for a sibling of hers to have had a child before her. Let's say Lynette got pregnant at 26, if she had a younger sibling (brother, for example) who had his first child at 22 when Lynette was 24, then that makes them 2 years older than the MC.

I would like to think that she and Neil had a few good years together, because it doesn't feel like they got together when he was 18 and she was 24, she got pregnant at 24, and then died. My guess would be they had at least 4-5 years together before having the MC, which would be more than enough time for a cousin to have been born.

I Think you mix up their age. Neil was 24 and lynette was 18

You're right, I did. But it's still possible for a younger sibling of hers to have had a child before her if she didn't have the MC until she was at least in her mid 20s.
