I’m fairly sure he does/ would grab on the NEUTRAL playthrough. Though it’s been a few months now so I forget.
Yeah, Neutral is the only playthrough i find tough to stick to so haven't fully completed. I typically side more Chick, more often than not on the choices but some of the DIK stuff is funny. The status choices of DIK though, the MC does really come off sometimes as a massive arsehole. (Kind of the point, i know, i'm just not a fan) lol

I went the neutral way first time. It was kind of boring compared to my second time as more Chick way. My opinion of course. I preferred going Dick more than neutral simply because it at least had some character.

I agree with most of your post but this fragment means you don't know how internet works. There is literately nothing he can do against this site that would be effective in any way.
Yeah, it would be too expensive to go legal against the site, plus the time he rather have to develop the game, and a way to destroy a big part of the community even if its technically pirating. There's a lot of supporters here that just come to the forum to discuss stuff. In the end, even if its a free game here, its more audience to DPC and the game, meaning more chances at a bigger paying audience. Steam sales are likely not that big, or he would just drop patreon and develop seasons exclusive for that platform, patreon is way better and the episodic format keeps supporters paying.

I know this topic has come up in the thread before, and I agree with you, it seems like people have a pretty distorted idea of how hard it is to create adult content for pay, and will go to great lengths to justify their accessing it for free. With that said, it does cut both ways. There's a substantial portion of folks who will buy if they get to try first, and especially in adult-content creation, income tends to be disproportionately contributed by 'whales' who provide very much more than the minimum contributors. This is true across patreon, but its especially true with adult content, where people who find something that hits on their particular fetishes and have substantial disposable income may pledge hundreds a month to ensure it continues to exist. This pattern exists outside of adult content (it's how many F2P/P2W mobile games work), but its especially amplified in adult content.

A lot of 'legitimate' paths to income are not really available to adult content; DPC has his material on Steam, but it's pretty uncommon to find XXX content there and there's more topics that aren't permissible. Criticizing the creator for using the best tools available to them, even if those tools are inadequtae or flawed, is pretty silly.
Free or not, F95 did had a giant role on DPC sucess in building a supporting audience, either be because its one of the top rated games around and great ratings, or because he already built a paying audience with Acting Lessons, which was a sucessful known game around F95 aswell. All I am saying is, despite this being a pirate site, it does have it share on the sucess of DPC, more than maybe he's willing to admit. Heck I think DPC himself roamed these foruns long ago.

Anyway, I feel that maybe DPC rules are like that mostly because of his patrons. I have no doubt they pay a lot to call themselves overlords of the fanbase and demand DPC that sites like F95 are treated like the plague... because they are paying to be royalty in the community while here is "a pirate life for us"

Neutral in my current playthrough and so far it's been fairly easy for me to stick to it as all the Major Choices I wanted to make ended up working out that way. I'm currently one choice away from going to CHICK Affinity, so I'm hoping there will be at least one DIK decision that I'm comfortable making as I feel that Neutral is a farily good path to go down that doesn't lock you out of too much content.

I went the neutral way first time. It was kind of boring compared to my second time as more Chick way. My opinion of course. I preferred going Dick more than neutral simply because it at least had some character.
In what way was it boring? Just curious because aside from a couple of moments on DIK and CHICK Affnity, I feel like Neutral offers the best shot at most content in this game and the most options in terms of LIs and side girls.

Ok, to be honest I truly had no idea this was pirate site. Ignorance isn't an excuse, but for me it was the reason. At least now I know WHY I was banned. I still support him and his continued success just not financially.
You can download games for free here that actually cost money elsewhere, yet you have no idea it's a pirate site? :rolleyes:

And? Outright banning someone because they mentioned where they first discovered the game is an extreme reaction. A little slap on the wrist warning and telling them not to do it again would have been more than sufficient. I'm a patron of Radiant and I posted a patron-only 4K render in the thread here, but Sir Dammed didn't ban me, they just sent me a message on Discord to not do it again and I won't because they asked. DPC went too far in banning this guy.
It's not as if Swedish were known to be respectful and understanding people.... Happy to be behind a screen, where he can't shoot me if i said something wrong. I can't pay for games and i know it's not really a great behaviour to have, but still a respectful guy paying him to be thankfull for his good job and is banned for telling the truth... It's better to be DIK to have DPC's respect...

I can't help but go Jill route everytime. I know IRl shit like that just wouldn't happen unless MC suddenly finds himself super duper freaking lucky. I hope he would IRl. But she is just too awesome to go for anyone else. I like Jade a whole lot as well. But that's probably cause I am "whipped" when it comes to redheads. But Jill still wins. That is all. Goodnight New York or whatever.
She is boring and has a weird duck face. Even the white-haired crackwhore is better than her.

I keep seeing this "Maya is a crack whore" remark popping up from time to time and it made me curious; have you ever seen an actual crack whore or are you just repeating what others have said to appear edgy?

EDIT: Disregard if you meant Quinn, at least the drug part makes sense.
Yes and no. I stopped being edgy 40 years ago (though I probably wasn't then either lol) ;)

someone might slip when they're drunk (Derek couldn't hold his tongue twice up until now, so I'm looking at you Derek)
Ya, that's why I chose not to tell Derek about Cathy. I don't think he'd do anything intentionally but I fully expect him (or someone in the DIKs) to slip up at some point if they know about things.

Every girl in the game has her own rabid fans (except poor Brandi it seems... I don't remember anyone even bringing her up here!), and every single one of us knows it. So, I think making insulting comments about any of them is just pointless, stupid flame baiting.
