I chose Game of Thrones for comparison because:
- It has only a few episodes per season (compared to other series that have like 20+ episodes that span half the year),
- It ran for as many years as people are speculating this game will run,
- It was wildly popular within it genre (as is BaDIK); and
- Because there was incest (yes BaDIK doesn't have incest, but here at F95 that's a rarity).
It's the obvious choice for comparison.
Whether you liked GoT or not, it had the staying power (I thoroughly enjoyed it up until season 6 but still didn't mind it after that, even the ending didn't bother me too much although it could have been fleshed out more which means more episodes were warranted and it would have taken even longer to complete).
People watched it from beginning to end, and more people joined the viewership as the years went by. Same as BaDIK.
Your fear is it will dwindle and die before it's completed, I'm suggesting that it won't. DPC has already storyboarded the whole game. He fleshes things out as he creates each episode, but he already knows where he's taking the game, he's not just winging it.
I do have a worry that the game may suddenly kick into serious plot mode (like Acting Lessons did once most of the relationships were solidified), and many people may not like that change of pace or direction (I didn't particularly like Acting Lessons whereas thousands lauded it). But that's a different argument.
I don't think this game is going to be just about finally fucking Jill. The MC is already reached his prime, everyone at the college knows him, he has the DIKs and the HOTs virtually eating out of his hand, the teachers are already sucking his cock. Shit has to start going down hill soon, i.e. a conflict to sustain the rest of the game, and my guess is it will come in the form of Vinnie.
Not yet though, we still have a bunch of things to solve that may take a few more episodes:
- Who sent the Jocks the blackmail pictures?
- Who sent the Cathy cluck?
- What behind Bella's door?
- What's the deal with Bella and James?
- What happened between Bella and Jill (their purported one night stand)?
- What will the MC do with his 5K?
- Is there a traitor in the DIKs and is it Nick?
- How will the MC beat Tybalt's blackmailing of Jill?
- What will the MC's Mom's diary reveal?
- Will there be an ultimate confrontation with Maya's Dad?
- What will be the fallout from Burke seeing the Jade and MC video?
- What is Jill's campaign about specifically?
- Is Lily seriously looking to have Quinn supply drugs to the Pink Rose girls?
- What will Jill's third date with Tybalt be and what will happen once they have finished the third date?
- Will Vinny return as an antagonist?
- Will the MC make Riona cum?
There's enough shit there, along with sex scenes, Halloween parties, Spring Break, etc. for this to live on for ages.
Plus,
DnG is great.
