I interpreted it as a deal/con on Quinn's part. I think Quinn has a deal with Burke where he basically "cooks the books" to give free tuition to her girls in exchange for their services. The money the girls bring in from other clients, Quinn takes and tells them that money is how she's paying their tuition, when it's actually just for Quinn, probably to help fund the drug business she's also running.

The fact that, through all of this, Quinn never seems to have enough money means she's not turning any actual profit off her scheme(s), which just points to Riona being right all along: Quinn's not as smart as she thinks she is.

Normally a supplier would not sub-contract someone else if that was a market/client he already could sell to directly. If it is Vinny, he presumably would be able sell to Tommy direct w/o ever needing Quinn.

Fellas, fellas, aren't we all forgetting that the portrayal of Vinny thus far is of someone who would forget his name had 2 syllables midway through saying it. Not exactly drug kingpin material, know what I'm sayin' ;)

Vinny was extreme, but I agree he wasn't stupid.

He'd actually make a fitting villain given that he's something of a dark foil to the MC. Vinny was the one who transformed the DIKs from an idea into a reality thanks to his need to push the envelope, but they came to embody all of Tommy and Rusty's immature traits. Now we see the MC leading the resurrection of the DIKs, with the intention of making them more responsible and mature. It would be fitting if he had to face down Vinny's crusade for adrenaline at some point.

The only problem is that Vinny just seems too focused on short term goals to be a proper villain. Normally you want your villain to have the big picture in mind; keeps him relevant as the plot advances. Vinny might have matured a bit since the DIKs were founded, but it seems like that would rob him of some of his contrast with the MC.

I suppose we could go the Joker route and drive Vinny to become obsessed with the MC directly. Or just make Vinny one of many antagonists and drop him once his part in the story is done. Food for thought, anyway.

I think we're overstating the "villain" angle here. Vinny doesn't have to be crime boss level bad, he could just have gotten in with a bad crowd. In the flashback he says he knows "some guys" if the DIKs are "looking to score", which seems a pretty big allusion to drugs. Maybe he got in deep with these "guys" and was expelled because of it, then he went and joined up with them afterwards and became Quinn's dealer. Perhaps Quinn and Vinny already had some kind of business relationship before he got expelled and they kept it going afterwards.

Vinny would be "the big bad" in terms of being Quinn's dealer, but I can't seem being some kind of over-arching comic book-esque "villain" doing all sorts of things behind the scenes to bring down the DIKs or anything like that.

What if, Tommy stole her money? He already has a record of stealing Heather's stash, and a druggie would go to any means to get his fix.

Except he gets his drugs from Quinn. If Quinn doesn't have enough money to pay her supplier, Tommy has no drugs. Stealing Quinn's money is the worst possible way for Tommy to feed his habit.

You know how stupid Tommy is, he doesn't care. He uses Quinn's "that's YOUR problem" philosophy right back at Quinn.

Joking aside, I hope you enjoy the game. I worked my ass off to create this and boy this is expensive.

I need funding to complete this project.

If you can't afford to donate on Patreon, you can still show support by liking or reviewing the game.

Cheers

This game is Freaking AWESOME... mind if we ask what is so costly to produce the game? I am a Patreon supporter but had to curb back my pledges due to the Pandemic and work lack there of.. If there any anything that your fan base can help with besides money please let us we are more then happy to help. I am sure that many of us have more time then money during this crazy time in the year... Except for cool games coming out 2020 can KISS MY ASS... I wish this year was over all ready. This whole year thus far has been a complete shit show and waste of good oxygen. Sorry had to vent... but seriously let us know if we can help. I am volunteering my service if needed.
