Played all the way to getting rid of Eric in the old Another Story version, and managed to miss the Lisa path AGAIN, still don't know exactly how that plays out.
Hmm I do have an old save from before I started the blackmail on Eric thing, guess I'll go from there.
It's also a little ridiculous that Eric says his wallet had $25k in it and everyone just believed him.
It probably didn't even have $25 lol (if I remember right his wallet was empty in the original game.)
I still say the photo of Eric jerking off where you can clearly see who he's jerking it to should have been enough to launch his ass into the sun. Maybe set him up and somehow have another character (Ann wouldn't be able to rationalize seeing that...I'd hope) witness it themselves. Or just find a way to wake Alice up while he's in there, she would rip his balls off herself.
What I really want is for Ann herself to realize he's a bastard based on something he did to her and kick him out on her own.
But who knows what Aleksey has planned for the "rebuild" as far as all that goes.
Edited to add:
I like the little scenes with Max and Lisa when you sleep later, it's hilarious how she's so in denial about how she's checking out his schlong lol.
Oh, and I just remembered.
Max telling Ann she has the "coolest boobs I've ever seen" sounds like something Butt-Head would say lol.
I think a pretty good chunk of the people who pirate games fall more into the "try before you buy" camp than the "free forever" camp. Most of the games I have, I've paid for. Adult games are a bit different since most of them are indie projects and the value proposition just isn't there for a lot of them. They're closer to the value prospect of a free mod for a paid game. I'll buy the game, but not the mod. There's a minimum threshold a game needs to meet for me to pay for it and one of those thresholds is that it has to actually be a finished product. So I don't do Patreon subscriptions but I'm happy to buy a game I consider good on Steam or some other platform for a single "one and done" price.
So I can see why a dev would prioritize their Patreon supporters over comments on a pirate site, but I think most devs realize that a good chunk of those pirates are potential customers. So it makes sense to listen to feedback from them as well. Most people commenting on a game's forum are doing so because there is something about the game they like and they want to see improvements to it. If there was nothing redeeming about the game (to them), they're probably not going to comment on it at all.
I've definitely done the "Try before you buy" thing with games here back when I could pay for anything. And yeah the "I just want it for free" types probably aren't the majority.
As far as getting feedback, It's also about HOW they give their feedback. Actual genuine constructive criticism is a lot more helpful than angrily ranting about something minor, giving a bad review because a first release doesn't let you fuck every character in the game world, demanding things be added or removed, or making borderline threats because a character (often a mom or sister) isn't just the MC's mindless plaything (NTR tag always causes trouble lol.)
Which also goes for paying customers too, obviously.
Players can be just as bad at communicating as devs.
The last thing, yeah I'm definitely in that group. I see games that I would never play all the time, I just put the thread on ignore usually. And if it's a game I didn't like I just don't play it anymore.
