Well, saying that DS was exhausted from making BB is a strange thing, because I believe he abandoned the game because his patreon was suspended / banned (no money, no game). Anyway, many theories that people speak does not seem to be true, if he really didn’t want to do BB content he wouldn’t create another story in Glamour to play, he would simply focus on Kate’s story, and not waste time creating Max’s story.
DS was pissed off because his game was pirated and this is the reason he abandoned BB.
Many dev's had there accounts suspended and all they did was change the relationships in there games and were back on line the very next month.
His new game when it first came out had all kinds of DRMs (or something like that) to keep it from being hacked but our great people here hacked it anyway. Before it was changed you had to download most of that game when you wanted to play but with the hacked version you just had to turn off internet to play.
(You don't use DRM's to stop hacking unless you are pissed off for being hacked and you don't use DRM's on a simple VN unless you are very pissed off from hacking.)
BB was bringing in almost 30k a month and now his new game with the addition of BB npc's has only brought that back to about 10k a month but before he added them to this new game he was only bringing in about 5k a month.
You don't abandon a VN/game bringing in 30k a month unless you are very pissed off when a simple relationship rework would have done that very easily.
Yes I know he was bringing in almost 30k because it was listed when I first started playing BB and was supporting him and I kept looking at his patreon site for any new info.
(I'm almost want to say it was 34k but I really can't remember if it was BB or another game I was supporting.)
I started playing about about v.6 and even back then you could see the romance that was developing between Max and Lisa and it went that way until about v.9 when the story changed up to having Max a complete dip shit.
