Your insinuation that
Xavster "... could just be lazy..." pisses me off big time. I personally worked with him 2 years on putting out Callisto and lazy, unplanned, and unprofessional he is NOT! Also, your three "Scenarios" are all assumptions showing ignorance, so I'll cut you some slack and explain it as simply as I can...AGAIN!!
1. the tag for "harem" does NOT indicate the game's ending, NOR does the dev have any choice in the matter. The Game has a harem in it, so it is correctly described as a harem game per F95 definitions. All he can do is put the tag on.
2. No Dev owes any of us Pirates on this site ANY communication as we do NOT support him/her financially. The ones that DO communicate (and Xavster has) do it at their discretion and we user/players should be respectful of that. They owe us nothing.
3. Your assumption that this game's ending
was never discussed is incorrect and only shows you haven't looked back on the long comments made on this very subject!!
THIS SUBJECT HAS BEEN BEAT TO DEATH on this thread!! Why? because so many of people on this site
have the mistaken idea that "if it doesn't end in a Harem, it ain't a Harem game" which is NOT the definition on F95. Regardless, others have asked/complained about that very same "harem" tag misunderstanding until they're blue in the face! So, please, please give this 'ending in a harem' issue a rest.
Callisto was designed to be a realistic 'harem' game, as realistic as it can/will get in real life (in spite of the Sci-Fi setting) and I personally am proud of that fact. That makes it
more adult because
NO relationship lasts forever, especially harems. Those who think they do, or just want that ending in a game, have got their head up their butts, IMHO. But, hey, they're entitled to that opinion so I won't argue.
Finally, the end of the Harem and the player's choices the game has in it are not the
only realistic possibilities.
I've thought of another one which I will be including in my upcoming ENHANCEMENT of Callisto, now in progress. What that is, I will NOT discuss in any way shape or form.
