Yes,
And i think it'd be an even more magical & optimistic experience if you encountered this game as an early access on steam and was ignorant about this thread, i wouldn't surprised if that first impression compels many ppl into patronship not knowing any of its history
If you ignore the context (like being 8+ years on development with ridiculous shenanigans) the game gives a good first impression (maybe this is another reason why it has kept the support for such a long time).
I'd say just watch the gallery and call it a day. That's the only thing it has going for it.

No.
People want to support this, thinking this EA has been in development for some months, maybe.
They deliberately delete stuff that tells others about the history. They lie to people and 'legally scam' them.
Most of their supporters only do so for a few months, then stop.
But they put a lot of money into 'advertising' and literally faking reviews on Steam and stuff.
Which, in turn, get's them new supporters to stay for a while.
The game itself is not bad per se.
If we'd been talking about a 1 to 2 man project that has been cooking for a year, maybe.
For a game that has been making more than 10K a month for years, this is a lazy excuse of greed.
And everyone defending this needs some slaps to wake up.
This, literally, is one of the reasons Gaming nowadays is a sad shadow of it's former self.
More and more 'developers' slap the Early-Access stamp on a game only to excuse every problem with it.
Most of them never even making it to a full release.
And even bigger developers and publishers (Crapsoft and Electronic Crap, for example) don't really bother with developing good games anymore because it's not about making a good game anymore.
It's about making the biggest profit with the least amount of work put in.
I haven't played it in years but well it is an unfinished game so I can only assume the gameplay aspects would be unfinished at best and an utter waste of time at worst, and judging the trajectory I'd rather just not invest in the characters and story in a game not wanting to finish anytime soon anyways ykwim?
This is a nsfw game so it doesn't make much sense to compare it to the mainstream industry.
Now we can use examples of nsfw games and well ... Taking years to develop and making bad decisions to keep developing the game is the norm.
I no longer support projects without looking for information about them, F95 should also include a dynamic tag for time in development.
This - These are some of the most god-awful ugly monsters I've ever seen. Too "furry" for human-lovers and too "human" for furry-lovers. I don't know who they're supposed to appeal to but so many (if not all) of the male designs are absolutely atrocious.
The thing I despise the most about Tripple A studios is that they intentionally fuck up their games and prematurely release for quarterly margins. They don't give a single fuck about pleasing anyone but shareholders. The result is a pathetic undercooked game.
Patreon scams like this one are way worse because the predation on the consumer is more aggressive. Like you said, they end up spending more on advertising than on actually doing anything with the game once it reaches a 'sufficient' gameplay look where it's not finished at all, but it's enough to keep new players entertained for a bit. Just long enough to consider subscribing on their patreon.
It's absolutely repulsive. I hate regulation, but how else can this shit stop? Only if people smarten up and stop being paypig scum. And that's not happening anytime soon. There's always going to be victims. Casualties.
Ngl, enerytime i see this shit in the latest page i click to see and laugh at the new fix, not even multiple fixes, is the fix
As someone who played this a few months ago after some 7 years since the last time... No, it's not worth the time and bandwidth to download it, let alone play it.
Yea, I should have mentioned that one in my og question. Glad they allowed us to skip the cuck stuff, but I'm not a fan of the forced transformation content. Thank you for the reply though!
