I assumed as much. "Free publicity" of this kind is worthless to me as it reduces my potential revenue. I'll try using the DMCA filing, so thanks for that advice.
For the rest of you here who steal my creative output:
I could go off on a philosophical appeal to your better natures but why bother? Just remember that once the parasite consumes the host, it dies.
That's rich coming from someone who uses real porn. You have license to use it?

I understand this point of view but there are also arguments to the contrary.
Not sure the vast majority of people on this forum would ever pay for a game like this or many others.
As for the others, as I browse the forum, I get the impression that those who would have paid because they like the game, will really pay even if they are offered free. They're just taking the opportunity to test as you can do with many other products. Yes, even here there are honest people with a conscience.
The loss is probably minimal.
As for the free advertising the game could do without...
We could try it the other way around, if the majority of the people denigrate it, won't that have any influence either?
Last thing: biologically, parasites never kill their hosts, they just weaken them. And, over time, some even become vital to the host (starting with the mitochondria and all the intestinal bacteria)). For example, I would never have heard of this game if I didn't frequent this forum which seems to be the reference for many other game forums.
Especially since it'd take like a week to get legit licenses for more real porn than he could ever use, for less money than he takes in for a week. 3rd rights shit is super cheap. And lots of studios even have digital distribution, so you're not getting DVDs in the mail for the image sets.
Its always ironic when content thieves accuse others of being content thieves. I highly doubt those actresses and porn studios are getting any kind of a cut from Selectacorp. The hypocrisy of them whining about lost revenue when they do the same thing being a parasite on porn studios works.

Is the dev in here crying about revenue he would never get even if it wasn't linked here? lol Pirating doesn't actually take away from the revenue because the people pirating were never going to purchase the product in the first place. So if anything, getting it for free gives you a chance to make money because if someone likes it ENOUGH to want to see it succeed they'll throw money your way. I've done it for a few projects myself. Also yeah as someone else pointed out, keep crying about theft when you use real porn without their permission and sell it.

Gonna be pretty frank here:
I don't know if you had a larger following working in some other online medium or not before starting this, but this is a shit attitude to have toward consumers. Would you rather have people financially support you? Sure. But people are going to pirate regardless of whether you approve of it or not. Always. There's two ways of looking at it. You can be like Game of Thrones and boast about how much it's pirated, or you can wallow in it like all of these Hollywood Studios do about their movies being pirated. Attitudes like this will bury a developer, especially in a space as closed as adult gaming.
The reality is that people who support are going to support irregardless of how they got there, whereas someone specifically looking to pirate was likely to never support it in the first place. It's all about how you handle it, and this isn't it. F95 has millions of active members, many of which are the reason that you see games like BaD, etc. pulling in massive numbers. So, this idea that pirates are hurting your revenue is kind of a false one. It's a matter of perspective, and when you're pulling in nearly two grand (according to Graphtreon, at least.) via stolen content, it sounds quite greedy.
As for the DMCA, that's probably a no-go. You're using stolen content yourself that you can't prove you're the owner of. MEGA might pull it down anyways, but Mega's always done that. In the worst case, it could leave you liable to damages (unlikely.).
Just my two pennies.
You need to get to Debbie through Amanda to be able to sabotage her presentation. If you do it through Britney, the game will not be able to progress.

Curious if there is a "goal" like taking over as Artemis CEO for the Singapore update. Something like that always gives more of a game-y sense of achievement rather than feeling like just reading a porn journal. Since you're already the CEO by the end it's kinda...
As a separate topic, does anyone have a save from before you capture debbie's sister? I missed that part of the playthrough myself and the save file posted earlier is after it. Thanks.

God, I love this! I have been a big fan of SelectaCorp games for years, but most of them were lacking any any real porn content. Great concepts and themes, but more teasing than delivering. This is the first game of theirs I have played that fully followed though with the ideas they had teased.

From what I played it just kinda ended at a certain point, where I just no longer had any new content to choose anywhere. You certainly accomplish all the goals that are presented to you and finish the stories for all the characters introduced, but there really isn't a concrete final goal that you are working towards besides a general "establish the company foothold in this area". You are simply given new tasks as you complete them until nothing new pops up. Maybe they are trying to leave things open for more content here in the future.
