I mean i get that sense of attachment to their OC and all. But why put it out there as a product. Why not just keep it to themselves to begin with if those can't be shaped to suit the audience needs.

Why bring your favourite toys to the sandbox if you don't want to share? Should have brought the ones where you're less attached to it instead of showing off your favourite one. Might get told off to get out of the sandbox for being like that.
I would says it all boils down to the way the game is being developed. The team-lead is the one who decide what kind of content they want to offer to the audience. Most of the active writers have made clear not being interested on themes usually associated with corruption, therefore the audience won't get any of it.

IMO, the Hive and the marefolk / centaur illustrate perfectly this situation: the hive is barebone if you decide to follow the corruption route, which reflects Skow' disinterest in corruption; same thing when it comes to dealing with the feud between the two tribes. No alternative path is proposed to the player.

Do not get me wrong, I have no issue with smut fiction. Not a single one. But COC2 is supposed to be a game where your choices will impact the world, not a novel database. Give to your player the chance to shape the world. Make them take an active role, not just being observers of what's happening.

Proposing multiple paths is an issue I faced when I started working on a game of my own. I realised that coming up with a decent plot for a game is quite different from writing a fiction that you will post on a novel site.

Because they are amateurs in merchandizing (If not in everything) and have the behavior of a child when is time to capitalize their products (their characters and tales). They don't understand that is a game, and is a power fantasy game since the first one (hence the name), and from their lead dev they're a bunch of upity kids that doesn't like to share because the mayority hasn't passed over the wattpad stage. To write smut is not trying to describe sexual acts on a sexy way. But adding situations and using paraprasing in accord of what you want to depict. You need to capture the idea of what is happening and how your characters are going to the "slaughterhouse". And surprisingly, all of them (With their exceptions) doesn't know how to write power fantasy. Nor write a decent novel.

"Is a game". Well that is another diffculty barrier. Because you know that not only your characters and tales can be branched out. but that you don't have any control of how is going to end, and your characters are sacrificial lambs. You need to think in different outcomes. Plan how to frlow in a fixed pace and their different paths on a bad escenario and a hidden darker one (if you know what are you doing), or write a lighter one (Good escenario) where everything worked better than expected. making a "novel game" is far harder for the coders and programmers. Because it will have many variables to code and dictate what and how they're going to be unlocked.
And this one clearly we can see that from the lead. they doesn't know what they are doing.

WazaQQXOXO has a gist of what is happening, that the main issue is revolved around Savin and his ineptitude of fleshig out a game that could mean the demise of many of their wattpad tier (in the writing department and author behavior) Characters on the hands of the players. Also add that Savin is a fetishist. And giving control to the player/consumers to destroy his fetishes hits him hard than an porn addict when his stash is burned on his sight.

Indeed, I'll be on a PRUDE Crusade where I will turn every single one of them to their "correct" genders.
Pretty much the type that "those" people hate.
And THAT is a lot more interesting than the whole "story" they have in this litterbox game.

Western
Erotic
Game :LUL:
Not gonna lie, this is essentially why people often prefer to gobble up poorly MTL'd Japanese titles as opposed to WEGs since the former is usually already complete, save for a few that need later bug fixes. The latter is often in development hell, with versions barely getting past 0.5, fewer still getting close to the mythical Final build. Not to mention the overuse of uncanny valley 3D models that come off as creepy rather than sexy.
