Incorrect, we just saw with the new Stylist characters added to the "FloofHaus" as they like to call it, that TOBS cloned Miko content.
Stylist characters were added months ago. All that was just added was a bust I'm pretty sure. And they weren't added to the kitsune den.
And that cloned content was what I was talking about though I meant to type
from the two sisters, not between.
How many of those got front page splashes on the website? How many of those female characters are plot relevant? I do not dispute the numbers of characters, I dispute their level of value based on effort put in, relevance and level of promotion.
The answer to all those is probably "more than the futas by a good bit".
How many plot relevant futa characters are there? Kas, Etheryn and...is that it?
And if we want to count front page splashes, lets go over the front page stuff for this whole year.

So 15 posts with a female on them and...6 posts with a futa on them.
...pretty much the same ratio as everything else.
And this is about a thing that is exceedingly rare in nature, being represented in the ratios that homosexual content should be realistically represented.
This...doesn't matter. This is a fetish game. How much stuff occurs in nature is kinda irrelevant here.
Yes, this is all opinion territory, let none us delude ourselves here, I am arguing an opinion based on the information before me as are you. I acknowledged your numbers based on the factual element of them, challenged them on their interpretation.
But the opinion you are representing here has a LOT of fact to cover. You are saying that a 3rd of the characters get more attention than a number of characters over triple their size. In literally every easily measurable metric, the exact opposite is true.
Excluding copied and pasted content. And when it comes to companions I will concede the bias, I had thought of including that in my previous post but couldn't work it in. But when it comes to companions and their level of content we are really talking about two companions only, Cait and Brienne. They have far more content than the rest put together. And of those Cait has been getting less focus over time, as I demonstrated in the Cait watch posts where at first she was pivotal to the story, and after winter city she dropped off the face of the earth. Companions as a catagory do not mean much, most only have content on par with the more complex "settled" NPCS, and the most complex of those in Berwyn was a passion project that just got axed.
Regardless of how much content any of them are getting relative to before, they still get more content by far than...well, the futa companion (Arona).
And "pivotal to the story" isn't really the issue, here, content is. And after Winter City, she has gotten CaitQuest, the whole brothel, a new transformation, a steady drop of scenes, etc.
As such they are seen more as sexable rivals, and get afforded the screen time male counter parts would be given.
I pretty much agree with this...but it kinda just bolsters my point.
This is also removing the context in which the characters are introduced. Yes, out the Marefolk villiage, only Atani is mariable, but she is surrounde BY futa content. Her guards are futas, her mother is futa, you go to the wedding and you are reminded that all of them have horse cock save the bride.
So...all the meaningful content is had by the female character, all the attention is on the female character, all of the non-story development surrounds the female character - and the futas get a few sex scenes.
Also, if we're talking about context - the marefolk village basically also comes with the centaur village, the quest finishes both. The place where you get to marry ANOTHER female character, and get another character that actually becomes a camp companion - both of course, female.
The other marriages? Centaur wife, has no bearing on events and the villiage has no value save recruiting the party pack-mule. Kiyoko is reviled in this community and falls squarely into TOBS's content, so yes, as a matter of preference, she is devalued.
Whether or not she is reviled is, again, irrelevant. The issue posed by you is, well...
based on effort put in, relevance and level of promotion
and Kiyoko definitely fills those roles.
Sorry, no, I've just gone through the website to check this and no. Every month back to the start of 2020 (Where I stopped because it's geting late and I wish to sleep) has a splash image of at least one futa character or an update that added to one. Bear in mind that batches of NPC's, like the brothels and centaurs, include at least one futa.
Splash images aren't content. There have been many dry spells with little to no futa content, though tbh I'd have to check if an actual calendar month corresponded.
Should we run a poll here and see what numbers that gives us? Put a survey before two different audiences and get two different results. Was new coke good or bad?
Their surveys are served to their existing, paying, audience. People who have a vested interest, and have been exclusively filtered out from their total audience, IE everyone who doesn't continue to shell out Patreon money.
Even on here, as someone just commented, there's an awful lot of futa characters on top polls.
And, quite frankly, the poll results here, would be...meaningless. You talked about what they
should be putting in their game, and I would think that pretty much anyone would agree that a business
should be catering to its paying customers and not pirates, no? Add to that the fact that that poll sat around 2500+ people and here probably doesn't hit 100 users, and I feel its pretty clear which one someone would give more weight to logically.
To justify my point on scarcity further, Savarra was meant to be a a more grounded world, yet it has more futa content than the original game. Hell, be your own numbers it has more futa's than there are homosexuals in the world (if we extrapolate your ratios, who conservatively number 1 in 10. I am not arguing there is a one to one for all. But that an over-representation of something extremely rare is highly noticeable.
It also has more cow people than than there are in the world.
Relating Savarra's demographics to the real world does not seem like a useful metric in any way.
As for futa games on the market... I think we can both click the futa tag at the top of this page and disabuse that notion.
We most certainly can't. there are over 7000 games on this site; less than 1000 of them have the futa tag at all. The
vast majority of those have a
single scene or side character at best, and the vast majority of what's left is, to put it nicely, well below par.
