Corrupted Khorminos is definetly axed.

Why do they even bother bringing it up as a concept when there is no concrete plan to get it done? Just like the corrupt hive, if you don't have a commitment from someone to get it done and with an outline at least started why even bring it up as a possibility? All it looks like is that you are under-delivering and with how frequently this seems to happen it only looks like you are doing it on purpose.
I guess that means Khorminos is done right? We can move on and leave it all behind right? Because there is no point in getting involved with their politics, like you can at the Royal dinner, if the only option is to see how many members of this royal family you can fuck, they may as well been any other kind of NPC.

Like it is possibly the most easiest route to affect corruption on the city on a wide scale, you literally have an in with either: the Princess, the Prince (possibly in the future I guess), the King, a Senator, or some combination of them. Hell you could probably count Octavia too, as an even more insidious route to try and cause chaos. The player has an in with the highest people of authority in the city, bending their ear and corrupting them is not that ridiculous a concept, what happens afterwards and the effects it may have on other content is clearly the hang up they don't want to deal with as was said:
The summary of the above statements is this.
If you wanted to be a 3rd party writer, you'd write around tons of restrictions, have no control over things you write, have half of the roster be untouchable, have meta reasons blocking things you want to write (like B being barred from making a F/F pregnancy for Zo), and generally have to goose-step around every decision.
So where were those corruption writers supposed to come from and exactly what were they even going to be allowed to do?
Only now it is either a bunch of work for someone else who has to do it on eggshells with both hands tied behind their back or a member of the staff has to take authority of it along with all the flak and shit from people upset about how there might be consequences for their actions, like say one of their favorite NPCs vanishing, because their creator doesn't feel like doing the extra work that incorporate them into a new environment, even if maybe having that kind of character duality would actually create a reason to start a new file beyond the reason of your old one getting dusted.
I doubt even Savin would want to piss off that many other writers by making unilateral changes to and entire city of characters, because it would just push them more away, cause more development friction, and probably ultimately cause more writers to leave thus giving him more work, something I am certain he does his best to avoid.
So we're stuck. Any meaningful corruption content can't exist, because it would have to basically be ordered by Savin that if you want to write a character you have to make a corrupted version if the space they are in gets corrupted, which would create more work for him and his circle as well so he wouldn't be a fan of it either. The very least they could do is make it so your corruption score will lock you out of interactions with certain NPCs, which may already be present in some form, but I doubt anyone would really be happy with such a weak compromise. May as well just convert Corruption into slut score and have it close off marriage options once it gets high enough or something, maybe unlock some depraved scenes with
or something I don't know.
