I know about this because I was that person. I know what Milda said and just as I said then, if he doesn't like an idea, no amount of money or begging from any number of people will change his mind. As far as I can tell, he makes these decisions on his own. I know a lot of people think that he's being controlled by fan(s) because of my whole situation but I can tell you Milda doesn't do that sort of thing. Never has. The reality of it is a lot simpler but people think he's being manipulated because of the sharp change in decisions.
Which yes, surprises even me that he'd change his mind, but it's always been more his game than a game for fans, otherwise the art changes would've stopped since no one likes them. A more fan controlled version of the game is actually what we had for a while which was a string of updates for loli characters because people in the discord (shocker) love that the most.
Ah, I knew I remembered you avatar from somewhere. Explains a lot actually. Like how you're so adamant on coming here to reiterate everything comes from the dev's head, when you were one of the vocal people trying to influence him. Here, from the announcement:
"A lot of people have asked me about zoo and gay content. I probably wouldn't have done it when I first started this business. But now, I already get along with this community and find it really normal"
Pretty obvious you guys had had an influence on his "change of mind". Coupled with what you reported before, and the conclusion people came to seems pretty logical.
Doesn't matter if this is 10% you guys' doing or 90%. Fact is, dev said he wouldn't do something and now he's doing it, in some level due to the requests he got. That's enough to rub people the wrong way. You trying to play damage control now just doesn't hold much weight, when your perspective is not only bias in favor of the added stuff, but you had direct involvement in this whole ordeal.
