a couple of points of order:
1) I am starting to develop the theory that I should just ignore any comment that includes the phrase "beta cuck" because the words are used almost exclusively by people I will disagree with on a fundamental level. Its overuse kinda brings up a parallel with the use of the word snowflake, which to my experience seems to be the favourite insult used by people who actually tend to reveal themselves being the biggest snowflake in the room.
No, I am not saying that if you use the words beta cuck you are one (I mean, you might be? I don't know nor do I care enough to want to know, you do you...).. but the terms tend to be used kinda pointlessly by people who go out of their way to find the bad in something that on honest examination isn't actually that bad... and certainly doesn't apply to our MC.
2) I didn't ask for comments in the thread to be removed... Hell, half of the removed comments were mine to begin with.
I asked the reason for it, and was told that they were removed because they had gone off topic or reacted to comments that were off topic... make of that what you want. I DID ask to remove 2 reviews, not because they were 1 star... because we're confident enough as individuals and as devs that we can take the occasional 1 star rating (in fact I think there's at least 1 or 2 others that we did leave alone)... but because they were a blatant misrepresentation of the game, its content and it's themes. If one of those was yours and you want to leave us a 1 star rating, go right ahead and do so.... but as a reason, write next to it "I didn't like the game" or give us a solid, and true, reason for it in the written part of the review, something that is an actual coherent thought and we can use to improve the game... I'll promise to leave it alone, unless, again, it's full of lies.
3) Cena... let's say you are right about the 50/50 nature of the content of this 0.5update.. let's examine it for a second... First off, sharing and cuck are 2 different things. As others have noted, it is optional, to the point that if you choose for it not to happen, in universe, it does not happen rather than happening off screen, and you're still the head honcho (you'd be also if it did happen, but whatever)... let's see the scenes in question:
a) Igor comes to visit and (IF the player decides so) gets a freebie, which can be either Ain or the maid, Emilia... or.. nothing, because you can also make him sit on his thumbs whilst you get the BJ instead...
Not only that.. if Igor goes too far, Ain reminds him, on the spot, that she's not his and he should keep his hands to himself. He is getting a gift, but he's not the boss in that scenario.
It is true, Igor does not reciprocate by offering up his niece, but if you had bothered to read the text and not just look at the pictures... The scene ends with the MC promising Kateryna a tour of the city. Given the nature of the game, where do you think that will lead? The game is in development, and you can expect Kateryna to show up again. The fact that MC didn't get it from her right away in some sort of mental arithmetic you're doing is irrelevant. If you can't contemplate a longer game than the instant gratification, I suggest you go watch porn instead of playing games that actually try to tell a story. have you take part ownership of the story we're telling.
b) The queen leans in to kiss Shani.... That's all that happens, and it's not forced in any way. If YOU the player decide to reciprocate the kiss, can you really point the finger at us when you could just as easily have decided not to? It's literally 1 click and entirely up to you.
c) Gasmask Dudebro is either sent packing by the MC if he doesn't want to share, or he gets half a BJ, is left blueballed halfway through said BJ and is then utterly murderized by Kyra about 10 seconds later, for disrespecting her sister... the whole thing explicitly presented as an educational exercise in humiliation for Asha. He is a prop, nothing more, something the MC uses to teach Asha a lesson.
The scene, either way you play it, ends in an incestuous threesome with MC and the 2 sisters. The pecking order is very clearly established being MC>Kyra>Asha>Dudebro, with a 100% chance for Dudebro to die a violent death. If you don't see how this is very clearly a domination game where the MC is absolutely on top, again, that is on you.
We can agree that even seeing a second dick in the scene might trigger a negative response in some players, and you can be one of them. If that's the case, by all means, guide the scene so that that doesn't happen, or block that kind of content outright, or... indeed, don't play the game.
However, do not come and tell me that these scenes make the MC a little bitch and the existence of the scenes in and of itself is enough to utterly ruin it because "ntr agenda" or some other analogue, because if that is your takeaway, I have to question your judgement and you capacity to understand scenes more complex than "see pussy+have MC fuck it=success!" and in that case, yes, this game is not for you.
P.S. disliking and even shitposting on a game or a dev, is one thing... actually wishing financial failure on someone just because they did something you didn't like, that tells us more about you than I frankly wished to know. Talk about big time beta energy...
