I guess you somehow missed the past 50 pages of discussion where people posted example after example of the devs clearly stating their main focus has switched over to MP, to the point they're now making MP exclusive content (but no SP exclusive content).
Now explain to me how their campaign is "still single player"? Because they say so? We can all agree that actions speak louder than words, and their actions clearly show that MP is their focus.
I do agree on that part, the game could have done without lofty promises of being a fully-fledged game on top of the porn - they neither have the resources nor the motivation to make the gameplay worthwhile, but as it stands the steamy part could have been a lot more than a glorified gallery viewer.
I guess what I wanted was some light RPG elements for the various female characters, so that one session isn't disconnected from the next.
But that's also ignoring how much this site does to spread awareness of various projects that would have likely languished in obscurity otherwise.
There's also the argument that the people that pirate weren't going to be paying costumers anyway - conflagrating every pirated copy of a product to a lost sale is questionable at best. Gabe's observation that piracy really comes down to service also rings very true.
I guarantee you that if someone were to crunch the numbers they'd find that percentage of gamers that pirate took a nosedive once Steam really took off. Also, just look at how laughable the Steam DRM is, Valve haven't done anything to update it in years. If piracy was such a pressing issue in the modern gaming market (it's not), they'd have invested massively into developing more robust DRM tools.
Truth of the matter is that piracy is here and is never going away, any developer that claims they started a project without being aware of this fact is either a fool or lying.
