Is it safe to assume that your primary language is English and you're mostly knowledgeable of English markets? This game is translated into multiple languages. The main developer, that interacts with the community, is not from an English speaking country. Also, the motion motion capture team is based of out of Japan and their multiplayer servers are with the same pod that does their motion capture work.My point was that they mentioned the company offering them 15 million USD wanted to publish the game on their storefront.
.....
There's Epic, who do have a storefront and are known to pay developers to have their games released (exclusively) on their store, but as you mention, they're on record saying that they won't have porn games on the store.
I can't really think of anyone else in business currently that has the infrastructure or money in place to do something like this, unless it's someone that plans to launch a store in the future.
To add to that, they were talking about it being cross platform. As far as I know, Epic isn't as cross platform store on other consoles.
You don't have to believe what Project H tells people; that is your choice. But he gains nothing from discussing it. His Discord community is very active as it is.
Project H on Discord said:Project Helius: @Updates Okay so we took some time to discuss with the investor, here's what they want:
A UE5 project with both SFW and NSFW versions
The game will be cloud based and will serve as one of the major titles of their next gen video game streaming service, which means it can be accessed from consoles, mobile phones and pc
The NSFW version will only be accessible on PC, however the player data is shared across all platforms
They also inclined to make it F2P(edited)
