summertime saga has early sex with mom and is one of the most successful games. even despite the endless reworks of old content.I'm sure that devs know that once the MC nails the primary love/lust interest (eg. mom, aunt, landlady, etc...) that interest in their game begins to wane, thus reducing their related income as well. Therefore, I doubt we'll see the MC fuck the bejebbers out of Melinda anytime soon!![]()
what summertime saga lacks though is the endless grind without a clear upside. there's only 10 points to max your stats and you're done forever. which also makes replaying it so much less of an obstacle because it's more like re-reading your favourite book than a daunting grind of boredom to suffer through.
both of these are things every dev should take to heart. not to copy or even to avoid grind necessarily, but to not base those choices on failed milking logic when in reality it's driving people away.
