So, as the reactions in the thread show just once again, reworks/remasters are incredibly controversial in this kind of community, partly justified due to bad experiences in other games.
That being said, after playing the reworked content:
It's a very clear improvement. It improves the setting, it improves the characters, their relationships, it even adds more sex scenes along it. To the point that I personally think this *is* new content in my eyes.
So, yeah. I'm perfectly fine with it.I don't follow development very closely but some people mentioned a potential Steam relaease, and yeah. Then it makes sense to improve the early parts of the game *before* releasing it on Steam.
-----------------
Also, since some people mentioned there'd be no dark path anymore:
Make sure you have the Subscribestar-Version, put the patch in your game and then it is still there.
You have to be an asshole/rude from the first choices on, presumambly so you have the "Dark points" that actually unlock the specific choices. But then everything is still there and more (like the option to assault/force the brazilian model etc.)
