Wasn't this game solely focused on Kate to begin with? I'd never played any of DS's games before so didn't even know who max was apart from being super cringe, literally avoided all his content right from the get go until he was forced on you.
And wasn't the game originally about some exclusive S&M club and the college existing to train the girls for it resulting in Kate staying to find someone's relative? seemed like a real D*ck move changing the entire direction of the game a good ways through so not really surprised it started to fail, either do one or the other, if you mix it up then naturally your gonna lose at least half your followers, doesn't take a genius to figure that out
