It's because Max's story is just another run-of-the-mill incest game.
Glamour was supposed to be all about Kate (or Alex, basically a genderflip) but then enough people whined at him about BB being cancelled that he slotted BB in instead of continuing with Alex and Kate.
Couple that with how much Max content is being forced into Kate's storyline hand over fist when the game could have just as easily served as two separate products, keeping both parties happy.
But no, as a result of joining the two stories together like this, they're BOTH becoming weaker.
Max does get a lot of hate - and some feel this is right and just - but the majority of the fault lies in giving the $40/month patrons the most voting power. They usually have to choose what they want to see first from a list but it usually boils down to:
A: Penis in Family
B: Penis in Other Character
C: Story but with more Penis
DS says he'll eventually work on all of these but when was the last time he followed through with that?
The blame for all of this is related to the base of his fans who were complaining to him about Kate's story, in which they wouldn't want to play a female protagonist. There are a lot of people like that, who can't have fun in a porn game because they're playing with a female MC. There are also people who are bothered by the developer not putting the player to choose a name, there are players who think they are the character of the game, just visit some forums and you will see this. It's quite surreal!
As for my point of view, I was already realizing the strategy that DS was doing, so as not to have a lot of work in creating two different stories, he preferred to put the two of them together, thus forcing the player to like Max's story, maybe they were tired of creating two stories in one game, or maybe they were wishing their fans would start wanting them to focus on Max's story and leave Kate's story to one side.
Now, I have to say, playing female MC is not my favorite, I even play without problems, but if there is this romance like AWAM or gameplay like Bright Past, I'm out!
Therefore, I even found Kate's story interesting of being a virgin, shy, innocent and being corrupted by her sister Julia. But that didn't go any further, the story ended up straying from focus and entering an unknown abyss, which DS and its writer ended up messing up.
Today, I prefer Max's story, even though she's not very good, I like Ann, Kira and Lisa's renderings, they got better comparing to the old BB, but if we're going to talk about history, there isn't. We know BB has no challenge for Max, he will fuck all the girls and that's it. Some players will get tired, they will say that there is no interesting story, which is true, because the game has already started with the corrupted family, without doing the player's job corrupts it little by little. So don't worry, DS and his team have already shot themselves in the foot.
