I don't know why so much hate for the game or the developer's direction so much.
Constructive criticism is one thing, but constantly arguing about whether the developer is an idiot or not is getting boring to read. If it's because they're changing their minds about certain parts of the story... let them do what they want.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I bought the game on itch and GOG (devs, for now, are human beings and need money to live like most people).
I don't feel ripped off. There are very few games with this level of graphics out there. In the end, it's a porn game... and we all know why we're here.
Is like we are all sad because the game is not the same like X years ago.. welp this is the point of a game in the process of development. "The final product may differ from the actual product"
If I don't like a game, I return it or stop playing it. It's that simple. There are plenty of games out there, either available here or bought legally.
