The option to buy slaves early on makes lots of sense for the plot. He's new in the country, he's following customs, he's outright given one slave and an ex-slave is his secretary. Then he learns more about how slavery is done, starts to dislike it all, meets fucking Trello, etc etc.Some of the early in-game options were from a time when the game was more sandbox and the MC had virtually no personality beyond getting laid. The last few updates, the MC has discovered he has an opinion of his own - separate from what choices we might have opted for earlier game.
One of those opinions is that he doesn't care for slavery. So now, in retrospect, the option to buy slaves and actually treat them as such doesn't make sense. I don't know if Runey has specifically said he plans to remove it, but I know several of us have theorized it'll happen simply because it no longer makes sense narratively to have it.
I agree that there should be the option to switch from mean slaver route to nice slaver route, though. THAT would complete the bit above. Progress in Lin's storyline far enough, or something like that and you can be like "oh shit, my bad, I bought into this whole corrupt system. Now that I know more about you and your culture, I shouldn't have been doing this shit."
Actually, wait, looking at the state of the world today, that's super unrealistic, aint it?
