That is just factually not true, tess has canon paths for both sides, so both sub and dom are canon, and if you want to make a case for only one path is canon, it would be the submissive side because the game started out as a femdom game, and she added a dom side because a femdom only game would not make as much money. But to say that only the dom side is the canon is just wrong and ignorant.
First off, Tess has never said (not in this thread, Discord, or anywhere else) that she makes her game for money. On the contrary, as you probably know, her game is first and foremost a hobby and a favorite brainchild that is not her livelihood, as is the case with many other AVN indie devs.
As for "adding the Dom route(s)", it originally existed in the KG, so from the beginning we had 2 main paths (Dom&Sub) in the game with with many additional paths/branches. As for "why a femdom-oriented game has dom content at all", according to Tess, she's convinced that a really good femdom game can't consist of only femdom (AFAIR, Tess says this in the intro to the game).
So the point was not about money (Tess has said many times that femdom games are a specific genre that doesn't bring the developer much money), but to make the game as very interesting and not one-sided as possible.
As for the canonical ending for both paths (dom and sub), this was said to Tess at the end of March,
and I, as well as some players from the regulars in our thread, participated in that conversation with Tess. And unless I missed something in our thread posts, no player mentioned it after that discord conversation. And the first mention of this decision by Tess was only made today, in my post above... Thus, you can't accuse
Don Sucio of possibly not knowing about it. Many KG players don't log into Discord at all, and that's no reason to poke their nose in the fact that they may have missed some of Tess' posts.
However, we can always talk about Kane's past, because without the past there is no future.. And so far, there's no hint in his past that Kane was inclined to be submissive.That behavioral response has to have some sort of background from childhood, but it just doesn't exist..
If it suddenly turns out that the extremely virtuous Callista was stepping on Kane's head every day and making him kiss her heels after he did all her homework, then I could see where this was coming from, lol...
But there was nothing like that, he really loves his mother who put a lot of effort into him, his "sister" Olivia...he's genuinely ready to protect both of them, he's ready to stand up for his disabled brother and go to jail, but so far I haven't seen anything that would make Kane a Zach-like personality...No, Kane was never like that and that's why his transformation into a sub (
at the player's will) looks too artificial to me.
