Some takes here are something. Did anybody even bother to look at the feedback the Gym Beta got? The vast majority didn't demand a rework or something. They just wanted some sort of gameplay added that is more in line with what KP is about. And there were multiple ideas people were throwing around, that would not need any more CGs or voicework or anything.
Also just as a Side Note, the idea that they wanted the Gym to be something unique and different, well they failed in achieving that. It is basically Glory Hole 2.0, with that the Desire System is pointless, as a pure Karryn there is no reason to do the Side Job and as a Slut Karryn you just pick what you want to see, for no real reason other to look at pretty pictures. Also there is no direction on what you should do. You just do stuff. That is why the Side Job gets stale extremly fast.
