That would only explain Patreon though. As far as I can find, Subscribestar has no issues with most if not any "problematic" content.
I suppose the other advantages to Steam is that it's one-time purchase instead of subscription based. Perhaps he's just moving away from subscription based models in general. So perhaps it's not entirely because of the incest stuff.

And subscribestar is pretty shit for users and for devs (I've never spoken to a single one that thought it was helpful), so the latest update might just be the perfect time to make the move. :)

Yes, respectfully, you did fail. I can explain why I think this is the case. (put in spoilers for those who haven't played the game yet)
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Anyway, this wasn't to belabor my point, just wanted to clarify it.

All in all I think you've created something you can be proud of.
While Jamie is a nepo baby, the story reinforces her exceptional ability. Yes, one could argue that Jamie clerked for circuit and SC judges after graduation because she's a Carrington. However, the story clearly indicates she likely got those roles because of her exceptional ability - top of her class at Harvard and wrote an opinion less than two years out of law school that will probably be adopted as a standard by the courts.

The story also suggests Jamie wants to obtain her goals based on her abilities, despite being a Carrington. Witness those occasions in the dialogues where Jamie gets annoyed when Rockford labors the point that she's a Carrington. Never once has she thrown her family name around.

You are right that her family name offers opportunities others would dream of, but I get the impression she mostly wants to achieve her goals through her abilities, not by using the family name.

I wonder why Monk is doing this.

iirc in one of his older updates he broke down the financials of the game, he basically loses money, so he's got a story to tell but it's a side project If he plans to slow down dev but "eventually finish the game", he may not want people to throw money at him on a monthly basis.

I also think the AVN market on patreon peaked awhile ago and this game doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

I don't know about subscribestar, but Patreon is extremely against incest, so that might be a reason.
I'm not sure it's really the same thing in this story's scenario, since they didn't find out their relation until after the act. Monk said he wasn't going to make the story about kinks, so that tells me that this event will be a one-time "mistake", or the test results were flawed/falsified.

Regardless, it's just strange to announce pulling the plug on both platforms before there's even an issue/question. SubscribeStar likely would allow it, even if Patreon wouldn't.

IM stated here that there is no mistake or flaw or reveal, the test is correct and they are related. Not those exact words, but that was the gist of it.

Nope, Monk said it is real. It's not incest for me, since I was not romancing/sexing up Emmie, but if you did, then it is incest. Incest doesn't care if you know or not. Oedipus didn't know he married his mom, but it was so horrifying when he found out that he put his own eyes out.



It's not really catering to a kink, if it isn't knowing, though. It's really an interesting dramatic beat. Everything changed for the MC, yet nothing really changed.

With mistake I guess Spock meant the incest-sex and not the test. I don't think they will continue on that route, unless MC suddenly changes his stance on incest when it concerns him.

Right, I meant the act being a mistake once they discover that they are related. Since the story is not kink-focused I can't imagine the two continuing a romance afterwards.

Yeah, I got that bit.

Sorry, I should have been clearer, I was referring to your comment that maybe the "test results were flawed/falsified", and letting you know that they definitely weren't. :)

We get your point, but what if the dev mixed things up and he made a mistake and indeed they are not related? It's possible! :cool:

not exactly... she is planning to leave for a new job, but at the end of last update she is still there. We'll see what happens.

Not yet, but she's going to, it's about her career opportunity. Rockford has a week or so to decide what he's going to do about it.
