Even that young, considering how Noriko is now, I would not eliminate the possibility just yet. As far as we know, her craziness could have been a part of her personality from the very beginning. That makes even a nine year old Noriko very dangerous with the right tools.
Yuki is definitely another possibility considering her connections to the Yakuza lifestyle, where killing is among many options they won't hesitate to use, and her addiction that led to Yumi's situation. She could have done it in a withdrawal induced rage.
That's putting it mildly, he was under no obligation to offer a free release at all and could have kept it entirely behind the pay wall his patron releases are behind now. We're lucky to be getting the game at all and I would not only not mind, I would be freaking ecstatic if it never leaked. Think you mean public release, by the way, since patron releases are what are getting leaked. Leaking before a patron release would require getting control of Selebus's computer and uploading a completely unfinished release of the game for free.

Please don't do this. This ain't nice, and to be blunt, you're the reason why good creators get depressed. Show some basic human dignity, please >_<
And develop enough discipline to be able to wait 2 weeks for a game! Seriously, it ain't hard...my 7-year-old nephew was able to wait a MONTH (2 week s* 2) for his parents to buy him the action figure he wanted...
Also, your quote makes me think you're a republican
Biden't not listening, alright? If you're scared, contact me or some reputable person. We got facts to dispel your fears

Yup. More security theater to convince people that they are safer with more restrictions.
Back in the early days of porn, it was very rare to find a film developing house would process pornography. That left an exploitable opportunity for organized crime. Once things moved over to San Fernando Valley and things moved from film to video, the influence of organized crime was diminished.

Actually, I will go ahead and respond to the rest of this as well.Please don't do this. This ain't nice, and to be blunt, you're the reason why good creators get depressed. Show some basic human dignity, please >_<

It is nice, it is nice to the people who spend their own money so that the rest of us don't have to, it would be basic human dignity to respect and appreciate them for taking the blow. Don't really feel like tackling the whole "this is why people get depressed" topic since it's just there to be "malicious"
Why would I wait 2 weeks for a game that I can instead get in 0 - 5 days? Of course it isn't hard but it's absolutely pointless and the only reason to do it is for some delusional sense of a moral high ground which would just make you come off as extremely pretentious.
The whole action figure comparison REALLY isn't good at all. He had to wait because he had no other way to get it, alternatively if you wanted an actual comparison that would work here it would be that he could wait a month to get an action figure, or he could just get it instantly for no downside to him. You'd only wait for the action figure if you wanted to do it to reward yourself, but since I don't particularly know the context of the situation I wouldn't know if it was supposed to be a reward or just something he wanted.
also i cannot believe you called me a republican, this is the meanest thing you've ever said to anyone and you should apologize profusely.
Because you can't wait two weeks?
{Edit} Never mind, I saw your response to the other people, so now I am clear on the kind of person you are.

Yes! I am the type of person who would prefer not to wait two weeks for nothing else other than to make myself feel higher than others. How dare ((((others)))) play the game early when I didn't! They must be morally bankrupt!
I am also the type of person who appreciates leakers for what they do, they have no reason to help the rest of us, but they do, and it's great to be thankful towards them for that.

Selebus also has no reason to release the game for free but he does, and yet you're not thankful to him for that at all.
I'm not telling you how to live your life, if you want to play the leaked version or not that's up to you, but saying stuff like "I would very much dislike if it was never leaked." is just being an asshole.
I could understand your stance if this was a game that was forever behind a paywall, but it's not. This isn't about you being thankful to the leakers, it's you being self-entitled.

There is a big difference between thinking you're entitled to something and then just doing something because you want to.
This would be the latter case. The word self-centered would have made a much better argument and point though.
Why wait? Because it is the right thing to do, perhaps? It isn't pointless, the point is to show respect to developers by waiting until they are ready to give it for free so the people who actually pay for the privilege of getting it early actually get it early. As it is now, we barely get it a few hours before the free players entirely because of these leaks and, since the only real point in being a patron benefits wise is the earlier release for this project, it takes away the incentive to be a patron for anyone who needs more than just wanting to support to be one.
You seem to be missing a point to this conversation, there IS a downside to the leaks, it incentivizes the developer to quit by causing them undue stress. That affects not just patrons, but everyone who plays the game, including people who play free whether legitimate or leaked.
Also, if you think being called a Republican is bad, just wait until you hear what actual Republicans, myself included, get called on a daily basis. Not that I care who calls me what, they can call me the worst names or whatever in the English language and it won't phase me.
So you appreciate that they incentivize the game being put on long term hold if not shut down entirely by the developer for potentially stress related, or other, reasons?
Indeed, thank you Selebus for being so generous over the more than a year of this game's development.
This part I agree on, entitled would mean you think you have some sort of right to get for free what others pay for. You have been very clear this is not the case.

Actually, the action figure analogy stands. My nephew has his allowance; he easily could've bought it with his own money. OR, he could wait a month and get his parents to buy it (so he gets it for free).
Also, from my experience, Republicans are usually the inpatient types, the one's who don't understand others' feelings. Isn't that what you're doing, especially when you can't wait for a game that gets published for free in 2 weeks?
You even had to drag politics into this, blows my fucking mind. Guess what, America isn't the center of the universe, weird huh?Please don't do this. This ain't nice, and to be blunt, you're the reason why good creators get depressed. Show some basic human dignity, please >_<

You're typing this on a forum dedicated to piracy. You're typing this on a forum dedicated to piracy. You're typing this on a forum dedicated to piracy.
Rockstar saying they spent 100K on DRM for GTA 4 only motivated crackers to get to work. This constant bitching and moaning from the both of you could have the same effect, so if you really care, just freaking stop.
You've both made your opinions very clear. We got it! You're not helping.

Not that it matters what this forum is dedicated to, just because it has that purpose means nothing. No, stopping would mean we DON'T care because we are letting things go on without a word. Helping isn't even the point and if you really want us to stop, then don't give us a reason. Piracy is a very real threat to this game just like it is any other one man game and we treat it as such. I'll admit it, I am a pirate of necessity, I pirate when I have no other choice other than to ignore a game I really want to play. Before I found this game worth the money, and that's an understatement, I did pirate even this. I stopped when the game won me over, instantly, and immediately went to subscribe at the next available opportunity.
We say things like this because the last thing we want is for this game to cease public availability, or worse, development entirely, which is a very real threat for any developer due to the stress induced by piracy.
It's one thing when a game has no means other than paying for it, but this is free after two weeks, no strings attached. You get literally everything the patrons do at every public release, there is no patron exclusive content in game, all you have to do is wait two weeks. That's why we complain, because piracy isn't even needed to play for free, only patience is needed.

Even with the added context, the action figure analogy still doesn't stand because he's still having to pay for it, there is no payment required to download a leak.
I don't know why you're particularly trying to strawman politically illiterate Americans but whatever.

If selebus ends up quitting due to the stress of piracy I will sure be glad that I didn't decide to support a game which claims to already be fully funded, though at the same time if the game finishes I'll probably give him $20 if possible. (mostly if paypal decides to keep being a shitty platform or not)
Most things republicans get called are just the first buzzword that comes to somebody's mind, perhaps malicious but not particularly bad as buzzwords never are. Disingenuously having my political beliefs assumed because of a status is a bit lame one way or the other though.
Speaking of republicans, when does this game get anal sex?

the later the better, i do not particularly like anal sex and this is one of those games where I can't just skip or not get a scene.
