Bro, it was still on Patreon at that point. He definitely didn't say that there.

I don't mean to be rude, but No Shit, Sherlock! Of course he didn't say something on Patreon that would directly violate TOS! Someone can look up a screenshot from Discord, he said it there. Back in the Patreon days he said that it would be an optional patch, but since he got booted - he went back on the whole "patch" thing and it will just be in the main game. That's it.
My point is that he didn't say that anywhere that I would've read it. In other words, it wasn't a flaw in my logic, it was information that I didn't have any reason to have.
Do you join the discord of every game you play? Should that be mandatory? I mean, this is a pretty extreme edge case where the natural assumption that a game wouldn't put content in that would violate the TOS of the major platform it was monetized on was only contradicted in the game's optional social hub.

Alright, fair enough, I suppose. If I don't see it then it doesn't exist.
Again, no judgement, you just didn't see the warning from Sel.
But I mean, come on! How did you not see that shit coming?! Wizard Maya flashbacks, Chinami stuff, Uta picture, his own fucking past of sexual abuse as a child (which is like textbook definition of a future predator/pedophile/maniac) - none of those things didn't raise any flags?
Or did you think that "Oh, okay, so we know one of the girls used to do CP, main character used to be in a relationship with a Wizard and he was molested since infancy until like early twenties - SURELY, that's where it's gonna stop, right? There is absolutely no way that one of the key traumas of this game which is sexual abuse of underaged girls and boys, in case you missed it will continue to be explored and brought to light. Nope."
I didn't know that there would be Wizard content back in 2021. Or back in 2020 when I found this game. Or in Summer 2023 when I finally read it till the current content. But the fucking flashback of Maya told me everything I needed to know.

As a participatory act? Yeah, I still thought that the line would be drawn short of that. It was this update that made it clear to me that I was wrong. If I missed or misunderstood signs earlier due to naive optimism, it doesn't really change anything besides the timing and Sel getting another $50 out of me that would've gone to a different game instead. (If you're curious, I moved my sub money over to Disassociation). Not the end of the world.
I mean I don't really get why we're trying to pretend he's actually doing anything really meaningful. Ok, he ran away because he has some semblance of common human decency, but why did he call Tsukasa in the first place? Why does he keep willingly hanging out with underage girls despite knowing what type of person he is? The decision really isn't hard - either he commits to not harming anyone, or he risks scarring a child for life. And the fact that MANY times in the series he is fully willing to put a child in harms way to satisfy himself is quite frankly abhorrent.
I mean, we'll see where it goes. But there's many directions as I mentioned earlier that can make the story seem like a complete joke. And one of those is downplaying the agency of the literal "wizard" rapist (which also happens to be a fantasy for predators!).
As I see it and as Sel's way of thinking seems to me, I would say that it is not Akira who chose to call tsukasa, but it is us who guide Akira through our curiosity and desire to make events happen. Honestly, it seems to me that many times Akira is nothing more than a puppet in our hands, and Sel's characters are above us like gods.
I'm waiting to see if Sel actually follows through on the hints that wizard Maya seduced Akira.
the discussion here reminded me about this bit (Louis C.K.). first 2 minutes:

I haven't played this game or looked at this thread in a while so did they get costumes or did the story go crazy or something, why is everyone talking about wizards?
Also, any ideas about how close the game is to completion? I haven't played it in a few years but if it's gonna be done in a few months I can wait til then.

Wizard content is no named because Chinami calls herself a 5000 year old wizard, it's community shorthand for loli content. The game will not be completed for more than a few years at a minimum.
count the stars in the sky, you will probably finish the game before
bullshit, i give it 3-4 years max if the current speed is maintained, the guy is not yandere dev after all

I dunno Sel said the game was around 20-25% complete which was said around version 26.0 part 1 or 2 which was 2 years ago or 12/13 updates ago which is a little bit after the start of Chapter 3 if I'm not mistaken(correct me if I'm wrong). If I had to estimate were probably pushing around 35-40% complete which is a highball estimate.

Where are Maya and Ami? I honestly can't recognize the place.
In short, there was still about 6 to 7 years left before this was over?
Well, it looks like I'm going to spend a lot of my life playing this.
