That and some payments will fail to process. You might get some of those back if patrons update their payment information. As for the game's earnings, you made content choices that limited your game's earning potential. I commented on it a long time ago. I track your patron count, and others, because I believed that certain content choices have negative financial effects and I track the patron counts to determine if I am right. I do it just to satisfy my curiosity. Making projections about consumer behavior was once a part of what I did for a living. The subject still interests me.
You're exactly right. Being a contrarian curmudgeon (stubborn old bastard), I purposely made those choices when I started this labor of love.
I know the template to sucess,
1. Dopey icel teenaged boy.
2. Dead or dumb fuck father.
3. Hot, but bitchy older sister.
4. Sexually curious redheaded middle sister.
5. Loli youngest sister.
6. MILF mom that has been neglected or has low self-esteem.
7. Sleeping pills or mind control powers.
8. Throw in a hot Aunt and cousins to keep milking when you are tapped out on content with the family.
9. CHA-CHING! Rake in the cash...

Single dad and daughters and High School or University theme.
*Yawn* It's been done to death. I wanted to do something different. I have a story to tell and thankfully I'm at a place in my life that I don't need the money to live on. My wife would like it to at least cover computer up grades, DAZ assets, etc.
She'd shit if she knew what I've really spent... Damn! I haven't told her about the subscription I just took out for music and sound effects. Oh well.
As it is, it's a fun hobby. It challenges me to learn new things and is a pleasant distraction from this fucked up world.
Bottom line is, I'm not going anywhere. I already have chapter two rattling around in my gourd.
Take care.
