Even without that nightmare fuel it's still annoying as shit. When getting into a story from just reading and making some choices I don't want anything else, at the very least it reduces immersion even if it doesn't completely break it like grinding mmo-style would. I mean if this was a VR AVN just clicking places on an island map it would be like suddenly getting superpowers (that you didn't ask for or expect) that allows you to fly high above it, or teleportation ability where you just click a spot on a mapquest map on your phone and, boom, you're there. It's hard to explain clearer, but to me it's similar to that.
pfft, is that all? That's not even shill reviewing. Probably most devs that have a Discord in effect have done something similar to get people to review it. Usually not outright paying people to leave 5*'s but "like, review and subscribe!" is a meme at this point. I mean quite a few devs have similar promos on their private SS pages somewhat often if one is already subbed. EG: "Leave 5* on F95zone (or their main AVN promo site if not allowed here) and get bumped up a tier free for the next 2 months!" Amazon is full of such "bribes". Buy a mediocre-to-poor product from some Chinese seller and they often offer you 30-50% refund if you delete your negative review.They said they would release the game early if 10 people put 5 Star Reviews on here!

I think if that was truly the case they'd simply ban Inceton and all of their games. They certainly wouldn't be the first developer.
Yeah that's Inceton for you, hot girls, stupid development decisions. Seems the few devs that consistently finish one AVN after another only make one good one and then go down hill from there. For this one it was Summer With Mia 1-2, Daniels K was Pine Falls 1-2, etc.
Mia sissoring Summer?Wait is her name really summer? Then they could do a special render of Summer with Mia
what some have been doing lately is keeping the game on their servers with a monthly sub to that, even when it's not really an MMO. No pay = no access, and very seldom do hackers get in and copy it to make their own private server (the few that have tried that ended up in prison, with probably Kim Dotcom ending up as his celly).
Except when all their current offerings suck. I unsubbed after SWM 2 was completed. Was gonna sub again if they ever added an SS option for this (just a matter of time before Patreon bans relationship setters too), but then they added a sandbox. Glad my wallet dodged that bullet.

Those that aren't MMO's still get cracked to bypass login servers.
Nothing, and I really do mean nothing, will stop piracy.
A couple of WoW private servers were shut down, at least 50 more still exist if not more.
They could start asking for personal ID card scans, retina scans and fingerprints every time you log in from your phone (same ones that unlock your phone, if that's enabled), so unless someone stole your eyes and fingers (along with your identity and phone) a login crack wouldn't help much as far as mass free access for everyone, as those are unique to you. I imagine such measures probably aren't too far off if investor meeting annoucements of such bump up share price. Sure, one could argue it would invade privacy, but most don't care about things like privacy, EULA's or other legalese or what they agree to and tend to just click agree without reading much when all they wanna do is play a game. I mean how often does someone break into the Pentagon's servers to steal classified info (we wanna see the aliens in Area 51, dammit!)? Even the entire Chinese gov't has trouble doing that (though they've briefly done it a few times, through human error on the US's end), nevermind some yokels on PC's with too much time on their hands. Granted it just comes down to how much of their profits they wanna spend on military-grade security when even the DHS can't even crack their own govt's AES-256 encryption (they save everyone's encrypted traffic to crack later, even though any data they read will probably be long-obsolete by then). After a point the piracy is just cheaper to put up with so is accepted as an included cost with profit projections.

I suppose you are not aware that all that is transformed into data in a server somewhere. They don't need your eyes or your fingers, just the data. Also, after that data is compromised, what do you do? Change eyes and fingers? ALL databases are insecure. ALL. So, before you give unchangeable information to anyone, remember this: Everything is DATA, and data can be copied, transferred, sold, stolen, given, blackmailed, intercepted, etc...
I've been on this since the early 80's, there has never been a system that wasn't defeated, simply because, there's one thing called human error. All it takes is the janitor to click on a link in his phone while connected to the office network. That's it. Done.
The whole premise is wrong. It is futile to fight against piracy. They may win initially, but when they eventually go down, a lot more goes with it.
A few points to consider:
- Piracy isn't a problem, it's an opportunity.
- A pirate is not a thief is a failed customer.
- Copied data is NOT stolen, no one removed the original.
- The money spent in this "Security Theater" could very well go to development.
- When business owners speak of losses to piracy, they are talking about "dreamed" profits instead of real loss.
- Piracy is the result of a badly made business model.
Peace
P.S.: Not available to explain any of the points above, use your own brains and look for the information.
nothing here or on the website that confirms or deny so that kinda sucks.

Majority of their fanbase are cucks, so getting cucked with content probably turns them on as well, I would not be surprised they like edging with the extra 20 clicks in Sandbox between moving the scenes along
There has never been an Inceton game, no matter how promising the start(or where is it plagiarized from) that doesn't end in complete shitshow, yet they keep failing upwards because drooling morons keep throwing money at them to get their stupid kink fix.

the moment they posted that, 5* reviews started flooding the thread, review tampering is review tampering.(although no one seems to mind Oppaiman doing it, they literally became millionaires by review brigading on every platform, so maybe you have a point...) They knew full well what was going to be the result of the 'joke' .
@ numbnuts that claims 'the sandbox is not that bad, there are worse', the best sandbox in the world is still a VN with 5 extra unnecessary clicks added on top of it.
> Exit bedroom, go through the living room, go to the hallway, go outside, click map, click John's house on the map VS one click on a option on screen to visit John, I wonder which one fucks with the flow of the story the most
There is no point in doing it other than wasting people's time, its a relic of game design that should be left dead in 2016. You want to game-ify your story? Go for RPGM, or better yet, Unreal. Renpy is not the engine for that crap.
Seems they got what they wanted anyway, now locked at 4.5*'s. Probably a better option for would be to simply delete all reviews and then lock it (so simply perma no reviews or * rating). As is for those that don't bother reading all the bitching everyone is doing and haven't heard of Inceton before the rating alone makes it look like the best top 10% of every AVN ever made.the moment they posted that, 5* reviews started flooding the thread, review tampering is review tampering.(although no one seems to mind Oppaiman doing it, they literally became millionaires by review brigading on every platform, so maybe you have a point...)
