What I think

Most of us started playing these games as an alternate to watching porno, but after playing these games for some time, the need to fap becomes secondary and people start caring more about the story, characters and choices than the lewd scenes.
I only started playing these games because my girl and I have been separated due to COVID. She doesn't want to take a chance of us getting together without masks. We haven't even kissed in a year since this whole thing has started.
That's why I started playing them.
I play these games for the stories. For the connections to the girls. If I wanted real porn, there's a fuckton of sites for that. To me, that's just the part of "life" in this game; The story with Caroline especially. In CoBD, the story with Katie, Jill in DIK and so on. The sex just becomes more prominent as the relationship grows. Isn't that what life is?
And if INCSTOR has health issues, there IS a COVID problem in this country. Things could be hampering him.
Just trying to be devil's advocate here.
