Jesus christ, you must have written a book on straw man arguments, because that was the largest paragraph of bullshit I've read in a while. I never said I want ALL options. I said that the addition of options is always good. And i explained why. And i even said that it does mean more work. It is much easier to add in branching paths once you have already committed to making branching paths, the only downside to this is more work but that is the only one. Because at the end of the day more choice means more players can experience a story the way they want, meaning more people can enjoy it and avoid the things they do not enjoy. You seem to think that adding more choices implies adding in a choice for everything at every turn. It doesn't. It would be really cool to do that, but it's not feasible. But adding in path choices IS very doable. MANY games on this site in fact have done and still do this. It isn't like there are a thousand girls in this like something like wvm or grandmas house or one of the other mega harem games around. It's a fairly reasonable cast that you could write in choices in a reasonable manner to allow for people to not pursue some characters while going after others, and based on certain characters personalities not include them in certain options as it would not make sense unless they write in something that happens to change that dynamic.You seem to be just blind. I gave you an argument in terms of production cost. And I gave you an argument in terms of the effect the developer wants to give to the player. Acting Lessons is among the best example of this.
You are just throwing a tantrum saying "i want all options". Sometimes those additional options can reduce the experience.
This paragraph proves to me you have 0 idea of how it works. Adding several real options has an exponential growth. If you have 2 choices, you have 2 paths. If you add another choice with 2 alternatives, you have 4 paths. Add another choice with another 2 alternatives you have 8. True, not all paths need to be fully unique. But you cannot just simply say "you can just add choices as they have been doing" because precisely if you have already made many paths, adding more is more and more complex.
And time is a resource, computing power is another resource, effort is another resource. Do you really think that they are making all the resources themselves? most images you see have things that are purchased, each image consumes a lot of electricity power to create, and writing takes time. Do you really think supporters will just say "take the time you need for 1000 paths to make? we will be here in 2050.. maybe"
Giving players what they want when they ask for stupid things are precisely what you should say no to. Not every request is sensible. Everybody knows that. For example, players may request you give stuff for free. Is that sensible for a company making money? learn to differentiate. Ubisoft fucked up because they listen to some insensible request. Like make a lot of DEI stuff, instead of focusing on making good games, which sometimes means, you have 0 DEI content, just good content.
Where it says this is a porn game? AFAIK this is an adult visual novel. And f95 is an adult site. Big difference.
And no, not all games will give you fully happy endings in which everyone is happy. Sometimes crap needs to happen. That is precisely like life. Let me tell you something, there is no path in which you can, for example, date Marylin Monroe. It's just not possible. Deal with it.
I could ask you the same, what they fuck are you doing here? game is what it is. Oh wait.. i know what this is. ITS A FUCKING FORUM. The point is discussing the game. Saying what we like and saying what we dislike. Shocking. I know... Do you need a sarcasm sign?
As for the resource argument. That's just you blowing hot air. They do not have share holders or a board of directors to please, so as long as they communicate with backers and keep a stable income, that resource use is stable and fine. So again, there is no reason to use lack of resources to say they can't do something. They have all of the tools required to do what they need to do already, and any assets they can't or do not want to make themselves they can buy or have commissioned with the income they are making, which is exactly what that income is for, to keep working on the project and eventually release it in full.
Now please explain what "stupid" things people are asking for here? What are these "no" requests you seem to think are being made? Are people asking for all the girls to suddenly grow dicks and fuck the mc? Are they asking for men to be in the harem? Maybe vore? No. Just some extra choices in a harem game, which in most cases revolve around choices in trying to get the girl to add into the harem, unless it's a kinetic novel with zero choice from the start.
And yes. Nearly everything on this site is porn. If you don't think so, go and play this in public and see how that goes, and please take video of the outcome, it would be funny to see how passersby react to you fucking a demon women in a game on a laptop in some cafe or park somewhere. Saying this is not porn is just a semantics argument, and a wrong one at that.
And your monroe example is flawed. No, flat out wrong. We are not talking about options involving literally impossible things. We are talking about conversations with a person that can lead to different outcomes. Saying there is no chance to fuck marylin monroe is such a disingenuous take to make. Like yeah, she's fucking dead , that's not the kind of best outcome we are talking about, and you know it.
And yes, this is a forum. A forum for a game with a focus on harem. So yeah, what are you doing here if you don't like these things or at least seem not to? That's like going onto the forum for a game with heavy ntr and complaining it doesn't have any vanila sex where the main character beats up the guy cucking him and taking back his love interest. It's just not on the table to begin with. So getting into an argument about it is just plain dumb. Like saying yeah i don't like this is one thing, but going on and on about why and how and what it should be like some of these people are about the harem needing to be removed, like why even bother chiming in at that point? It's not a product for them, nor was it ever, and trying to advocate for that to change is just plain silly.
