That survey was started before the update was planned for a release on December 10th at max, so the tiers risking not playing it before Christmas were Scarlett's (26th) and Free players (29th).
I got to finish it on December 8th (fast work by native proofreaders and beta-testers, and a couple of nights with little(r) sleep on my part), so Scarlett's wasn't at risk anymore even if every Tier voted against it. But I kept the survey alive because of two reasons:
* It was fair for every paying Tier to get the game earlier after the great response the survey is having (212 votes for renouncing that exclusivity day, 5 votes against). There is still the possibility of everyone who still hasn't voted to vote against and it would turn the result in some of the Tiers, so that's why I haven't published definitive dates.
* I also want the Free Players to be able to play the update before Christmas. Even if Christmas is the excuse for a big part of the update, it has a story importance for most of the characters that you will discover in the last scenes. And having the girls say "Merry Christmas" on the 26th... isn't the same
I'm very proud of this update. Not only because it's the first time an update has more than 2,000 stills and more than a total of 4,000 renders counting animated frames, or because it's the first time an update surpasses the 26,000 words. It's because the beta testers have said it has been an emotional rollercoaster through the length of the update. It has, not in my words, (a little) drama, (Emma's) comedy, (a lot of) surprises, a tender part... and, obviously, lewd scenes.
I hope you enjoy the update.
