the actual reason why so many AVN's get abandoned is purely because they're all the works of the sexual fantasies of their developers. And we all know such fantasies don't last very long, before we come up with something new.
so the devs quickly lose steam, because they're over with that fantasy. there's no inspiration left, and continuing it makes them feel forced about their own sexual desires. it's psychologically very heavy to alot of people.
double that with the fact that virtually all of their monetization platforms are subscription based. meaning they don't really have to deliver in a timely manner, in order to get paid. it's literally enough to give the apearance of working hard towards the next update.
most AVN's get abandoned. yes, most. alot of them don't make it past a couple updates, because the dev has gotten their fantasy out as far as they care.
most AVN's, that have a longer life, start with frequent updates that are of a decent size. both of which start to wind down after the first updates, because the dev loses steam.
but the wankers will keep paying.
most people don't seem realize that at the end of the development cycle (meaning when the game is completed never) they've paid more for a 3D porn slideshow than they would ever pay for a AAA title.
this is why it's so lucrative to so many devs. these have the potential of relatively high return for a very low effort production.
and because as I said, wankers will keep coming back and paying for more.
AVN's are just a step above actual porn productions. and porn is ridiculously easy to make.
