I honestly think that SOME of the reactions Sumo got were deserved.
Let's be honest. His story wasn't good, him avoiding the storylines people wanted (and likely paid him for) was ridiculous. Sure, if his description had a note that "In this game, while there are taboo aspects, don't expect to get on with your family", then he could've had a reason to be pissed off at the "entitled haters", but as far as I saw, that was not the case.
Sumo went through so much trouble to set up taboo situations, it was clear that the sister also had a craving for the MC, but not having a payoff is basically like turning you into a cuckold. Sure, it may not an issue for some, but it's niche even for this forum.. I'd say that traps might be a lot more popular than cuckolds on this forum, but just the point was that it's a very specific niche to cockblock the whole taboo side in a story that seems to obviously be heading into the taboo destination. People here do tend to enjoy their porn games, and if you try to ram us in the ass with that "twist", try and lube us up first.
Hence it was horrendous situation of overpromises and under delivering.
I don't think there were too many "death threats" or harassment campaigns going on against him. Don't think I saw a "Change.org" petition either, so I think that the harassment wasn't as bad as some people seem to try and claim.
I think Sumo might've got a good wake up call here, and maybe he will know how to set better expectations in the future. As someone who makes content on the internet, hearing "feedback" (Or well, angry comments) is something you will learn how to deal with. You can shut them out and maybe still be successful, or maybe you might be able to improve in setting expectations (or maybe craft your story in a way that the angry ppl wouldn't be so angry). I think that this update was a step in the right direction.
Anyway, this was an interesting thread to read.
