Twenty bucks are nothing, but my problem is with the principle.
In theory, I find the idea of subsidising the development of a porn game completely absurd.
Then EK emerges, and clearly she's 200 leagues above any of the crap in this industry, because she precisely does not come from this industry, she is a graphic designer and digital marketer and a real artist who could not eat in Spain, like most (I work in management, last time I was on holiday in Spain in one week I had 100 CVs under the door of my hotel room, literally the whole town had someone in the family begging for a job).
She comes across porn games, she realises that the format is not that despicable and she can bring quality to the whole thing. She delivers GGGB which is pure virtuosity and one billion times more sophisticated than anything that was ever developed in the genre, gets people completely estranged from this world like myself lean into it, then follows it up by sth even more promising, ORS. And finally, she can eat.
Then people like me, who don't even like porn, may even consider supporting her. I mean, people who would never pay for a porn website membership, she could bring them to consider to finance the development of a f.cking porn game.
But then, I suppose, reality strikes back. As a great statesman once said, "facts are stubborn".
The fact of the matter is that EK is not a porn game developer. She is a digital artist who needed to eat, and as a real artist, any porn game she would have developed would have been of better standard than anything else I could name.
But it is not what she is. A bit like vanilla Lena going on Stalkfap and sticking to tasteful nudes.
The truth is that GGGB was a very good parody, and as a parody could be developed quite smoothly because beyond all its virtuosity, it was second-degree at all times, and you could not take it seriously. ORS is 1st degree, and in the first chapters EK was writing sincere content.
Then, to please the people feeding her, she had to go into things that are not her. Twofold consequence: the writing is not as good, and she takes milleniums to complete it, because she is beyond what she is required to do to eat.
Coming to think of it, EK is like Lena who would dream to survive with Shine Again but ends up stuffing dildos in her pussy on Stalkfap to pay the rent.
This is why we have such a long wait between updates. Because EK is trying to be someone she's not, and, to please her patreons, trying to be a lesser person than she is.
Allison seems the obvious answer, right?
