That's what I have a hard time to understand. How is it sacrificing variety, content, possibilities by adding yet ANOTHER path ???
It was the same (bad) excuses with gay wedding. "Oh but my rights for marriage". They're not taking anything away from you, we're just adding more rights to more people. It would be exactly the same with adding some bi-curious/gay path for Ian.
Why is it that some people think it has to be done at the exclusion of anything else ?
Is it because you'd have to show a little bit more patience to get what YOU are interested by ? But what about those who'd like to get that stuff ?
I'm not interested by it. Frankly, gay sex is not my thing, I've never been gay curious and I wouldn't play that path if it were to be available. But would I support it if Eva decided to include it ? Of course yes. First, it's her game, she gets to decide what's in it. Secondly, I'm all for variety. If some are interested (and it looks like there is interest judging by the last couple of comments) I say go for it !
You sacrifice those attributes in other routes. Eva has already mentioned multiple time how she had to cut content and ideas out of GGGB because of its great complexity, and that that was also why some characters essentially disappeared. When you are working with limitied resources, everything comes with an opportunity cost. Do you really have a hard time understanding that, if, for example, Eva didn't develop the thug route in GGGB, that time could have been directly employed in improving some other route?
Your gay marriage parallell is bizarre, the development of an adult game and human rights are not comparable at all. Granted, I was not invested in the gay marriage debate, but I highly doubt the most pronounced argument against it was that it was impeding on heterosexuals' right to get married.
It has to be done at the exclusion of something, either content or quick updates. You're right in that Eva could simply spend a longer time on the project to include more things, but at some point, I also think she wants to finish it. I mean, there was a reason why she cut ideas out of GGGB, because at some point you have to draw the line so you don't keep going for all eternity. You're also right in saying that I wouldn't want to wait longer for the current content we have and that I like. I simply don't think that tradeoff is worth it for something only smaller group would enjoy. "What about those who'd like to get that stuff?", you ask. Well, what about those who want to see Ian turned into a girl? What about those who wants to see beastiality? What about those who want to see scat? You can call me selfish all you want, but the game cannot appeal to every single fetish or sexual preference.
Some people are for it, yes. I don't know how representative those people are of the whole population, though. Certainly, if you only follow the media, it would seem impossible that someone like Trump could ever be president, yet still, he clearly has enormous support by the people in the U.S. And as I said before, I doubt how many people would vote for a gay route when it is contrasted to longer update times or an exclusion of other content.
Of course, Eva will be the one to ultimately decide, at which point I and the rest of her patrons will decide on what they want to do with their pledge.
