Let's get real here. Almost everyone is ready to do whole lot to make their wishes come true. Ian is ready to enter the contest, where only one would win. And in doing so he will create emotional distress for a lots of people!
If you want to get real, then this argument is bull and i'm fairly sure you're well aware of it. People who join a contest know from the get-go there's going to be one winner, and potential disappointment is a part of the competition. Notice how winning in a contest isn't talked about as betraying the trust of other competitors? Unlike fucking one's boyfriend while pretending one's doing no such thing and acting all friendly.
Or Ian fucking Emma? Or Ivy "helping" Holly? Or Lena using Louise? Aren't they all shit human beings then?
Leaving aside dubious nature of these complaints, do any of these make Cherry's actions and personality any less shit? Gillian doesn't somehow become a better person if Lena is
also cheating on Ian while she's in relationship with him.
You don't need to be a psychopath to disregsard someone fellings.
I was referring to your question why Cherry would
feel anything about her actions in the first place. As opposed to feeling something but disregarding these feelings. The former would be psychopathic, the latter is fairly normal and, depending on what sort of harm/actions the person is disregarding, tells us quite a bit about their morality.
Yeah, Cherry did a bad thing, but she fought for the man she wished to be with. That's just her being human. And she is sorry. But what Gillian did is much, much worse. Because while you don't owe anything to some strangers, your friends, family and significant other are another matter entirely.
Cherry didn't fight for the man she wished to be with -- allegedly she only thought she could become Axel's girlfriend after Lena dumped Axel. She just fucked a guy she had crush on while pretending she was doing no such thing. Gillian also fucked a guy she had a crush on, while pretending she was doing no such thing. And she is also sorry about it.
While Gillian hurt a person closer to her, the basic mindset behind Cherry's and Gillian's actions is still the same. If Cherry was put in Gillian's place and lusted after another guy while in relationship, would she disregard feelings of her partner and choose to indulge herself while maintaining facade of innocence? What she's shown us of her personality suggests the answer would be "yes" rather than "no".
Of course, she would be "very sorry" about it once it came to light.
How would you tip someone in a manner that wouldn't point at you? Cherry didn't do it because it's hard and a gamble.
Have a friend take compromising pictures, mail these. Or just spontaneously fuck in a place where Lena might catch you, it's hardly your fault (at least not any more than Axel's) if she does.
Obviously, she is far from the worst developer. She has a completed game which is miles a head of most of them. She has a very ambitious two protagonist, multi-branching, large cast game, with decent, thoughtful writing. I just want her to succeed before she becomes burnt out and it becomes yet another abandoned game.
