I figured out what else I REALLY don't want to see in games period. Plus it's a good way to bump up the tread.
Holiday specials.
I borderline HATE this shit. It contributes nothing to the story apart of some fuckery. Sometimes even breaking the immersion because dev's go like "for some reason every LI wants to give BJ to MC or maybe anal idk just consume". On top of that it actively damaging the game's schedule because of 1-3 months dev would spent on this nonsense while 0 hours will be spent at actual game progression.
I don't know who started it but this trend spreaded like plague, now most of ren'py games have or will have at least one. And for some reason I never saw any pushback or approval from the audience. Players are mostly like "ah, 3 month wasted for nothing. Cool, see ya next year". I doubt it that seeing girls in santa's outfits are as common kink, otherwise it would become separate genre by this point.
And it can be even worse. I swear I saw several games where dev made cristmas special every year, and other games where devs made specials for cristmas, halloween, st. patric's ay, etc. That's insane.
IMO specials can be made, but ONLY when the main story is finished and players want some more content to spend a bit more time with characters they like. Butif your game is barely started and you're already adding unnecessary bonuses I view it only as dragging time and milking money (if game is somewhat profitable already)
Rant over.
