Do people not even realise its an NTR "Parody" game? The NTR stuff is strickly non-canon, the antagonist when he fails in canon events gets cartoonishly punished for his escapades and of course he is about as repulsive and dumb as you can get from a "threat" to your love interests. He does a lot of heavy lifting to the comedy of the game its biggest selling point IMO and he's also the lynchpin of the narrative and facilitator of the game being about an MC fucking everything in sight including who he should not because he was a meek beta wimp yet he is now an alpha harem chad.
As for the reporter - im actually wondering if it was more a sulking of NTR content or if was salty response to continued "what if" episodes on account that there was a common misconception they were massively delaying the main game updates and people were getting prissy as the backer votes were largely biased to NTR scenarios (as well as suggestions for that matter).
i mean i just checked my last playthrough save from this game and that save is from 6 blody months ago, soooo i'm gone go ahead and call a little bit of bs on the hole "it will not affect the regular relase thingy" i mean, many of you talk like they magicly produce themself, like it does not take hours appon hours appon hours to render, pose, code, write, bug test, link the scenes and than god forbid something pops up during testing
i mean... do all the work that is req to dev an update just gets done itself for the what ifs and the what ifs only?
and for the "problems" and "argueing" that goes on that's simple, 90% happened when insted of creating 2 threats 1 for the regular game and 1 for the parody (LIKE MOST PEOPLES DO) they both got put in the same thread witch kind of sucks when you try to see what's new, what was the update rate and things like that, because a new player might come along and think "hey this gets updates rather regulary" witch is not rly the case since the last 1 was 6 month ago
all in all, throughout the years i would say on this forum, i've never seen a fetish group( in this case ntr ) that has so many verbal lashings and dogpile on people who do not like there fetish, i mean, rly just try to look for any, ANY, other fethis content on this forum and you will see that the pro ntr crowd is 1 of the most toxic and antagonistic when it comes to people not likeing there content, because when it comes to this game ntr was always there, if you want it you can have it if you don't want it you can skip it, simple, no problems what so ever, than the what ifs came along, a ntr "alternate parody", and we are now going through the longest update timers for the past 2 ish updates? (since the updates that"would not take any time, but kinda do, a bit?" came along)
as for the whole patreon stuff, i don't know if it was just a reg check (like patreon does) or if it was some1 reporting, but all i can say is that thous what ifs came out last year, so if it was some1 repoting it they shure ass hell took there time (but than agiain let's be honest here, if it would have happened 4 years from now in the future, probably the anty what if's crowd would have been blaimed for it), or maybe it was some1 pro what ifs who was mad that there is gone be a regular relase and not his favorit what ifs coming up next, unless we know for shure there is no real way of telling, and anything would be just speculation
