don't let the facts get in the way of how what if's "delay the game"
Who said they would "delay the game"?
The latest chapter absolutely trumped all before it in terms of sexual content and number of girls featured in it - im eluding to taking a break from using up all his free time on well... working even longer hours gave us a much better chapter as a result. Id happily junk What If's in a heartbeat if it meant more of the same going forward (and that includes more NTR content in main game). Besides his ideas are for most part much better than the backers who seem to mostly sing from the same hym sheet (NTR, Brenna, Hunter and for some reason mysterious islands). Take out the latter (islands) and id rather he save his best ideas for main game scenes regarding those and he himself called out his issues with it, better he makes content he enjoys making vs having to try and reinvent the wheel on the side just to somehow shoe horn yet another Brenna gets fucked by Hunter scene into his schedule.
Still on a positive side it could be argued this over saturation to pander to minority of players gives him perhaps more creative desire to do anything else in the main game chapters (hence chapter 10 focused so heavily on pretty much EVERYONE else haha). It'll have also proven a nice little earner as it incentivises bigger backing on his patreon (as much as been the case with a lot of his rewards after reshuffle - even teasers are locked behind higher tiers than before). The only "delay" with chapter 11 will if there is one be thanks to Patreon itself and its recent interference forcing a rewrite, it already delayed chapter 10.
