I mean, it makes sense as an antipiracy measure, those who want to play part 2 have played part 1 and its asummed they have bought it; and its probably more convenient for when he releases the whole game, but a 40$ total price for a full game sold in 4 parts is a little too much.
40? if there will be 4 parts then he is asking for $60 since each part is $15.
True, sorry, I bought the first part for 10.50 on sale and thought it was the full price. It seems that the sale for the second part is 12$ instead too, so higher prices all around

This has nothing to do with antipiracy (Otherwise they'll use some form of DRM)
It's just the DEV Overcharging / Overpricing. (Expedition 33: Clair Obscur only cost $50, but this text-based VN charge $60 IF it comes with 4 parts.)
Like Modern devs split their games for parts then sell every part separately for more money.
Especially when every part charge the same amount of money, but Don't hv the same amount of contents. (PT1 is 400RMB while PT2 is only 150MB)
Yeah pretty scummy, but remember most Porn games nowadays charge $5-$25 per month for updates, and 5 years later they are still no where near finished.
It's just how the market goes, sadly. (Hence I rarely spend money here, even tho I buy games regularly)

The second part has 36 new cgs compared to the 16 of the first one so it probably has far more content. I think that the first comes with the whole renpy engine while the second is only the patch, so we shouldnt use file size to measure content in this case.

True, but many Stuff in Part 1 are set-ups for later, So CG count is also not a good metric.
In fact, there's no good Metric here to Justify why they split the game to parts and charge every part the same.
That's why DLCs always cost less than the Base game.
But that doesn't change My Point, They are Overpricing.
As far as I know, The dev have to work with many co-workers (Designers, Translators and so on) to develop this game.
Making this kind of game is very time-consuming job, so I think the dev have to sell the game separately to cover the production costs.
