1. Even if the game had been entirely straight NTR we'd still get hate from people who dislike NTR. Same for any other combination.
Well of course, NTR is a very divisive topic. There are few more divisive (i.e. guro and scat)
2. The game's purpose is to be an erotic epic. Most games last lack SoC's scale. There is going to be many hundreds of fully realized scenes in the game. Not only are we going to blow past games with smaller content pools and this require more variety. But, the sheer breadth of sexual content expands the scale.
This kind of worries me. As it is right now, going by the guide on the website, there are 75 scenes. Out of them, a solid third don't have cgs and I'd say half of them have only a chunk of cgs availiable. The game has been in development for around two years I think. You add about 4 each monthly update, with six cgs (each scene usually requiring multiple cgs).
If I understand it right, what we've seen so far is only a fifth of the game, as there will be new areas with roughly the same amount of content, and castle events will be added to as well with rivals and such. So, if you continue down this road, and aim for this amount of content, the game (presented as the "first scenario" on the patreon page) will take another eight years to finish. If by hundreds of scenes you mean 200 it will still take from 3 to 4 years to do with current workload.
While I understand that with the budget increasing you can increase the output, we are still very far away from the story's conclusion.
I also wouldn't say that even with this progression it would be the most content-rich game on the market, considering that Taimanin Asag Battle Arena is nearing at thousand scenes, around five of which are added each update.
I'm sorry if it seems like I'm ripping on you. I do consider SoC to be likely the best porn game on the western market and feel like the patreon has been really stable and transparent, but I can't help but fear that with all this desire to be the biggest and most widespread the game will sink under its own weight.
