I have a new category, one I've resisted until now, but at 21 and counting I'm there:
"I CAN'T BELEIVE the main character STILL acts this way after ALL THIS TIME! WHY doesn't the dev LISTEN TO ME and CHANGE THE MC to something I can ENJOY?!?
I hate this game, but I can't give up after playing THIS MANY updates, so I'll come here and complain again when the next update comes out."

That´s not it at all.
There are in fact players out there, that enjoy a good story with beautyfull and well rendered characters.
I can understand that those "ctrl" freaks out there, that don´t care about the story, since they have the tool to go from one sex scene straight to the next one.
If the MC defies all character development over a period this long, he gets boring. Then he and his actions become frustrating to the player.
And then, all of the sudden, there are only those "ctrl" players left to "apreciate" the game.
I loved this game frome the start, the charcters had potential. For some of them that potential was used well, others still devellop.
Since then, "Franks" stupidity and social incapability have turned from "funny" in the beginning to outright frustrating.
That scene in the cemetary near the end, where he prays to his wife (Jess) to give him a signal, a hint, what to do (in his relationship with Abby) while Abby is staring at her mothers grave, grieving.
A sudden beam of sunlight appears lighting up only Abby and her mothers grave.
Frank: "No, it can´t be! This must be a coincidence! Right?"
Abby and Frank leaving the cemetary, another, this time Monty-Python-esque ray of sunlight lighting up only Jess gravestone.
Frank: "Yeah, that´s definitely just a coincidence. It can´t be anything else, right?"
.....
WTF?
There are several loose ends to tie in the future, storywise, and I don´t know, where it´s going.
What I do know is: Frank needs fixing, soon!
