That platform of their own is to sell the game to regions that steam is locked for such content though. Like ther GerrrrrmanzShouldn't affect the placement on the Steam top seller list unless Valve made some really dumb decisions. That's a very real possibility, but absent evidence, I don't think that's the case. I doubt they got the 380.000 that SteamDB shows on the high end, and it's hard to say how many copies that placement on the top seller list translates to, but I think it was a significant amount, at least. I do know a lot of people had it wishlisted because they'd missed the Kickstarter campaign. And to the rest of your points, neither all backers nor all buyers play the game the moment it's released.
If you act like an asshole, expect to be treated like one. There are threads open on the steam forum that are very critical of the game. Including one that says the porn in the game sucks compared to most everything else, including short animations you can find on a random porn site. What does get a thread closed is it devolving to the "I hate NTR, fucking cucks" "no fuck you" "no fuck you" shit you can see in this thread.
Did you notice they're opening a distribution platform of their own? I think that implies they have more plans than "squeeze all the money we can out of this, take it and run." Advertising a porn platform is hard unless you either have a lot of money or can rely on word of mouth. They don't have the money, and they need the game to be good to get free advertising from fans. Makes sense they'd listen to the feedback. What they'll do with it remains to be seen.
In regard of people playing the game. It doesn't really offer great replayablity at this stage, so once people consumed the current content it will be more or less dormant until next update. So the people you will keep spot play from day to day on the charts, is most likely new players.
