I'd much rather they make three 600 render updates we get every 2 months then one 1800 render update we get once every 6 months. I don't mind it stopping abruptly at the end of the 1st two updates.
They could call each update Chapter 6 1/3 & Chapter 6 2/3 & Chapter 6 3/3.
That works great for me & people who want to wait until they are all out to start them can do that.
Yea I agree, what they need to realize is they are NEVER gonna please everyone, someone will always complain about something and when you try to chase that dream of pleasing everyone you end up pleasing no one.
I am someone who is very much opposed to 6+ months updates, a shit ton happens in 6 months that can not only additionally delay the updates, it also makes the player feel more and more apathy for the game as the time goes. There are legit some games even big ones on this site that i used to LOVE that i completely fell out of because of this reason(looking at you Halfway House). It's a good thing i LOVE this game so much i replayed it several times since the last update, but that's not always gonna be the case. For me if an update takes longer than 3-4 months something is wrong and if you take making a game as seriously as you would a real job you can actually cram in quite a lot in those 3-4 months.
This obviously isn't the end of the world here, its the first time it's happened to the devs and for a justifiable reason at least, not just someone being lazy or scamming people or something else, if the update is twice as big as chapter 4 that's ok, but that shouldn't also become a trend.
Now i am gonna bring something up that i wonder if other people would agree with me. Huge updates aren't really as good as some people make them out to be, not only for the obvious time they take to develop but also and lets not beat around the bush here, these games are fap material, we play them for the same reason we watch porn. This is why i am not that big of a fan of Being a DIK, when you release an update that has 10+ sex scenes, what do you expect me to do with that? 99% of us play the update in one sitting, i ain't about to rub one out 10 times in 45-90 minutes... i can't even if i wanted to lol. Now you may argue well you can always replay it at a later time, yea but lets be real the "magic" is gone, the best a scene is at always is when you play it the first time, we quickly get bored of something and want something new otherwise we wouldn't crave for new updates so much every time. Imagine a potential future scenario where the devs take like 10 months and release 5 sex scenes with Sophie, Bree, Eve, Ms Hill, Cassie.... all the girls i really like... I'd die... Literally I would have to die to play through that entire episode the way i wanted to. This would literally be me throughout that entire update
Btw i don't think the next update is gonna be like this, given that we are still in the early stages of knowing the girls and most of them aren't sluts or just casually approaching sex like Cassie for instance, even with how big the episode was we wont be getting much more than like a handjob and a blowjob from 1 or 2 of them and that's about it, instead most of it will be sexy moments that we had like the photoshoot with Bree or something like that. Anyway just wanted to add one more perspective that i dont see being talked about and that's just how "frustrating" sometimes big updates can feel not just because of how long they take, but because you get 7 sex scenes, you enjoy yourself on the 3rd one only to play 15 more minutes and realize the 6th one is your favorite, but at that point you feel like this meme
