- Ocean is not a woman.
- Ocean doesn't have that amount of support on SS. On SS Ocean has ~$3000.
- Ocean gets more on patreon, because a lot of people won't use SS which is why Ocean is careful about his patreon.
- SS will at some point make things harder with their terms of service, so it's only a matter of time before SS starts doing things to devs.
- Fans don't *deserve* anything - they are supporting a dev because they like what the dev does, or not if they don't like. A creator can only hope that people like what they create. A dev can't make a great game by trying to please every preference, it is best for them to tell the story they want to tell.
It is a fine balance to work as a dev to balance between fan expectations, TOS from distribution platforms and the story the dev wants to tell. If Ocean can keep telling his story, and stays passionate about making it, I can follow it or not.
What is everyone saying about the good things being gone? Season 1 Ocean tried to make 16+, not 18+ so he could sell it in Germany. It didn't work, but Season 2 will be 18+. There are another 5 seasons Ocean has yet to make, so it is a long journey. All the previous versions had a warning that there was no sex in the current version, and there is no sex. Sex is planned. Shenanigans are planned. Right now, the only problem is that fans want something sooner than Ocean is delivering. All the rest is people talking about stuff that is yet to be revealed.
TO be honest, all the good things people say are gone, well, most people don't like Summer from the flashbacks anyway
I am also not worried about the lewds, the majority of the lewds that were removed were of limp dicks. That's not my thing. I'm still enjoying the story. I'd suggest you do other things until the next update comes out, and then play it to see if it's moving forward or not. If people are telling you Ocean is a woman, I wouldn't trust most of what they say.
