There's a lot of truth to what you're saying here, and it's unfortunate that DC has gone this route.I noticed in the cookie jar that there was an option to pick sub/dom options for Jenny's scenes now, but why on Earth would I play through this turd more than once to unlock them? This isn't Mass Effect, and my enjoyment of reading through dialogue lines that are 99% identical to ones that I've played before to ferret out the tiny bits of change is limited at best. And from what small amount I saw when I tried to work up the effort to speed through you actually see less than you do on the dom route, since you wimp out of pushing Jenny to actually do the lewd scene.
Also, I just tried to use a gallery unlocker to skip the whole wretched process and of course now it simply doesn't show options at all. Why isn't there a simple option to unlock the cookie jar like we had in the past, so us old-heads with low patience can see all the new changes in this preview version? People have already dug through the files and found art for new Jenny content (like the missionary scene in bed) that simply hasn't been implemented yet, so there's even less point in going through the game multiple times since the saves will undoubtedly break yet again in the next update. Just brilliant design all around.
It all speaks to a product that was rushed out the door to satisfy....something. I don't subscribe to the conspiracy theory that he did it to remove the "Abandoned" tag here, but it wouldn't be far-fetched to suggest that he wanted a nice juice to his stagnant Patreon sub count. The one consistent piece of evidence from Graphtreon is that releases = money, even a half-baked one.
I haven't watched this game from the start, nor have I played through all of the updates, but I can honestly say that DC is continually playing catch up with the ideas that he either wanted to implement but didn't, or had his writer rework areas he felt were weak after they were finished.
Either way, the continual reworks and updates have left a lot of people frustrated.
I'm still of the opinion that people are still getting the game for free, and should stop complaining because of that, but yes, he's stalled the game regardless, in the hopes of making it better.
What I think he doesn't understand is that people aren't really all that interested in the branching stories where you have to replay a porn game, because they just want to race through the dialogue, get to the sex scenes, then move on to another game.
