What I dont get is that if he just wanted to never finish the game, why not just constantly add a few scenes here and there? Even something as banal as 3 scenes every 6 months + some a tech update wouldn't be as BS as what we have now

That would require work.
I don’t think you can fault people for assuming that the intent behind the project was for DC to make a complete game that included whatever content his patrons were promised within a reasonable timeframe based on the resources available to him. It seems like a basic, if you will, good faith assumption. If you look at the dev history, then it seems like something went completely sideways.
I guess if you look at it from the angle of this being a project that mainly exists to deepen the coffers of his company in order to possibly finance future endeavors, by making SS into an ever expanding project, then it’s definitely managed in the correct manner.

'completion' is only a useful benchmark if you are wanting to ship a finished product. That is not the business model for these kinds of games... they're all about keeping subscribers happy and people have been happy paying for updates with additional scenes and characters. Love + Second Base is literally an ever-expanding soap opera where each new update brings new scenes, new characters, new social structures. These games do not need to ever 'finish' just as World of Warcraft doesn't need to 'finish' as long as you keep adding new stuff, people will be happy.
I suspect the issue is that, at some point, a technological decision was made that made that model impossible. I suspect these kinds of technical reboots are often done in an effort to give games room to grow. The problem is that, with a game this old and with this much content, getting rid of all the content is a death knell as it will now take years just to get the game back to where it was at the end of the last update and those are years in which existing subscribers can get bored.

Oh thanks for letting me know. Yeah, I remember like almost 2 years ago. The game was done perfectly fine. And I have been waiting for this new update because I haven’t played this game for a such a long time but I just feel so disappointed. I’m should not be taking this long for tech update or whatever. Some of the other games in the last two years have improved their gaming so much that it’s much better to play those game rather than this one because there’s no new content no new animation 99% of it being old version shit I played the new version for a little while then I basically went back to the other version that you mentioned.

Same. And it wasn't even anything inflammatory or disrespectful. Not sure what's going on here.

Well then, it's better to download the second option as it already has all the complete content and then wait for the new update of this mega tech change that he is making

Basically, yes. You could also just pretend DC never updated the game, and continue do so for the next 2 years, until all content is caught up.

Yes, that's more or less what I'm going to do, I'm going to play the second download, and when it's updated 100% I'll play this other one, because this old version has more mods that improve the game
