Well - we told the players to trust and be patient. But the ongoing shitstorm made MrDots to drop that experimental path.
Personally i also likely would have seen the CuckQueen path, as i have never seen it in any VN.
Unfortunately players just want to rage and see NTR chances and they are blind for all other possibilities.
On the one side they complain that everything is vanilla and they have seen everything in some kind for 1000 times, on the other side they fear something new instead of just trust a developer if he says something.
No, you were being cryptic as fuck while there was radio silence from MrDots, you had created an unlikeable, controlling and whiny (to be fair, a fault the MC shares) character that the playerbase was forced into a relationship with. Then you made her thirst for other guys, call you and blurt out that she wanted to see other people and provide no way to break up with her.
Instead of just being honest and open with people when the backlash started you decided to play coy. Aside from that I don't know how you're related to the project. Hell you probably could have done it now instead of changing anything and it's likely people would have been okay with it. People don't like being messed with man, who'd have thunk it. Rubbing it in peoples faces now is a real class move.
By the way the choice that's being changed is super weird. I don't see why it would be "Deny her request and continue dating someone who is obviously unhappy and probably going to cheat on you, or break up" instead of "Break up, or Agree to her request for an open relationship." Why those two things weren't there in the first place just blows my mind.
