Incest isn't an option and wasn't in ToN so I don't see that argument.
another one. Yes. wincest was in ToN as an unofficial patch. That's the whole point of the "landlady" workaround so that anyone can change the dynamic of relationships immediately.
The excuse to quote Patreons rules and TOS, is also ridiculous, when we see top games like SummertimeSaga who exactly have this wincest work around integrated, are still able to generate income through subscribers.
The reality is this (as far as i can tell): NLT flat-out refused to create family-oriented characters. it's not possible to create a patch unless you rewrite whole conversations.
And now comes the fun part.... people are actually bored that he dilutes the game with side characters, creating sex scenes with them and not focusing on the main story which showcases that cosumers want characters they can have a connection with and have a decent backstory.
If we now go full circle, a wincest is the closest that comes to this, because ding ding ding, these characters are around from the beginning to the end. like in ToN. Janet and Kaley are with Henry from the first scene until the last. when he starts in his broke empty house and uncovers everything around the treasures. Thats a connection.
