Ren'Py The Headmaster [v0.16.3] [Altos and Herdone]

I believe it's only been mentioned in dev notes and not in the game itself, but there's also at least one boy school. So I think this is meant to be a much larger initiative than just a single school. Likely there are multiple schools for both girls and boys, probably trying different approaches to see what works best.

So this one failing likely doesn't sink the entire plan.

you see, if his school were not exemplary, since the MC itself is the inventor of that method of re-education, and other schools should be equal to it. and it was to him that the press with cameras came for an exemplary lesson. so to speak, he is "patient zero". oh yes, there were many schools along with boys' schools - but they were not "model" schools, which are equal to - you missed this point. if the author of the method himself made such a fatal miscalculation, which led to a riot, then it follows that the method is wrong, since it does not give a 100% successful result.

It's actually mentioned in the game. I think even the name of the headmistress of the boy school is mentioned at some point.

EDIT: Just found her name. It's Rebecca Grant

hmm in this case yes - he's way may fall but initiative at all can survive because of other ways (if they cannot fall).

There are a number of schools (we know of two for sure, possibly others), trying various things, I believe that the other schools are starting to copy his methods by way of instructions from the investors, but I also assume that is still minimal, as he needs to prove his methods first. We are still doing that after all.

We know there is the boy's school being led by a headmistress, and we know of two other teachers who came to witness our methods, but we do not know if they are from the same school as the headmistress or others.

Probably different schools, judging by the way they reacted and interacted with each other.

its hillarius even more if you know the research on game piracy that says more or less what "Sasugachan" says about the fairly marginal impact of piracy on the overall earnings of the gaming industry these days.

Most people making claims about the economics of piracy does it on a level where it's like studying religion based on

You must be registered to see the links

. Review your sources and think for yourself. Yes there are studies showing that the majority of people pirating a TV show live in countries where no TV station or streaming service provide it, hence no legal access. Wouldn't have bought it anyway is also a valid point. However this isn't about pirating big company software. It is about trying to inject piracy into what could be argued being the main access to the game releases for most people. That's like making a restaurant where paying is optional. Most people would assume that to be less of an issue than burglary. It's a more valid comparison than some people realize because there are people justifying burglary because "insurance will pay" (hint: they never give 100% coverage). On the other hand, there are BS arguments against piracy too, like each downloaded song makes the music industry lose $150k. The only time the music/movie industry had valid arguments (that I have seen) is when somebody got caught buying a movie on release day when the store opened, rushed home to rip the DVD and put out a torrent before even having had time to watch the movie. It was argued in court that he seeded a movie, which wasn't already on the internet and did it before most of the people downloading it even had a chance to go to the store to buy or order online. I hope he enjoyed the feeling of being first while it lasted because he will be paying for it for life.

Yes Altos is successful, but that doesn't make him too big to fail. His income would suffer if he changed distribution to everything being free and supporters wouldn't get benefits for their donations. Would enough people pull out to make development financially nonviable for Altos? Nobody knows, but I don't think we should test that. Also using the argument about successful like that is the same as arguing that it's ok to steal, but only from the rich. It's like that interview chip, which floats around the internet where some woman says there should be no rights to private ownership because it's just rich people buying houses without using them. When asked if she owns anything, she says she owns a car. When asked if it's ok if other people can just take it if they feel like using it, then she goes no, she needs it. In other words the people arguing why stealing should be ok will do so until people take from them.

you are not better at all because you gave someone a few dollars xD

Nobody said that. It's your assumption, or maybe even projection. This is about being nice to people, particularly people giving us something for free.

Some of us are from poor countries and can't afford to pay for porn.

There are homeless people in rich countries too. Being on a tight budget is valid everywhere and there shouldn't be any shame in admitting to not having the money. Besides most rich people wouldn't be rich for long if they go on a spending spree. The majority of "rich people" are people, who generate savings due to relatively low spendings. A lot of the big spenders online are people, who empty the bank accounts every month.
