Look, this is my final take on this... They've said a pure route playthrough is more of a challenge, and has the canonical end. Obviously its not a huge priority cause its a porn game, they want to make lewds with the time and energy they have for a monthly release. I don't see how this is an argument.
Yes they started on NG, and still upload the public version there, however you can't claim pirating on this site is a total win for them, since most here look for the pirated version rather than support the creators directly. That doesn't mean people don't go support them, but it's still a problem purely from a business standpoint that they can't maximize revenue because of pirating. So rather than devote their time to answering questions here, they can do it on sites they have control over.
And onto your point of not answering the difficult questions. You don't follow that up with any specific example or more importantly, evidence, so clearly you're trying to make a vague argument, in hopes people will blindly agree with that. I'm active on the discord and they've answered all questions. But even then, you think a team of 3 people can answer every question directed at their game on every platform out there?
I'll end with this. If you believe that the game advertisement isn't representing what it actually is about, then why go on this rampage screaming, "FALSE ADVERTISEMENT" when the more amicable solution would be to request for the images to be updated to better reflect the porn that is in the game. If you truly are a fan of their work this would be obvious, but for whatever reason, you decided that your method was clearly better for some blind reason.
I'm not saying it should be a priority. Again: It's the
ending of the game.
I'm just saying it
should have been
included in the plans to begin with. Are you aware of the game series "Shantae"? If not: The "better" you clear the game (faster, 100 % it, etc) the "better" CG ending you unlock. Or heck: Just games where you unlock shit by beating the game. In short: The current plans for if you defeat this
porn game on the HARDEST difficulty is: Nothing. You get nothing. You get a higher production quality reward by STARTING the game, than all the lesbian content
combined. They as said "have considered" to add a reward for beating the game "canonically". Why the
heck should the game reward me more for STARTING the game than defeating it on nightmare without dying? It's a PORN game. I'd expect some pretty fancy fucking porn from that.
And yeah, people do. With good reason. Sure, many just want it for free.
I'm however still waiting for the day 1 promises, that are still up there to be added before I purchase.
And: Piracy exist. To be crass: Having a good relationship with pirates is generally a good thing. Sometimes that is literally the only way people can obtain games as they are not sold in their country. Most the time as said: It's people that want it for free, OR: Try out the "full experience". As AAA games have noticed: If you're a dick to pirates: (And in turn: Fuck over the consumer.) They are still gonna pirate. However: People that normally bought the game, would start to pirate as its a better service. And those good to pirates, still have the standard pirates. But much less outside of that, as people wanna support creators they like. That's been mine, and dozens more practice for years: Pirate and try a game out. If it's worth its salt: Purchase it.
I'm not saying they should prioritize this site or NG. But it
would be a dick move if they were to abandon the places that helped make them what they are today.
I could prolly dig through twitter or steam for specific examples. Like, a twitter one I recall was if they were gonna add any lesbian minigame, as there's none. And that was a "They're considering it.". And in this thread, two of the alleged devs (same names) have said they don't even like lesbians. So who knows?
And generally: When people like you ask for evidence. It's to either go "TL
R" or "Cba to look. Anyhow:" and completely ignore it if its presented. Otherwise: Act as if nullifies any statement if not provided. And you're currently not acting in good faith. Atop: Doing the exact same thing. Making claims without evidence. Also: You LITERALLY had ~3 people ask "Wait, this isn't a lesbian game?!" before I made one of my posts. So: I'm not "blindly hoping" when people are literally
screaming from the rooftops about what I'm pointing out. You have page after page after page after page after page of people saying they are either glad they were wrong about the game. Or express confusion of it not being lesbian.
And no, I don't expect them to answer
every question. But I also expect them to not be dumb enough to promote a game with "we have lesbians! and have 1 finished, lesbian scene out of 170+ scenes... which: IS more than panthea, granted.
Because I (or others) suggested the amicable solution on twitter Itch, Steam, patreon here AND mail. Multiple times. Over the years. And nothing. (granted, steam HAS gotten a better update and screenshots. Still lacks accurate tags and description though.) And to be fair: Twitter clues you in pretty hard on that it's near exclusively male focused. As, those are the only updates on there.
And at this point is more blatant frustration over the incompetence. With vague mumbling of "creative freedom".
If you inspect the tags, which: are evidence you like to ignore. They have LOST the right to have "lesbian" in the tags. Due to not having enough content. Now: Mosy your ass to page 1. It promises: Lesbians. Femdom.
Yet: The game still heavily promises, features and advertises the whole "we have girl on girl!" when it's not even content to be a side quest in the game.

Now: They COULD catch up and actually make it viable gameplay. As I've said before: It DOES make sense to focus on 1-2 paths at a time. And then patch in more paths later. But at this point, it seems rather skechy that is the case. I will just have to wait and see. It would hurt if they reneg on their promises. I was there at the start when they confirmed/implemented my suggestion of a female guard as a plot twist back in NG. But it DOES seem like there may have been a large "creative freedom" change back when they swapped team members. And, all old ideas were just yeeted.
