Wonder if Audrey was an in-game version of a real-life love interest of the dev.
Could be a possibility, break ups are some tough shit. Then again, he could've been in love with RL Audrey and she didn't reciprocate his feelings ??

But I guess he simply wanted all the bitching to stop. Must be hard on the dev to work his ass off for his fans only to receive silly trolls and complaints over how a character should look like.
I hope all the peeps who called her a mutant, ugly, hooker, cheap slut, escort etc. are happy now. A simple ignore was enough to completely avoid her, there was no need to post a couple hundred pages about insulting a 3d character. Maturity seems to be a luxury these days and apparently money's tight for some to buy shit like that.
The dev should really give us a reason storywise for her sudden removal from the main cast, like some sick fuck shooting and killing her or a tragic accident, even Vicki threatening to kill her, the MC and Goldy will do (I know, that's some dark shit, but it's just an example). Simply removing her like that won't sit well with most of the fans and we'll be going back to square one. It's like Mr.Jet would kill off Julia, he'd stop the incest requests but gets ppl crying about not playing the game anymore.
That's not a fix for this issue, it's just a change of topic.
