I just meant the narrative that they were unwilling, as suggested by comments like "dev tries to protect his baby (main game)", or that they were "desperate for money". Those were just wishful thinking, unless maybe someone actually asked them.
Well, one can only speculate. It should be noted that this is the only one of the commissions that had this kind of content.
Or people drop the game since they do not like the main characters anymore after having seen them in side stories. That is a serious risk a dev should take into account and may well cost him way more support as those alternative stories gave him. (I have no figures on that though, but it does seem to be a thing). Not all players make a distinction between the characters in alternate or main, especially if they are the same character and what happens in alternate can destroy the character for them easily. It is the devs choice though if he wants to take that risk with his main game characters.
You're absolutely right. For me, this game, as like as this character, is dead now. Moreover, there is no guarantee that in the future other characters won't be used in similar events "that are not related to the main game".
Well the same argument would be how sad do you have to be to want to see a girl that was portrayed as innocent to be tripled and used in any way possible? They play differently from you, they feel differently from you and both opinions are just as valid and just as true from different views. Just the main game from this is a romantic game about LI's and that makes this decision from dev maybe not very wise as he is letting a big portion of his core intended players down with this, even if it is his choice.
Lol, it still comes back to "VIRTUAL". It's not real and feeling any emotional attachment to it is.. weird, to say the least.
For you maybe, for others it feels completely natural and is even one of the reasons why they play games like these and prefer them above porn and such. It is the same reason why many RPG players are not too fond of the MMO elements being added to their games while it is more or less standard fare for shooters, especially if they are forced to interact with those MMO elements to play their game or why so many fans went ape when in the end their choices did not matter in a certain Bioware game.
