Recommending Western Sharing Games List

Which would you prefer? That we listen or remain faithful to our vision? No wonder Dev's get frustrated at times. I like to read this thread as it's not going to change my story, but can affect the way I think about how I develop the characters or how I use dialogue. Having said that I'm not going to go against my own preferences so I'm not going to fall into the potholes of humiliation, mc's with little dicks, black guys with monster dicks, and so on and so on. I'm more than happy to take feedback (except on the subject of American English v English English) and that feedback may, or may not change the way I do something based on the feedback, not on whether it comes from a paid Patreon follower or otherwise. I find these threads useful as a way of getting me to look at my stories from different angles and I believe that's good.

Personally, the moment I see a developer asking for player opinions or polls regarding story decisions, relationships, paths, or fetishes with the intention of following the majority's will, I stop playing that game
A developer can ask for polls on non-essential matters like weekly artwork, DLCs, "what if" scenarios, and the like; but handing the steering wheel over to the users has always, without fail, caused that game to go to shit

I like developers who have high self-confidence
In fact, my favorite games have developers who never allowed player interference; meaning the game is the same now as it was at the start, and this has made me have complete respect for them. They have paid attention to objective, logical, and constructive feedback, but not in the sense of entering a path they have no understanding of or interest in, but rather to improve the very path they were on from the beginning!
I quickly steer clear of games by developers who, out of fear of losing fans or to gain more, sycophantically try to cram everything into the game based on comments, Patreon, and so on
