Most sites where these devs can make a profit just flat won't host a game with incest, thus what you are talking about. It's why incest patches exist. Many times these patches are made by the devs themselves.And finally Incest/Landlady-Roommate stories. "I can't sleep with you, you're my ROOMMATE!" So stupid.
No I understand the reason for it but it's still an instant uninstall for me, the only reason I try the game in the first place is sometimes the incest is between other characters and not the MC and family. Like if their are two sisters that are possible LI or like in Fetish Locator where it's siblings that are going at. If it's avoidable and doesn't drastically alter the story I can live with it but if not the game goes away.Most sites where these devs can make a profit just flat won't host a game with incest, thus what you are talking about.

Sure, and a few games I know of went the step-whatever route instead. The issue with that route is that it makes the incest patch exponentially harder to implement. With Landlady you just have to replace the word Landlady with Mom or Aunt or whatever. With the step route it changes the grammar of sentences entirely unless the Dev paid extra attention to his structure, which is just another level of difficulty on top of the standard effort of writing a good script.No I understand the reason for it but it's still an instant uninstall for me, the only reason I try the game in the first place is sometimes the incest is between other characters and not the MC and family.

Also there is a far better way to do this, simply have the dynamic be either a family friend or foster home take in the MC. That way you can still have an incest patch for people that want that but you can also leave it and write the story around that dynamic of a step family or family friend. There can be the same tension and feeling of it being wrong without the dumb ass dialogue of a landlady not wanting to hook up with a tenant or roommates feeling weird about liking each other. If you are hosting a game on a site that doesn't allow incest, get creative in solving the issue and not just use these ridiculous placeholders so you can just patch it.
