I'm pretty sure it's because he can't.
do u know why?
Old WiaB had incest. Patreon doesn't like incest and will shut down accounts over it. Ocean ran two Patreons, one for WiaB and one for Summer's Gone. If he attempted to start another Patreon and they crack down on him again, it's possible it could affect Summer's Gone, which is his cash cow. Easier to pivot away from Patreon and try to find other income sources (Subscribestar, Itch, Steam, etc).

New WiaB is in a weird grey area where I think we're about to lose the incest completely but it will be a messy explanation. I could be wrong about that though, I don't really stay on top of things like I used to. Theoretically, if it had no incest, he could try again possibly but probably won't do anything that could result in him losing SG's patreon.

As far as Steam goes, we don't know. Ocean made a statement that he withdrew ages ago about relationships. I can only imagine he wants to reveal some of those things in game. Steam doesn't seem to care, but because the game is tied to SG... who knows? We'll hopefully find out in 3 weeks (1 week steam resubmission, 2 weeks with curators for site reviews).
Theoretically, it might work to have it on WIAB as sexual content if it will not go back to Patreon, while only the consequences will be carried on to SG (Nika)
Even with that, I think if Ocean decides on having it, he will not do it directly, but make it so that an i-patch makes sense

Permitted
  • Sexual activity between members of a family who are not blood relatives (e.g. in-laws).
  • Personal accounts or survival stories involving incest.
  • Fictional plot points involving incest that are part of a larger narrative.

That's my thought too. WiaB won't be going back on patreon, Ocean's been clear about that. I imagin you can't resubmit a project that has been booted. Plus, he'd be continually stressed about it, when the plug will be pulled again.

From what he said and took back in an old devlog... is too long ago, and he might have changed his mind, so in three weeks we'll find out what he's uploaded to steam (fingers crossed) and we'll be able to guess the direction moving forward.

You asshole! I've muted people for less :mad:
Good Lord that is downright disgusting.

That shit right there is why I'm gonna be fiddling around with scripts while everyone else is playing the new update. Hopefully I'll be able to flag all renders from LEIA, HELEN and DANA that contain nudity and purge them before my sensitive eyes can behold them :LOL:

No blobs of lard allowed in my playthrough! :ROFLMAO:

That's half glass full speaking. Empty your cup and learn to love all shapes and sizes then you'll no longer be reading scripts :ROFLMAO:.

The direction:


I know, I know you don't have to say it, I'm a beacon of positivity! Been called a "glass half full kinda guy" all my life :LOL:
I would wage is a 50/50. I am both excited and apprehensive for this update. There is a lot riding on Steam, I don't know how Ocean can justifies its development other wise. I mean, maybe he dosent has to, but the time invested alone is quite significant. And even for a new public, who hast played previous versions, there is a fair chance that the story wont make sense -SG dosen't make much as it is. I really hope that whatever Ocean did was well thought out and we get a well round story.

~4500 renders, we get almost 2 updates, if one is a filler, don't worry, there is a second one))
