This problem is relatively easily solved by the way the author writes the text. He can squeeze into the game the possibility of renaming one/several characters and use phrases in the spirit of “grew up together”, which is suitable for both neighbors and relatives. In this case, problems are unlikely to arise in dialogue with the administration of the mentioned Steam, for example.. I've heard that canceling cancelers isn't that hard these days. Times are changing quickly.
The problem of regular donations or other bullshit is now even easier to solve. He can create a page here, his own, and collect money through links for content that people would like. Whoever wants - will support. I could have done the same on the former Twitter, which has a lot of adult content.

On the topic of the game itself. I went through this “new piece” again and realized that even the story itself, the plot, had shifted literally by a couple of days in a year. 1-2 events happened + God forgive me, a couple of scenes like a shower that didn’t carry much meaning. F&ck, this dude spent a YEAR on SOAP and ONE scene.
I suspect he spent 10 months on the video at the end, which has... NOTHING useful AT ALL or at least... I don’t know, content typical of games for adults.
