I admit that the regular updates kept the game front and center for me. These days I don't really pay attention to WVM nor do I really anticipate updates as they will come whenever BD can put them out. And no, I am not knocking BD, life happens and I'm not going to "blame" someone for it. But these days my enjoyment of WVM has very much cooled and I've largely moved onto other games, I come into the thread every now and then to see what is going on but don't comment as much as I used to because there really isn't any new content to talk about.
Though I may not be anticipating the updates I still play them. I am interested to see the eventual redux of the game and any new content, just without the red hot pervy excitement that I had before, admittedly my interest also waned with the introduction of the color coded girls and the violence at the bowling alley.
