I was trying to be careful in mentioning US dollars, and acknowledge that in many parts of the world, the math works out better. Minimum wage in the US is criminally low. A full time job at double the minimum wage in many areas still leaves one in poverty here, and without the benefits of access to decent healthcare. I saw someone in another thread express it in terms of housing costs. In my area, a basic, 30-50 year old house, 3 bedrooms, 1 or 2 baths, under 1,300 square foot, can cost over $350k to purchase. And we are in the rust belt where things are "more affordable" than on the coasts (NY, Miama, LA, SF are insanely more expensive)You called me stupid?, You just made an enemy for life!... I'm lying, I'm joking, you're one of the most reasonable people in the thread, I can't take anything you say the wrong way. Maybe I shouldn't have generalized so much, I'm not saying that all developers should have a shark mentality and that those who don't expand their team are egocentric or lazy, I just find it curious how some developers who have the opportunity to hire people and don't do it use the same explanation: "Only I can make it perfect", and that there are exceptions to the rule that VNs are exclusively 1 or 2 person projects.
I will tell you that I accept what you wrote, but I want to add a fact to the equation, they are from Brazil, the salaries are not the same, I don't know how much the minimum wage is in the US, but what they earn on patreon (not counting steam) exceeds 127 minimum wages in their country. You don't have to think only about how much they earn but add the country of origin of the developers, maybe in the United States if you earn 2000 dollars you don't make ends meet, but if you earn 2000 dollars being a developer from, for example, Argentina, you are already earning more money than 80% of the families in the country, OppaiMan does not hire programmers or artists from the US, they hire people from Brazil, therefore their salary is cheaper. It is better not to talk about the subject anymore because they will delete our comments.
I just want to add that we have to be patient, this update will be the best of all, I assure you, Eve's monthly special is similar to Mia's before her sexual content comes to the game, it's horrible to have to wait 200 days (approximately what's left for 0.7), but you have to have faith in God, hallelujah my brothers. And if they're going to include Helen as a possible monthly special, we're all doomed, include Mike too, nothing matters anymore.
I've just had my first play thru, and Eve is certainly the most intriguing to me as well.
