Let's be serious here. Summer's GGone hardly had any nudity anyway. I would understand if this was Being a DIK being censored, but SG is a game no one plays for the adult content (as yet anyway). Therefore cutting off these scenes were risk free and he had really a lot to gain, the more sales is equal not only more cash, but puts the game higher on the trending list and is giving it a chance to earn much more.
yeah i agree but SG is a shitty AVN and a mediocre story, i bet the people on steam are going to be confused because of that.

Its not about that, its the principle, I don't like to feel being taken advantage of.

I got Chasing Sunsets for 7 as early access 2 updates ago and for that money I will get updates until the game ends. Here not only do I pay more 12.79, but I have to pay again every time a new season gets released, so already its a business model that I dislike more.

Cherry on top disrespectful 'DLC' that's just some non downscaled renders...Everyone that has been around the genre a while knows how little value they hold.
I am a Big fan of Chasing Sunsets - I have supported it on SS almost since inception and I also bought it on Steam to show my support for the devs.

Ocean has extras (music packs and renders) that Steam users can choose to buy or not - which is a pretty standard practice on Steam.

The devs of CS did not do this - their choice, and if Kentyrr chose to put together a pack of Jaye renders, I'd buy it!

You get to choose when/if you buy SG on Steam - now or wait for the typical sales that come up at the holidays - or not at all.

If Ocean withheld an .exe file that was unique to each copy of SG, then I would call that being taken advantage of.

IMO, this is simply a business decision, and no one is forced to buy it at that price, especially given that someone put the Steam version on F95 for a free download within hours of the Steam release.

SG is a Much longer story than CS.

I envision buying Firebreak, the CS dev's next project once it is available on Steam in, I'm guessing, 2-3 years.

The next season of Summers Gone will be in development at that time and not for sale until it is completed (barring some early access choice that Ocean has not revealed to us at this time).

Summers Gone is a story that will likely take decades to play out while CS is not.

I see it as comparing the purchase price of a single great book to the purchase price of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice Series - they are simply two very different products, and it is reasonable for them to be priced differently.

In the end, I'm glad that Ocean gave each of us the choice to support him as we each choose to, whether Patreon/SS alone, buying SG on Steam with/without any extras, or some combination of both.

Regardless of our positions, I hope you get to enjoy Summers Gone Season 1 as it has been a long journey for anyone who is a fan.

Cheers!! :coffee:

Then why are you on this page?
SG is one of the most popular VN on this site, and the only thing I see in this thread is fragile babies that have basically repeated the same argument since 2020. Yes it doesn't have sexuality yet, the fucking game warned you with a splashscreen the moment you open it, move on.
Yes, the dev is reworking the chapter for consistency. It was an annoying process, for everyone, dev included.
Yes, there was "censor" for the release of the steam version. There won't be any moving foward.

The steam release is very important for a dev. I've bought the game for support. It's a very good game, and on this site they are rare.

So, quick question: has anyone decided to work on the decensor mod or does the old one still work with this new version? Or maybe, just maybe, Ocean didn't remove nude scenes this time?

Many dialogue changes that are simply "unmarketing":

Was:
Python:
    t "Oh Ayua... That's one hell of a girl."
    t "Drives a Dodge Viper."
Now:
Python:
    t "Oh Ayua... That's one hell of a girl."
    t "Drives a muscle car."
Just one example of many. This also includes "politically correct" new edits as well. This thing has been "sanitized". Just know it's a thing.

I've never played this game, I've downloaded it before but when I did it said "hey we're going to redo episode 2/early content" So I thought "Eh. I'll just delete and wait so I can see what the game is like when they finish the refresh" So did they finally do that or not?
Yep, chapters were redone, few early choices removed to get story more in line with new chapters. Then it was redone again. And believe some extra renders were done on early chapters again for Steam release.
So if you are waiting for new content, come back in few years. If you wanted to see early chapters re-done, yep, those are done. For now.

Apparently the original Nia "fuck machine" remark is now a no-no:

Was:
Python:
    n "And they don't realize that you are playing while streaming?"
    nia "Nah... I do it while using a fuck-machine. The focus is between my legs, so I have time to play."
    nia "And the trebuchet is much better!"
    n "I still prefer the normal catapults!"
Now:
Python:
    n "And they don't realize that you are playing while streaming?"
    nia "Not unless I accidentally squeak because I got a good drop."
    nia "And the trebuchet is still much better!"
    n "Tzz! I prefer the normal catapults!"

Devs will do anything for a buck, even censoring their own game. Wouldn't shock me if it gets changed that this game will have ZERO sexual content in it.

Doesn't matter to me tho i play it for free, this is not one of the games i support on patreon.

Geez, even the Ch4.5 MC nipple pump scene (you know the one) has been shelved (with Nia/Vic/Nam). Ugh, such a bummer man, this thing has been cleansed with bleach and a sandblasting rig.

Oh it will only get worse too if they are looking for steam to be their primary source of income. It won't even be an AVN by the time they are done neutering it.

I thought that was already removed back when the jacuzzi grinding scene got sheleved too.

Well, none of what was present is a violation of steam policy. Almost all AAA AVN's are on steam in all their original glory.

There's some other reason but I'll be damned to know what that is tbh.
