Bruh I feel like a clown for supporting RC since mid 2024, only to find out they're backtracking on everything they've said. 😑
I've been feeling like that soon after I started playing tbh. They're not backtracking exactly, they just say what people want to hear while pretending it's coming from a place of "love and support", while they won't hesitate to throw people under the bus if it benefits them (I'm talking about the triggering topics and the cultural disrespect). People had complained that the Kali representation in the books was disrespectful, yet soon after that they even made a card of her with tongue out and looking like a cartoon villain. Because there wasn't an actual hit on their views after that controversy.
I honestly was only playing Soulless after HS2 was over. And discovered RC when HS2 was two updates before its finale. So I wasn't aware of what was going on and didn't even know this was an eastern european company. Their stories have started getting better and less problematic around a year ago, so I stayed because they basically have a monopoly in the VN market now. I have only given them real money three times during these years, and one was now for Soulless finale. But other than that, I think it can be a good strategy to only be a free to play player and just read the books from authors you support. Ideally, apps like Storyscape, Lovestruck and the old Choices would still exist, so it would be much harder for RC to reach a broader audience and have the opportunities to take advantage of them. But if they're gonna take advantage of you, take advantage of them back.
