I wonder how many potential patreons-donaters read that, who then tucked their wallets safely back in their pants..
If you wanna make a hentai game that focuses more on story and gameplay, more power to ya, but a move like this is basically just a subtle middle-finger to those who'd wish to play it just for the hentai.
I don't see you offending anyone by having non-gallery hentai easily accessible to those who want it, but not doing so-.. You know what, it's fine,
I'm sure you're doing well enough for yourself.
