All fair points, but again, dont promise the full product if you dont know if you can deliver. If LewdMod1 hadnt promised all future updates off the game then the split would have been fine.

When they pay you recived for lewd mod 1 wasnt enough the normal thing to do is raise the price, not break the game up into pieces. Especially since lewd mod 1 promised all future updates to buyers. At best its false advertisement and at worst bait and switch.
I run a small construction company and if i take on a job too cheap (have happened once) i have to eat the loss, i cant lock up 2 rooms and demand payment to give them access.
And while i agree $5 is a good price for the current content thats what should have been charged for lewd mod 1, maybe even $10 so you can continue the work.
The issue isnt "Price", i agree that $5 isnt bad, the problem is the shady business practices.
The page for lewd mod 1 promised buyers all future updates to the game. (And it was removed when lewd mod 2 released so basically a bait and switch)
The same promise was on this page aswell until it was pointed out in the comments that if the games is broken up into more installments it would be a bait and switch again.
The normal thing developers here do when their games get bigger and more content is raise the price, not break it up into several games.
"Buy the full game here on Itch.io
Purchase the full game below. You'll receive all future updates. "
This was on the Lewd Mod page aswell before the game was split into two.
It sets a bad precedent.
Just a heads up that you might not get the full game, no way of knowing how many days will be in this version before the story continues in Lewd mod 3. And why stop at 3, maybe 4 and 5 aswell.
While 2$ is cheap its more about the principle. Now the page states that the story will continue in part two and buyers are aware of that. But everyone who bought it before the page was updated was given the impression they would be reciving all future updates until the story was finnished. For us this is pretty much a bait and switch.
