After all these years of waiting, periodically checking in, and holding out hope, it’s genuinely disheartening to hear that the very feature that set XStory apart seems to be fading away. It’s especially frustrating after being drip-fed small updates over the years that never hinted at such a big shift in direction.

However, the reality is that creating and promoting erotic games comes with significant challenges. Many platforms, advertisers, and content creators have strict guidelines

If the goal is to make something YouTube- and Twitch-friendly, that pretty much means leaving out anything truly adult. Making a shift to please content creators rather than focusing on the fans who’ve been here from the start feels like a real departure from what made the original games special.
At the end of the day, this just feels like a huge letdown for those of us who have stuck around all this time, waiting for more. Guess it’s finally time to let go of any hope for a game like the originals.
