Even if say there are only 10% of all people interested in boys love fiction, that's still way more then our audience. Of course not every one of them will want to buy Loren, but even if only a few of them will buy Winterwolves games because of their BxB content it will end in a profit for Jack. So in a very real sense the game might be even more expensive without the BxB content, since we would miss those sales.

To summarize my point, even those of us who do not play the BxB content will profit from it's inclusion in the end. (It's funny that I of all people would end up making a capitalistic argument. Maybe my cold is getting to me )
While I understand your point, it's sometimes pretty frustrating to have game where you only have fun with half of it. I felt the same in all Bioware RPGs where you can play EVIL. But if the development cost is lower then the increased profit from people who like it, I end up profiting from it as well. Since either the game will be cheaper or the studio has more funds for the next game.

Thanks for your suggestion and worrying about us, but I think we will end up making a better game for both BxB and (BxG,GxB,GxG) lovers if the percentage of those romances is balanced.
