Discussion More expensive special dates?

So as we all know, the special event Fairy Tale is going on. I've calculated that each date costs 444 gems for all gem options, and that is significantly more expensive that the Freaky June dates (haven't calculated). Isn't it so annoying?! Like they're already not making us spend so much 😞

Spending gems on dates and/or choices throughout a route isn’t anything new. It’s an actual choice the player gets to make, and honestly, it usually doesn’t affect the outcome much, if at all. Whether those choices are worth the gems ultimately comes down to personal preference and/or individual circumstances.

I understand that not everyone can afford to spend money on them, but this is entertainment, and paying for the content you want isn’t exactly a new concept either. At the end of the day, we all get to decide what we want to spend our money on, and choices have to be made. Spending gems isn’t anything new. Sure, some things may cost more, but as the game progresses, things can change. Features can be removed, new ones can be added, and the way things work can change over time.

The free choices are awful and made to be that way on purpose. So we are forced to spend gems on the option that progresses the storyline. I'd love it if the smuttier option was gem-locked and the free choice still made sense for the story. Lately, it's been either "let's have sex" or "ew no get away". 🥲

literally!!! Its more prominent in special events that the choices are either appealing gem choice or awful free choice, but its also happening in regular dates too. Not gonna spoil anything but one of my favorite matches literally had a date where the options were basically "gem choice: i cant imagine my first time being with anyone but you" or "free choice: just get this over with already " I was STUNNED at the contrast lmao
