Sorry for the rant, but I prefer feeling angry to sad, so. I can't help but think that this is also a part of why they're closing LS. Those same shares' worth likely took a nose dive during writer's strike (to try to explain it, stocks price's worth doesn't depend on how the company is doing, but how important people think it's doing, in short, stocks are bullshit) and who knows what they're like now. Some of them also get paid in a more 'traditional' manner, sure, but most of their wealth comes from shares.

Now, to get back to the writers: I don't know what it's like in Japan, but in US, higher ups were mostly paid in shares. If they did everything as they should have (and that includes treating their workers fairly, more on that in the next paragraph) from the start the app might have lasted a few years longer. And then, Voltage decided to start a witch hunt against those fans. For sapphic fanbases, at least, I know that a lot would come to support a game that, at first, catered to both wlw and wlm fanbases equally, and fans of reddit, twitter, and tumblr (as much as I like to poke fun at it) have done an outstanding job at marketing the game to their friends, but there's only so much they can do without the owners of the IP actually, you know, marketing the said IP. I know this might be irrational or selfish, but this really angers me, and at the same time makes me sad. However, what also upsets me is the fact that they have probably shot themselves in the foot with all the bad decisions that they have made - Poor business practices, lack of advertising, and strange witch hunts on their declining fan base. I think the first I ever saw is your art of Mona (they did her real dirty) a couple years back. Okay, first thing first, I'm a huge, well, fan of your fanart. I no longer have access to the old scripts or routes on the app, but I’m thankful to the producers at Voltage (who left around the same time I did) who took a chance on me and let me be part of creating these wonderful stories. I’ve really enjoyed lurking here and seeing how the community reacts to the stories even though it’s been a long time since I’ve played myself. I honestly haven’t played the game myself for years now, but a lot of memories of late nights writing in my old college apartment, or taking IRL situations from my college romances to inspire my writing are deeply associated with Saerys’ route for me. When I was working on Saerys, the producers and other writers put so so much effort into creating these stories and honestly it was the best job I possibly could’ve asked for to help put myself through college.

I actually just discovered this subreddit recently and it really warmed my heart to see how much this game means to so many people. Hi, former voltage writer here (I wrote most of Saerys’ route) just popping in to say something. If you have more recommendations for VN apps, please let us know in the comments!

This community has brought so many fans together, and the mods are mourning this loss with all of you today. We’ve all laughed, cried and memed our way through our favorite stories, and gotten close to our favorite characters. (If you haven't, please see links posted by fellow members on this post and this post, or our post about the official announcement here.) We are absolutely heartbroken, as this game has been with many of us for several years. Hi all, by now you’ve almost certainly seen the news that Voltage is officially shutting down the Lovestruck app.
