History Trivia / SummertimeSaga

* ExecutiveMeddling: Since the Main Character is an ExtremeOmnisexual, this originally included his own family. Patreon was ''not'' comfortable with this element, forcing Darkcookie to change the characters to roommates who are [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial totally not related to MC]]. There are unofficial patches that undo this, although the dialogue might get odd in some places.
** This actually proved to have massive ramifications in the indie porn game industry. ''Summertime Saga'' is easily the most highly-funded and consequently the most ''visible'' porn game on Patreon, so it was the game that attracted attention for its incest content, leading to the subsequent Patreon ban on taboo content across the ''entire'' platform[[note]]it was actually a result of MoralGuardians making complaints to [=PayPal=], which handles all of Patreon's monetary transactions, which caused [=PayPal=] to lean on Patreon to purge taboo content[[/note]]. The ensuing crackdown led to a lot of erotic games following [=DarkCookie's=] lead by rewriting their incestuous stories, resulting in "landlady" and "roommate" becoming semi-sarcastic {{Unusual Euphemism}}s for "mother" and "sister" in adult game circles[[note]]whenever you see a game featuring the hero's "landlady" and "roommate" it's really incest-themed content in a PaperThinDisguise[[/note]] and leading to the proliferation of many external [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial "unofficial"]] patches to uncensor content [[note]]which have to be kept secret, as Patreon will suspend or ban even games that only contain incest through the use of a 3rd party patch[[/note]]. Many games where incestuous themes were too central to be written around, such as ''Dating My Daughter'' by Mr. Dots, were forced to be removed from the platform altogether (which consequently caused Mr. Dots to create ''VisualNovel/{{Melody}}'' to take its place as his primary Patreon content), sending many of them over to alternate and less-restrictive crowdfunding sites such as [=SubscribeStar=].

** Raz's appearance was heavily changed from his original conception as a more generic Russian crime boss with BaldOfEvil and a [[GoodScarsEvilScars nasty scar over his eye]] before firmly establishing him as a satire of UsefulNotes/VladimirPutin.
