Everyone has different price points, and different value expectations. If this game doesn't meet yours, you're certainly free to not buy in the future. 

Indie games and studio games are not directly comparable. Small games tend to come at a premium because they can't leverage scale like large production games can. Old games are not directly comparable to new games, value decays over time. Regular games are not directly comparable to porn games, for a variety of reasons: the bespoke aspect again, among others. But also because they serve a different niche. If you're looking for fast-paced FPS action, Cruel Serenade is not going to deliver. If you're looking to get off...I mean I'm sure SOME people can use Doom 2016 for that, but most would be hard-pressed to. 

If your objection is "This game isn't the most possible fun a person could have for $10!", you're probably right. There are a nearly infinite number of ways you could spend those ten dollars thanks to the internet, even if you restrict yourself to just video games. That's an impossible standard, and one I don't aim to meet. My value proposition is that there's enough content on offer to make the $10 worth-while, and at eleven scenes (many with multiple iterations), multiple smaller bits, multiple battle sex mechanics, stealth mechanics, and something like seven hours to see everything overall, I'm confident that most people will find it satisfying. There's always some subjectivity to these things of course. Personally, I couldn't get past the first few rooms of Tailbound without cheating because the difficulty spike is so rapid, and I didn't find the explicit content especially engaging, so for me it was a bit of a let-down. Obviously others have enjoyed it.

What it comes down to, however, is this: This game took a little over a year to make. With the two packs, at least a year and eight months. The price is good where it is, at least for the foreseeable future. Either the game's worth that, or it isn't worth anything.

And most people seem to be happy with that price point. But again, if the game isn't your thing, and you'd rather not buy in the future, that's fine. That's entirely your choice. As you've pointed out, there are plenty of other options out there. I make games, I put them up, and people buy them if they like what's on offer. If you don't, that's ok. If other games get you off better, play those, by all means! Just understand I never had any intention of competing with Left 4 Dead or Doom. That's not the sandbox I'm playing in.

Doomfurry96: 

That's a long winded way of saying "I already got your money, and I don't care". Here's a business tip, a majority of the people who have an issue, don't complain, I do. Your meager justification of "everyone is happy" is false. Your response to the various other options is that you don't care, and your response to a very much comparable priced game, gerne, and style is pretty much that you don't like it because you suck at video games. 

Be that way then, and since you've shown your true colors, all I have further to say, is go fuck yourself.

BitshiftGames:

It's unfortunate you feel that way. I'm always glad to engage earnestly, and on the merits, that's how things improve. But it's clear from your comment history you're uninterested, or unable to discuss things in a meaningful and respectful way, and that means any further discussion genuinely would be a waste of time.
