Price is a mixture; authors make a recommendation about the release price, but it is the company that has final say. For me, they took my recommendation once and priced it $1 above my recommendation the other. Both times I would say it was the right call in hindsight.
There was no romance in it.
The game description never said there was? Itâs not mandatory for HGs to have ROs.
No. It doesnât but without it, its definitely a deal breaker for me if I want to purchase it or not.
Still, the game description never said it had romance. Hard to fault it for that when it was never advertised as a romance.
Some games donât advertise it but still have it the story. I figured yours was one of them.
Itâs not my game
Just a headâs up that not all HGâs will contain romance. If they do, itâs often listed in the description although not always. (My last one did have a RO but I didnât list it as it wasnât the focus of the game. Games that focus on ROâs will normally say so in the HG range.) If in doubt, itâs always worth asking on the forums before buying if thatâs the only reason youâll buy a game to avoid disappointment.
