"So... it was a bug," said Vincke. "The approval thresholds were too low when we shipped. That's why they were so horny in the beginning. It wasn't supposed to be that way. We've fixed it since, at least for some of them. We're still fixing a few of them."
He added the horniness "wasn't intended... especially Gale. [He] wasn't supposed to be like, instantly there".
Vincke continued: "There were a lot of people that enjoyed it. But it was too fast. It was supposed to simulate how real relationships are."
He also admitted that acting in real life as quickly as the companions did would be "problematic".
