So, imagine people start talk about YOU doing child erotica, money laundry, dealing drugs, and whatever else crap. With no actual consequence, and without providing any facts, evidence and so forth. Have enough people repeat the same bullshit it must be true right? This is what I call "witch hunt" on. Not one of the people that keep repeat this bullshit been willing to do anything else than run their mouth. In the real world, there is something called consequence of your actions. Once consequence creep into the picture, people feel less inclined to do something that might fall back at them, true?
Now with his game on steam, with another public discussion forum, and review system. It should give the rabble means to go after him there right? Repeat these claims. But maybe, they don't want to due to the consequence the scale might tip back at them.
That he not been truthful and deceived his patreons about updates and release dates, is something completely else. The evidence for this is his own actions and wrong doings. When his last release date was set, I commented on it would never happen, because, why should it?
I don't discredit people's concern about state of the game, lack of release updates and so forth. I do discredit people putting forth bullshit they got no valid claim on. The history of gaming is full of devs that taken the money and ran, lies, and bullshit.
People throwing their money at projects that never materialized. Just because you can't understand why someone still throw their money at something, doesn't make it criminal, it make it stupid.
It's a difference between defend cause and reason. If you want to burn GD, do it for the actual reason, no need to make up crap because you fail to understand why people do something, like still support him.
