1 - My point (even if it was rather long-winded) was that putting content in a poll alongside actual game mechanics/UI upgrades or reworking is a terrible idea. Working on the background stuff ON TOP of stuff voted for by the fans is an entirely different subject and decidedly not how the dev's post represented the situation.Counterpoint 1: Giving your patrons what they're asking for is ensuring that you can keep supporting yourself while working on your game. This is what I always reply to people who bitch about the furry/anthro content on Legend of Queen Opala.
Counterpoint 2: The Company, "Year of John".
2 - Not sure what this has to do with my point. The "year of John" is an entirely different issue which can actually be overcome by the dev always making sure there are smaller additions to the plot outside of anything to do with John in order to keep complaints to a minimum.
The funny thing is that both of these examples are perfectly flipped in regards to how the developer of Lab Rats is doing the sequel. The game mechanics being practically the entire focus of every update even if that meant game content suffered.
