There is no argument that you generate a high amounts of hate from people who are unsatisfied for one reason or another with you or your project. Even the blind man can see it.I never deleted any comment on my site as long as they didn't contain any "inappropriate words" which you shouldn't say on Patreon for a reason you all know about! And if I did that I always messaged these patrons where I told them the reason why I deleted the comment! Since the beginning there have been some cases where patrons asked me why I deleted their comment although I didn't. They just wrote it again. It also happened once or twice to me either that I answered someone but somehow it wasn't posted. So, I don't know the explanation why this happens. If you scroll through the comments of my posts on Patreon you will find a lot of critical comments where people even bash and attack me! Why the hell should I leave all of these comments but delete some where someone is maybe offering help??? That makes no sense!
You really should finally stop with spreading these fake news here cause it really starts getting annoying! Plus stop tearing apart anything I say just because I'm more direct and not hiding myself behind some hypocrite mask!
Personal attacks, lies, name calling, threats ect are all bullshit. Haters gonna hate. Unfortunately you are going to have that. There is no "Safe Space" to avoid it all if you stay in this business. This is the internet... There are a lot of hate filled people out there. Many people have lashed out at you.
That being said, not all criticism is unfounded. When the four meters fill up to 100% and the game isn't out soon thereafter then a lot of people start to run out of patience. They grow more and more frustrated and angry the longer it takes for a release.
You need to learn to better differentiate "Legitimate Criticism" from a "Hater".
As a developer it would behoove you to be as understanding as possible of a legitimate gripe that some folks have right now with all of these delays. When engaging with players it makes the most sense to keep your temper in check or you just hand the haters more ammunition to fire shots right back at you. It becomes more difficult for your fans to stick for you when you lash out at the haters.
If you take anything away from this post take this away:
People don't want excuses. People want results.
