If I complain, it's entirely to point out why I'm not a financial supporter. If my complaints were addressed, then I'd be glad to become one.
But I've been largely dismissed or ridiculed, by the dev and some fans. So they're not going to get my money, even though I enjoy the game. Ellie is still one of my favourite characters
I found out that some fanboys didn't want the free distribution of this game to stop and I was very disappointed about that.
(I'm not saying that free distribution should stop, I'm just saying that the fanboys are making it sound like they're talking for this game, but that's not the case.)
I said that sharing teasers is the right of the person who purchased it and that sharing teasers is a very basic business activity that helps promote the game as well as revitalize this forum.
But, fanboys shared the nearsighted developer's rage here, and their attacking the person who shared the teaser even as they played with the shared teaser.
Ordinary people said that this developer should aim for additional income through additional investments, and this is also a very basic business method.
However, fanboys were firm in their belief that extra spending meant extra loss, and they shared that same value with this game's developer.
And when people who are unhappy with this developer said "This developer needs to focus on the main story" his fanboys said "no".
When people said "there are too many unnecessary characters" the fanboys said "no", and when people said "the story and route are too fragmented and too many" the fanboys said "no".
And when the game was in development for over 5 years (and even before that), people complained that it was too long, but again the fanboys said, "Nope."
But now this developer says he will focus on the main story.
And there are characters he has given up on and he once complained that the game seemed out of his range of abilities.
And because the game is old, the developer retouched and changed some scenes.
Lastly, this developer is currently working on a Steam version, in order to invest additional money in hiring staff.
I, like people else on this forum, bought this game, stopped buying it for the same reasons, and like people else, I still intend to buy it again if my complaints are fixed.
But I still don't believe this developer.
And, fanboys with no intention of buying, and complainers with intention of buying.
Fanboys have always been wrong and still are wrong.
