Talking about democracy to a bunch of pirates!

Not that I'm laughing at democracy, but time and place. F95 hardly seems the place for it. On top of that, developers only use the site to get some more players and supporters for themselves. Some developers don't even like that their games have been made available here. Developers mostly care about the opinions of financial supporters, so the opinions here don't carry the same weight.
Edit: Came back because I remembered a F95 staff posted about this.
