I ain't up to any debate bruv. This is me getting triggered by when update concern trolling and I'm already over it so probably my last response.
That's great that you are capable of making basic financial decisions, happy for ya. But the second part is patently bullshit. Wtf reason is preventing anyone from unsubbing/refunding? Unless they want to keep paying, which is entirely on them. And if they do keep paying and still come here to spam when-updates that's fucking worse.
I'm not telling people any of those things but whatever, this is not a conversation it's you arguing with things I haven't said and me pointlessly trying to get you to acknowledge and engage with what I actually said. To conclude...
Mate, its up to you or not to continue. We are just having a discussion, dont take it personally.
Also, do you even remember how this discussion started? It was a simple message exchange where you said, to quote your words "I don't understand how you can demand something from a developer if he has nothing to report", which i replied to saying even a "no updates yet folks" message would be better than nothing. In other words, nothing is preventing anyone from unsubbing or not playing anymore, as nothing is also preventing from making a simple comment such as the one you questioned "Dev does not inspire confidence with silence".
And of course your intention was not to tell people to stop complaning and sharing their thoughts... you just called them annoying for doing so IN A FORUM, even implying everybody else agrees to yout opinion. Also said they dont have a life just for that. As you can see, all i said is only based on your messages, where you assume whatever the hell you want and tells about how the posts irritate you:
Ex. 1: "I doubt it because you could've communicated on patreon or discord. If that's not possible, you can just unsub if you don't like the dev/his work. And then you can re-sub if/when you want, like when he releases, and then unsub again so you don't have to pay for delays. Instead you are complaining here, to other pirates who mostly just check the threads for updates and move on with their lives. I can't stop you from doing that, ofc, but it sure is fucking annoying to me and I think most people."
Ex. 2: "Mischaracterizing online strangers' posts is no way to go through life son. A patron's way of giving a shit would be to unsub. Spamming when-updates on f95 over a two-week lack of patreon posts indicates 1> not a patron 2> no life or interests outside of stupid fap games."
You managed to turn a simple forum discussion into a way to complain about peoples attitudes and their way of sharing their thoughts. Then again, the cave is still an option my dear friend XD
