That does seem the best course with this tenacious Felius Canis.

You haven't been in the WVM threads. There, even some mods jump in on the bitching and moaning band-wagon. It's beyond pathetic, you'd think that thread was an extension of 4chan. The site admin needs to raise the bar on requirements to become a mod. At least in this thread, users (for the most part) are pleasant and respectful.
Anyhow, I didn't mean to derail the thread. But these things need to be aired out at some point. Because for the most part, this site is pretty easy going and fun to participate in.
And on a final note, like everyone else, I'm super eager for the next update. I'm sure DigiB knows he/she's got the support and appreciation of the majority here.
And now I expect to have my post removed

To be fair. NO ONE is in the same category as BD.
so no i dont think he is talking about ppl bitching out for or vs bd works i think is about mods taken sides and the site being a little to dismissive about it but whatever .....there are plenty of places we can bitch about mods or not this one of them but not the right tread so what about we comment only what is in this one? bcs for one i dont like telling ppl to stfu no matter if he is wrong or not,everyone here have his own likes and dislkes ,but to someone compare a non work ethics dev with someone like digi b its too much,and if he is doing for trolling the other guy ,put a ps note bcs nopt everyone weill take this kindly

Same category or not it doesn't matter, the point is, as a user you have a choice of how to behave yourself. Either you behave like an adult or like a spoiled little child. If you don't like a product or opinion, how you respond to it determines what sort of person you are.

I agree with the sentiment in general. But yes, as a Moderator, they are regarded as 'peace-keepers' in sites such as this. When they decide to add fuel to the fire, then what's the point of them having that authority? Because I sure as fuck don't trust either of the moderators that are acting like children in that thread.
I was honestly about to write a huge long post, basically going through other things ive waited for that are worth the wait and why its so worth it. instead ill stick to one, and say as well to start with i agree
.Diablo 2 has for a long period of time been considered one of the greatest games ever released. Every single patch was a while coming(other than hot fixes), but fixed fundamental issues that for the most part would of been impossible to test for. A huge part of its success relies on those major patches. The devs CLEARLY loved the game they created and wanted to, as close as possible make a perfect product. But yeah they still missed stuff that needed to be fixed later because they just didnt think of it. That said, as great of a game as they made....everyone wanted an expansion. Most games in that time period if they had a successful title would pump out expansions not only quickly(before interest could die down) they would pump out as many as they thought they could sell a decent amount of copies of. Generally an expansion to a successful game took somewhere between a month and 3 months. The longest would typically be 6 months. Lord of Destruction the ONLY expansion to come out for the game....took a year. It is also, considered one of the greatest if not the greatest expansion to be released for a game. Greatness takes time. Simple as that. Instead of focusing on profit, or number of sales they focused on quality...and have basically become immortalized for it. The same applies really to any genre. Most of my favorite creators on youtube are the same. they release a video once every few weeks or in some cases once every few months. The wait is worth it though because it is ALWAYS top quality.
Basically if you want mediocrity then go view/play stuff that is rushed out. If you want something with QUALITY it requires time and effort. Any product can only fit TWO categories: Cheap, Good, Fast. Cheap has already been chosen by the dev(its free). Which means he has just one other choice: the choice between Good or Fast. He has clearly chosen the former. if that isnt your thing, then go download the plethora of other titles that choose cheap and fast.

As of the rest of your message, I agree with it 100%.
This little bit quoted above though, I feel I have to point out that this site only serves the purpose of reaching more users. Because for most creators this place is considered as a pirate site. That being said, most creators still don't mind this site distributing their product early simply because, most creators' perspective is simple, more people that use it whether for free or not, gets them a whole lot more feedback. Because ultimately, most creators are either solo or duo creators, or just a small handful of people working on the project. And this let's them reach a multitude of different user platforms to bug test on Windows(V, 7, 8, 10, 11 etc)/Linux/Unix™ & Apple. And thus have more user input for hotfixes for the final polished product.
And so, this place is allowed to thrive in distributing their creations in progress. Besides it would be practically impossible to shut sites like this down anyhow. So they make the best of the situation and rely heavily on users showing their appreciation with donations and financial support.

Unlike some developers who get to the point where they think sites like this are depriving them of revenue and start wanting to take back material, I think most developers realize that places like this still help--if the majority of people here don't support, it doesn't mean without F95 they would. They (and those who do support) would just not hear about their product.
I feel it is disingenuous to use "pirate sites" to get early recognition then expect to disengage when they get to a more active level.
I will continue to discuss here the projects I am working on. I don't plan on ever turning my back on this community.
