Oh, of course it is real Taka! HTC never troll..Wait, is that for real now or not?
The "rich steal" arguement while valid in a vacuum doesnt't apply here, since DPC is literally holding on to a lottery ticket with every delay. He's not cashing in $XXmillionen for what 50-60k patreon money ? Yea, I'm gonna say no to that one...the fact that he doesn't need it is not much of a defense, the rich steal, and they usually steal more
first he increases the number of animations (with some in my opinion objectively ugly, like the water park), now decides to double the work for them. (The animation of the beginning of the ninth chapter would have cost more than a month and a half now...)
And it is a choice by which he makes sure to earn that much for much longer, he may be unaware of it but that is what it is.
the idea of the perfectionist is a fairy tale: he can't be a perfectionist someone who hasn't yet managed to make Jill smile, give Maya decent skin, remove Josy's steel bite, fixed Bella's proportions, or have a Sage who doesn't look like she just ran 10 km. if he wants a better product, work on that.
this is understandable behavior, but not so noble....
to me DPC constantly gives the impression of someone who is terribly bored doing what he is supposed to do, an AVN, then takes as much time as he can in doing something else: the minigames, the phone, learning how to do something else etc..
People are just afraid of being banned for the slightest displeasure with the controversial decisions of DPC.
Next big DPC controversy: Why doesn't MC have pillowcases that match his sheets?
Sage is shiny again... Well, we have 60 fps with Sage's boob job!

So all this milking talk...C'mon bro, I can take the milking talk from others but not from you, you should know better.
When he banked half a $mill for Season 1 on steam and then between $3 and $15mill for Season 2, it removed money entirely from his decision making process.
He knows Season 3 will set him up for life, Season 4 will do the same for his kids and the inevitable full game remaster will make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. And that's JUST steam, it doesn't even include all the other plattforms.
There is only one single metric that decides when a new Episode will release, and that's whenever DPC is happy with it, nothing else matters to him anymore.
He will never stop pushing the envelope each and every episode, because this is it, his magnum opus. He would have to be a special kind of stupid, and while he is many things, stupid isn't one of them, to not ride the BaD train to Neverland and start a new game after BaD.
So you were right a few months back when we discussed a Sep. 15th release date, we really are too old for this shit
I think that is probably the most accurate take. You'd have to be have so many PCs with 4090s and churn out 75,000+ renders just for one episode. Dude is insane.He's a fucking psycho. That's my take.
Finally something worthwhile.
Oh you're 100% correct. I'm similar in that sense and I know for a fact that DPC is a psycho-perfectionist. I'm doing around 40-second music edit for Being a Dik and I've already spent 3 months of my free time here and there to change it or make it better.So all this milking talk...
I'll call him a milker in jest, but I don't believe it's necessarily true. DPC's work ethic, as observed from his consistent output since the conception of AL, shows that he is a driven man who can produced high quality products in this field.
After AL, DPC set his sights very high, and he knew he was up for several years of production. The issue here is that as time goes by, technology increases and with that, so does DPC's ambition.
So from our perspective, the development is starting to just drag on, but from DPC's perspective, he is putting out higher and higher quality.
It may result in this game being completed around 2030. And thinking about that now, that's a daunting wait! But for anyone picking the game up when it's complete without enduring this wait, it'll be a fucking good game. It'll be something that DPC will be proud of (as much as you can be proud of a game focusing on people fucking each other).
Actual milking would be to try to squeeze every last dollar out of the game, that would be like going back and remastering the whole game once it's finished, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, if people want it, they'll pay for it. A bad example of that is remastering older episodes before even finishing the game, that kind of milking is just unethical.
Then there's what he-who-shall-not-be-named did: Just stop production completely and still accept people's donations, and then throwing them a bone when they start to realise nothing's being done. That's not even milking, that's just outright theft, but if idiots wanna keep subscribing to someone like that, it's on them.
So is DPC adding all these animations and increasing the quality in order to prolong the development in order to rake in millions more? Or is he a fucking psycho who loves doing this shit and just can't control himself when it comes to making each episode bigger and (arguably) better than the previous one?
He's a fucking psycho. That's my take.
I feel you, that game gets you hooked, the kind of game you take a day off when the new episode is out
Like said, I started a new game, played through it a number of times already, this isn't my first run-through, but the point was that it still takes hours to get through the game.I feel you, that game gets you hooked, the kind of game you take a day off when the new episode is out
But once you're finished you're gonna live the agonizing wait like all of us
