Right. I was referring only to a post that tried being funny by calling someone an idiot and that DPC doesn't listen to what the Majority says or thinks, which again, is wrong. He very much listens, which is still a shocker to me.
And we know this how? I mean, I'm sure he sees what people say on Patreon, and on Discord, and maybe even here if he's lurking, but just because he may be aware of people's views doesn't necessarily mean he will make any changes. If DPC doesn't plan to do anything tragic or fatal to Quinn later in the game, then he shouldn't do anything to her just because some people express a disliking for her character. People may like KRJ, but that doesn't mean he should give her a sex scene if he never planned on her having one.
I honestly would lose a lot of respect for DPC if we found out that they made any changes to the story or a character's arc on the basis of what their supporters say in the Patreon comments or on Discord. Whether a character or story thread is perceived to be popular or unpopular, they shouldn't allow this perception to dictate or alter their originally planned story.
I'm sure. However I would bet that most of the "constructive criticism" that DPC gets is all about how he screwed this or that up, how someone's favorite girl didn't get enough game time, how he needs to add more of someone's favorite fetish, etc. etc. Honestly I feel sorry for developers today who actually get a "fan base".
I think sometimes that the crowdfunding Patreon model gives people a false sense of control, that some people believe because they're paying this developer to produce content that this makes them the creator's boss and that they can dictate what kind of content gets produced otherwise they will pull their support. But they are not the bosses, they are supporters in the same way that sports teams have supporters, and just because a few of them might threaten to not buy new jerseys for the upcoming season doesn't mean you have to do the trades they want or play the team the way they want.
