I'm well aware of all the drama and controversies that surround YanDev due to morbid curiosity surrounding the topic, which is specifically why I made that statement in the first place. There are actually a handful of similarities, both in the development-side and how this all went down with the drama afterwards:Just read up about the Yandev and I've concluded that these developers are in no way similar(Except for Review Maniuplation). I mean, comparing a dev who manipulates reviews to an alleged pedophile? Seriously? That's just disrespectful...
-Both devs started out with little experience in programming, yet their respective projects gained a following very fast, if for different reasons.
-Both devs got sidetracked with absolutely unnecessary sidestuff thrown into their games that remind you of padding/filler, yet didn't enhance the core gameplay, thus bogging down the experience that gained them their traction in the first place.
-Both devs seem easy to confuse genuine criticism with hate leveled against their person.
-The second some serious accusations enter the room, both love to write absolutely massive manifestos that do nothing to simply deny the accusations, yet somehow manage to dig the hole they are in deeper with every other word.
While not nearly in as much controversy as YanDev, the broader strokes do ring a familiar tune, which is why I've said that. Though there's not really any room to disagree that YanDev is worlds worse than most, if not all devs that I've heard of.
