I've been lurking this thread forever and made an account just to say this... So the reason you've spent the last 400 pages defending gumdrop comes down to the fact that you don't like people posting conspiracy theories like money laundering, calling him a liar for things like doubting he actually bought computers to speed up rendering times like when based on the speed of releases he most likely didn't, and you think it's stupid for people to preach to the choir and shit on him in this thread?
You're basically just whiteknighting him... why lol? What is it about you and gumdrop that you feel the need to constantly post in this thread to defend him from people making wild claims, call him a liar about things without 100% undeniable evidence even though he most likely did, or call him mean names?
So did you create an account, or an alt account? Anyways, what you said, been said before, so nothing really new there either.
Doubting someone, and calling them a liar, is two different things. The only thing we can really nail him for is to not deliver on what he said he would, when he said. Right? If you wan't to call him a liar for that? Sure. He can only prove us wrong by actually deliver. Which at this time need to be something quite extraordinary tbh.
If someone called you a criminal, and word start to spread you are a criminal. And your actual "crime" is you are a lazy prick, which by all means is not a criminal offense. You see where this is going right? If you want to throw shit at someone, do it for the right reasons, no need to make up a lot of bullshit or conspiracy theories in addition.
I'm quite sure if you dive through my messages on this board you will find posts by me in other threads where I spoke up when people attacked other creators as well.
You know what the phrase preach to the choir means right? Dozens of people post the same stuff and everyone agree to the same stuff, so what does that change anything at all? Does it speed up any release of the game? Do you make GD break down and cry? do you hurt his feelings? What is the sodding purpose? Nothing changes. If you want to change something, seek him out. Why don't you pen a nice letter to him and let us know the reply?
Oh, and my first post in this thread at page 26 or something, so your math is a bit off. That post was about what Patreon is, and nothing changed since then afaik in that regard.
