There is a difference between disappointment and false statements.For me, WinterW has the right to be disappointed with Gumdrop's horrible behavior.
I am disappointed as well, but this doesn't change the fact, that Gumdrop has provided some content in the last one and a half years. I don't say that this is or should be enough, but the fact is he did something here.
Again, "absolutely nothing" is not true. But I agree that people have the right to feel disappointed.It's crazy when you think he was supposed to deliver the update in May 2018. 2018 dude. Then he said on July. Afterwards, he said "ok I'll be sure to release on January 25, 2019". He got a lot of criticism when he announced that date but claimed he would be sure to deliver it at that time. It was supposed to be the final deadline. But here we are July 9, 2019. Absolutely nothing.
It's their money and their decisions. I don't impose anyone to support Gumdrop, but I also don't forbid this to anyone.I'm genuinely sad for some of his followers because Gumdrop hasn't been worthy of their support.
Also, I don't understand why moderators on F95 tolerate this. Why is it "On hold" and not "abandoned"? Because he posts some stuff on Patreon (essentially polls now)? Then could we write some lines in the opening post of this thread in order to warn some potential patrons? I know it has been done for other games.
However, I don't mind some kind of the automatic warning system about potential delays in release.
For example:
- delay by three months - yellow warning
- delay by half a year - orange warning
- delay by one year - red warning
