Because most of the ppl on this site have 5, 6 burner accounts to protect their games most of developers are pathological liars with several patreon burner back ups under alter names - if one game or other dont goes well they starting new project while milking older one , and when you try to say negative things, admins and mods deleting comments or developers and their concubines who defending those kind of games REPORTING HONEST TRUTH COMMENTS.
Thats why site turns into sensitive women behavior while real men are less and less around .
As smart man once said:
'' as much as master shave the wool of the sheep , and sheep will follow him ''
EDIT :
if you pay close attention, most of this kind of incest games are abandoned or still prolonged to nowhere of milking and never finished by my research around 91% games are - either abandoned or never finished and re-activated when developer return to milk for more and some newcomer followers (who was not prior, to know more how things goes around here) to swallow that bite.
No argument about gumdrop here, but as a general statement about games and devs, this post is complete bs, sorry.
In reality, most devs are honest, some are a bit lazy or unorganized, but overall they mean well, and their games are important projects to them.
I wonder what kind of research you did, that you claim such specific numbers as 91%, and I absolutely deny that your claims are in any way correct.
I've been on this site so many years now and in my experience for every finished game there are several unfinished ones, HOWEVER many of those just get 1-3 versions before the dev either disappears or gives up. Considering how little money those games make at that time, it simply makes no sense for them to be scams, or if they are, they are surprisingly unsuccessful.
That's sad sometimes, when the game starts out well, but considering the amount of games in general, it's no biggie.
It gets painful when games run for several years, sometimes with the end only a few updates away, and then they stop or the dev disappears.
I mean, obviously you can mistrust any dev in general and always declare everything they say is a lie, but what a sad life it must be to be so entirely suspicious of people (if they aren't politicians, lawyers or big corporate yahoos, then the distrust is deserved). Yet claims that most devs are scammers who start projects, end them when the money starts drying up to disappear and return a short time later with a new game, without any shred of evidence to back these claims, how am I, or anybody really, expected to give that any serious consideration?
There are obviously scammers, gumdrop being one of the worst cases, but the majority of devs? Come on.
