You clearly don't know how the world works. Reviews are important whether you're the one paying or not.Why should your opinion matter to the dev, if you're not a supporter?
Peeps pay for a game. Try the game out, love the game. Dev keeps his promises. Peeps recommend the game. Dev listens to fans. More players come. Potential more supporters. There's always going to be the ones who "leech" and the ones who "finance" projects. But game is getting good reviews from both sides of the coin. This is a good thing.
Something then happens. Either real life gets in the way. Dev gets lazy. loses interest but doesn't have the heart to man up and tell peeps that. (looking at certain milfy guy)...whatever the case my be...Development slips. Empty promises are made. Even when content is produced its very limit or takes a whole year to put out. (looking at certain deer...). Quality slips. When that happens, the paying ones get upset because well they're shelling out real money in return getting nothing. But even the "parasites" as some call them in this thread also get upset. Reviews start to slip. Some become neutral and understanding. Some go straight to bad. Or start out understanding and then bad. Warnings pop up to stay away, dont support the dev. They're just scamming. The devs revenue starts to slip.
Doing that hurts the dev, not only one this game, but potentially any other project they start. As they gain negative reputation among the community. (looking at a certain Milfy guy...) Or you can take you're suggested route and say your not paying why should I care, and basically say fuck you to everyone and turn into a scam artist (again looking at certain deer).
Product reviews can make or break products. It is important to listen to what peeps (paying or not) are saying about your shit especially when you rely on your shit to support your life and/or future/current projects. If you ruin your reputation you'll have trouble getting your desired support later.
Now if you really didn't care about the money and released everything completely free and truly had the money is a bonus attitude. Then sure by all means. Why should they care what anyone says. Shit is free, so fuck all you unhappy folks. But that's almost never the case.
