Dev's earning enough money to just buy hardware. And stuff ain't that expensive either.
Takes me 24 hours to order new hardware and have it delivered right onto my doormat.
Takes me an hour to set up everything correctly and even finetune in bios.
NVME ssds are incredibly fast. USB to USB from one drive to another (or use old one) is reliable and easy. And fast.
What's your point?
It's milking. It's been milking. It will always will be milking.
But every thread, and i mean.. Every. Single. Thread. - People talk about it like it's not happening, finding excuses.
Only difference here, dev's more engaged with supporters. Paints a different picture but in reality it's the same.
I'm not talking about someone milking someone!
I'm talking about the fact that installing new hardware on a PC leads to the installation of windows, which entails a fresh installation of daz, etc. I'm not even talking about the fact that when downloading old models on a "new PC", errors may occur due to missing files! I'm saying that it takes time!
To be honest, i don't know what kind of problem the dev has, if his hard drive is screwed up and he's waiting for a new one, then my question is, where were the daz models stored? If on a damaged disk, is it possible to restore them?
I agree that all projects and devs have the same tendency: first they put a lot of effort into the project, and after a while they realize that there is already a ready-made fan base of donors who won’t go anywhere and you don’t have to work so hard!
That's why i said from the very beginning that i'd rather get 2-3 updates (many game days and events with different characters) during this time than 1 big one update-event.
