I'll leave this alone after this as there are many other games to try, but for the record, I think it's important for users that are actually considering donating money to a game to take into account the maturity, intelligence, work ethic of the developer and the game itself into their financial considerations.
*snip*
You took your time to make a polite and coherent reply (albeit a bit pompous/pretentious, not offense intended), which is appreciated, so I'll do the same (most likely in a similar pompous/pretentious way
).
First of all, an intelligent and adult way of behaving was
not being toxic from the beginning, which the original poster did. Just as you said, he was actually clear about it, he did admited (not that it was actually some kind of crime, but was just rude).
Rayxelm just replied in the same tone. Which, again, is no crime, just
maybe rude (considering he was reacting).
They went back and forth (insert nasty joke, they won't be offended!), but in the end they solved the "issue".
One was not being clear, and the other didn't understood, and that was mainly the cause. Once they got around the problem, they also got around being "rude".
That's maturity.
They ranted at each other, then they understood, and kept going with no harm done.
On the other hand, you not only made an immediate judgement of the dev by a bad reply, but also immediately went and did a bad public review based on your personal view or thoughts.
Despite the poster and dev being rude at first, they were objective at the end and solved the problems; maturity is about being able to admit things (they did), apologize or explain if needed (they did), and advance. And neither judged the other, they just talked it over.
You judged, overreacted, and bring some pretentious "arguments" about how the dev has to act.
He does as he wants, and you can like it or not. Ray has been at this game all by himself for... 3? 4 years? and had to deal with tons of shit. We're all humans, and we all have boiling points, or a bad day. Same for the poster, which might just bursted out because he wanted to play and couldn't.
Basically:
they just ranted and bitched, sat down, thought it over, and worked it all. Mature.
You ranted and bitched, and made a rash decision. Not really that mature.
Anyways, there's no point in keeping going at this.
They solved their problem and everything it's fine, and you did your choice *shrug*
(final note: I'm not trying to be offensive at all. That's why I said
I might sound pretentious
)
