you know why, it's hard to find honest devs AND quality products. the age old saying fool me once, twice, three times. yes we want you to be both, and we think you can be if you wanted to.I don't get why it's so hard to just move on and play other games if our games don't suit your tastes. Everyone is so entitled, specially when they're playing the game for free.
that's a straw man argument bro. think about it like this, how many people visit casino's regularly DESPITE losing money at them? some people are just that hopeless and stupid. those types of people don't care about quality or even being ripped off. they just wanna pay for their dream to MAYBE be realized.Which is very funny to me. I receive a lot more complainings from people WHO DID NOT PAY FOR MY GAME then from then people who actually supported me.
now with that said, i would like to think increasing your rep would increase your profits. and by 90%ing your games as a practice (to us pirates at least) your increasing your notoriety rather than rep... and hypothetically if your rep with us pirates improve, word gets around more and your profits potentially go up. or at least that's the idea. why do you use F95 otherwise? free bug testing? ideally you should wanna make pirates actually feel guilty about pirating your game though the sheer quality of the game alone. THAT would most definitely increase your revenue... and taxes. LOL
btw i'm seeing a bit of dissonance between "i told the story i wanna tell" and "i do this to make money to feed my family". and it's harming your games, even if only slightly. that slightly could just be the thing that's holding you back from making the big break your looking for. or... it could just be a little bit more extra work that goes somewhat unrewarded. aren't those good enough odds to gamble on? is there something wrong with an extra month or two of work? i mean i can fully understand the dread of feature creep. but that little extra is often time VERY much what keeps people who aren't the casino visiting types coming back for your next project.
