I really enjoy this game & accepted the consistent short monthly updates. I was a patron for a short while but gave it up as I realised it was going to take years for this game to come to fruition. Now I only download every 5th update which kind of gives a "standard" update length feel compared to other games.
The thing that makes me shake my head in bewilderment though - is NOT the fact that the dev does short monthly updates - but after more than 3 years of doing the same thing, people are still complaining!!! It's gotta be either masochism or rank stupidity... if you don't like it, complain once & then ignore the game. But some of the users here are STILL complainig after all this time!!
Sometimes I feel that humanity is doomed... "stupid" & "entitlement" are overtaking "common sense" & "respect".
