It's even funny to read this, especially since you wrote this on a pirated site. If people buy from the author and post a link to the new game on the day of the release, everyone will download it. Even you, if you don't subscribe to the author, will download the new game. Every author will find their own donors who will support them even with such long delays in updates.
Yeah I know its cliche because I am one of the ones who keep asking for leaks, but Byte has been on it for so long that out of respect for the effort, people need to give him sometime to atleast wait for him to release it or atleast dont leak it same day, having such a huge update leaked out directly would just have it demoralized to even consider continuing.

I remember that back when the original release date for the full update was announced, Byte created a special extra tier. There were people who subscribed in advance—before the update was officially released. So they paid money to get the announced update as it was supposed to be delivered back then. Then it got delayed again at short notice. Eventually, the decision was made to split the update.

As a result, the people who paid in advance didn’t actually get what they originally paid for. At the time, it was said that the update as a whole—or at least the second part—wouldn’t be delayed by much, and that this part would basically be delivered for free afterward. Now, for whatever reason, Byte has decided to add even more content. But I don’t believe that the people who subscribed back then will get this update for free. He already said back then something along the lines of “maybe they won’t have to pay the full price.”

If that’s not milking, then I don’t know what is. Those people showed trust by subscribing to that new tier in advance. In the end, they didn’t receive the update that was originally promised. So if it comes down to it—and I fully expect that it will—that they won’t get this update for free despite having subscribed specifically for it back then, then that is milking in its purest form.
Lol there are much worse milkers than to call it on one incident, its not even a pattern, and who know maybe theyll receive it for free, if not well thats something we ought to wait for.

Here's my question: are you subscribed to this author? Tell me honestly why you defend them so fiercely, this author, and you respect them in every sentence, and you should give them a chance. Well, maybe I agree with you, but you should understand that people pay money, and a month has passed, and they haven't received what the author promised, and this, as you said about the author, also demoralizes them and discourages them from subscribing further. And yes, I know some of the milkers well; some authors milk their donors for six months. Well, we'll see what happens when the update comes out.

Yes I subscribed definitely, and I rarely ever decide to support devs for the past decade. I know so because I have been discussing with him for months so I got an insight and know what's happening, he knows his current development method was a mistake and will change it to smaller more consistent chunks, because an update with over 2000 renders is too much for a single guy with a daily job also. The release's quality will speak for itself.

Of course he will) He will think it's worth it and he will be offended that he was poorly assessed and enough of this incomprehensible hypocrisy

Whoah... A lot of lying in this post... So I think I need to answer it at this point. It's obvious that you're a hater, because I see you're only making full of negative comments in this thread, but making up so many lies to slander a dev is really mean buddy.

First of all, I created that tier only after I had clearly announced that the update would be split into two parts. In other words, I informed people about this first and then opened that tier. I didn’t do this after people had already subscribed. So there's no such thing as “people subscribed expecting one thing but got something else.” So this is a big lie told just to make me look bad and like a scam dev.

If you don't believe me, check my discord posts, here. Look at the dates of the posts.

Secondly, I never said that the second update (0.8) would be released for free. I only said that, and only out of goodwill, I could offer it at a discounted price to those who subscribed to the $30 tier for the 0.7 update.

And now, if you look at the initial announcement for 0.7, it was planned to be released as a single update with 2000 renders. But now, 0.7 and 0.8 each contain nearly 2000 renders separately. So the update that was planned as 2000 renders has now reached 4000 renders. It's nothing like the original plan. It contains significantly more content. Twice as much. It means twice as work also. So it seems like there's a logical reason for the delay, right? Now tell me, how reasonable is it to ask for this for free?

So yeah, I'm sorry but your pathetic attempt to smear me using chatgpt didn't work. Try again later, buddy.
Hey mate pro tip to stop the haters..........release your damn game !

I know one creator who, for fuck's sake, makes two games, and sometimes he has more renders in each update, and somehow he manages to release one game after another without making up stupid excuses or delaying releases. This creator just keeps saying that two thousand renders is too much for him. He should ask friends or hire someone to collaborate on big updates and release them on time, then business on this site will take off, and the game on Steam will bring in decent money.

Apparently the original post was deleted, or he deleted it himself. This kind of self-righteous behavior is exactly what makes my sympathy for developers like him fade. He should take a good look at himself instead of just venting his personal frustration here. What the hell does ChatGPT have to do with my statements? The assumption that I’m using ChatGPT to build some kind of argumentative foundation is ridiculous—what is that accusation even supposed to be?

There were even people on his own Discord who complained about the constant empty promises, people who had subscribed early in good faith back then. And yes, it’s possible that I’m mistaken about when the special tier was created (sorry about that) and that it only became available with the update, but fundamentally that changes very little about my argument. Byte promised those people that part 2 would be delivered quickly and made available to them. Those supporters are not to blame for Byte suddenly needing almost eight more months to produce additional content. They were entitled to more and are now being asked to pay again.

Sure, it’s more content now, but he was more than happy to take their money back then under false promises. The level of double standards here is unbelievable. It’s astonishing how little self-reflection a person can have. Instead of complaining on such a ridiculous basis, he should finally just release his long-overdue update.

Wait till he releases the update at 23:59 at his local time, or at all again just out of spite.
For context his "it will be released at 2 days from now" has already closed the 2 days mark ( hour of post to today's time) and we are going strong to the 3rd day.

Useless info : i was one of the old subs of his earlier days as well, just turbo letdown now so i won't sub ever again. People that ask for support (in this case real money) and give little to no information of what is your money going towards really each month, deserve no sympathy from me.

I'll give you some advice too: take the author's balls out of your mouth that you're sucking on and it will be fine.
Maybe you should and re-read what he was saying, he was telling this dev if he wanted to stop the haters, he should release the update instead of shit talking everyone here, since the dev was talking about all the hate this game gets, especially with all the delays in updates literally every single time after the update has been announced multiple times.

Oh come on—are the subs supposed to be the ones “delaying” the update now? He’s already a professional at that himself.
It's not released yet. that's a message for before the release. no idea what it says. i'm not subbed.
