Sign of a committed following, or fans with too much time on their hands? Whatever the answer it's an indication of an intriguing game. It doesn't always happen & could be taken as a compliment by the Dev [& I speak as a veteran of the AWAM thread].

Definitely, that's why I wrote that I found it amazing. It is positive, when there's so much to discuss about a game without a recent update, when it's NOT just rants and people complaining and being angry.

I explicitly said, that I'm not saying the dev is a milker. My post was positive, otherwise I wouldn't have used the word amazed.
And yes, of course they are ever-growing rants and complaints in the threads for the big milker, that is the reason the threads keep on exploding. I also didn't NAME any devs specifically, so HOW can you judge whether I apply the label too lightly?

And no, not all threads for "good" (see I can use quotation marks as well) games, run like crazy without updates for six months, at least not all run more than a hundred pages during that time, not to mention that both BaDik and Broken Dreamers are on a completely different level when it comes to popularity than Halfway House is.
But hey, if you want to needlessly start a discussion with me over something I perceived as positive, be my guest. I mean, I won't be participating, but you do you.

Jesus!

Hey dude, sorry if you thought I was attacking, but chill out.

I don't wanna argue, I just pointed out that the behaviour that you said was normal for milkers, to me was normal for lots of good games.

Also the label thing was totally a generic statement, not directed to you, sorry if you felt that way.

guys read the threads

tl;dr Sorry, but that kind of logic is worse than just asking a question in the first place. The kind of b.s. that leads to googling a problem and finding threads ending with "just google it" as an answer.

I just read through this thread from a while back. Lots of "game is off my harddrive" and "i'm done waiting" and "it was my favorite" type posts. Why should people have to sift through the irrelevant discussion hoping for a specific tidbit of information when they can just post a question? On top of that even if the dev said early next year, the topic still gets "another month and no eta" updates so it'd be normal to wonder if the early next year thing was accurate info.

I usually tell people to use the top right hand search bar whenever most people ask questions as many times they can find the answer to what they are looking for very easily by typing in update - password - abandoned and so on. Just make sure it's set to this thread only.

Before searching a thread the first thing people should do is go to their patreon and see what new info there is but many fail to do this.

Man this game is amazing, I always find that the best novels in here have are on some kind of break or delay but I guess this ones worth waiting. Thanks for the game!

The answer to your question is: It is called netiquette.

A forum isnt a search engine where you type your question and receive an answer. But forums like this actually include a search engine as an extra tool/feature/enhancement to exactly avoid what you are asking for. Every single post is using storage - different from a search. That means you create extra storage for backups etc just because you are lazy. Dont expect others to support your laziness.

by those words i hope that in the future in a life and death situation where you need an immediate answer...someone will also give you the runaround and monologue you about the same things you have been saying...and in the end you get nothing.
