What the heck...
F95 isn't an individual, so the only ones who have to "deal with the consequences" here are people who just came here to innocently download a game, and Runey, who could lose some potential fans in the process just because the only version people can download is bugged and not playable.
No one wins in this scenario. Just putting the previous version of the game in the meantime would benefit absolutely everyone.
Also I don't quite understand how someone with 2000+ messages can have a beef with people downloading games on F95. This is so weird. Every single dev I pay for in Patreon I found them here first. F95 can be good advertising, but it doesn't work if the game is unplayable to begin with.
And since when have we evolved from a dirty pirate site?
It is simple, if a newer version is leaked, it will be added to the OP, regardless if it is a "final", "pre-release", "beta", "alpha" or even "nightly" build.
It is correctly advertised (as beta3 not new version from Runey), so anyone who can read and think for themselves know what to expect and can make a decision based on that. If you want anything different, discuss it with the staff or uploader, we the "normal" users haven't that power - other than call them, write what is and ask them nicely. Best what could happen is that the 0.17.2 links are back again (with the beta links).
