What exactly is your motivation to argue in the first place? These people are calling out what they perceive as deception and you haven’t done anything but attempt to invalidate them. How do ‘uneducated words’ change anything about the initial argument? It is clear what these people were referring to with ‘scam’, ‘deception’ and other terminology from the context after all.
Thank you for the calm response.
As some of my messages are asking some people to better explain their point of view, it is only fair of me to respond when asked the same thing.
My motivation has adjusted since I've been around here (a couple years now). At first, yes, I did defend Komi. When someone made an aggressive post I responded in kind. Over time I have, in all honesty, tried to understand some peoples' point of view better. The only way I can do that is by asking for clarification. Typically I get rude responses or just a repetition of the previous post that do not help at all so, again, I respond in kind. Not out of anger but instead out of a "If that's how you're going to be, I might as well also" point of view. I realize it does not help the situation in any way, but such is life. In a previous post I made, I clearly state that everyone is entitled to their point of view as am I. My view differs a bit, but not entirely, from others. Therefore I ask questions.
I'll try to state my point of view on this whole situation.
I played the game a couple years ago. I enjoyed the game so I decided to donate a certain amount on Patreon. Once I had donated the amount I felt was fair for the amount of content that was released, I cancelled the membership. In my view, what I donated was a fair compensation and show of appreciation for the work Komi had done up to that point. Knowing the nature of how things work around here, I did not expect further work to be done, but had hopes for future content. I feel that if someone donated a larger amount in expectation (or some feel a promise) of more content, that is a decision they are solely responsible for. I have not seen anywhere that Komi has promised a release date. I've seen posts he's made stating when he *hopes* a release will happen in the past and then because of delays stopped giving estimates. That was quite some time ago. At this point, I am not sure if future content is coming, but if it does I will play it and enjoy it like when I first found the game and possibly donate more up to the value I think is deserved. If it does not, I wish Komi well with no hard feelings. In the end, the way I think, each person is responsible for any money donated and is not owed more content. I use the word "donate" because, to me, a donation is money given without expectation of a return. A show of appreciation and/or support. I disagree when people think they have bought a product or think of a donation as an investment.
If more information is needed, let me know. I just got out of work and I am tired.
