Fan FAQ:
Q: "Is the game really abandoned?" (frantically gesturing at tag)
A: No. The game is not abandoned. It's a tag that is auto applied to games by the forum Powers that Be after 18 months without an update.
Q: "WTF!!!!11!!!BBQ!!! It's been YEARS since an update!"
A: No it hasn't. It's been about 18 months.
Q: "Why doesn't Komi just freeze his Patreon for now?"
A: Because he's devoting his time to making this game in which the MAJORITY of players are getting for free. If he were to stop taking Patreon donations while developing the game what do you think would happen? He wouldn't be able to pay his bills, buy food or buy more assets for the game which would force his hand to get an outside job. You think the update wait is long now? Just think of what it would be if he had to work 8+ hours at another job instead of devoting as much of his time as possible like he does now.
Q: "Seriously, why should I pay for this game on Patreon?"
A: You don't have to. Patreon is a CHOICE. No one is forcing you or anyone else to donate. Besides, you aren't paying for the game in and of itself. You are DONATING money to someone who has the talent (or is learning the talent) to make a game. Who has decided that they wish to make a form of entertainment that others enjoy.
Q: "Why do so many people donate on Patreon to Komi? The tag says ABANDONED!"
A: Because those people actually read the forums and other information sources and see that Komi is still working on the game. They wish for him to be able to continue his work so they show their continued support. What business is it of yours anyway on how people want to spend their money?
Q: "Why is this release taking so loooooonnnnnnggggg?"
A: When he began making chapter 1, he made the decision to wait until chapter 1 is complete. From what I have read here in the forum, he has realized it wasn't the best choice and has stated that future updates will be released in segments to reduce wait time. For now he is locked into his decision.
Q: "Just release the game as is right now. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece. Why are you making us wait?"
A: Stop trying to speak for everyone. You don't have that right. I think, while anxious for a release, many (maybe most) people following this game want the same quality (or better) as was shown in the prologue. Anything less would be a major letdown.
Q: "Why do you care if Patreons or free players voice their concerns anyway?"
A: Because there's usually not much variance, if any, in what they are saying. "Echo chamber" is certainly the correct terminology for this. Most "concerns" are echoed so often that it has just become an annoyance. Most of you have beaten the dead horse so long that it's now a puddle.
Q: "Why is <insert question here>?
A: Seriously, use the forum search or just browse through the forum a little bit. There's a 95% chance your question has already been answered. Many... many... maaaannnnyyyyy times...
