People keep on I'm bashing the DEV, I'm talking about the PRODUCT people are paying for, which is pointless given the fact most people come here because they have no desire to even pay for it. If you're getting this for nothing then you're okay, whatever as I will be from now on.
I made comments about PC build pics because it's a pornographic game, years back if I got a porn tape/dvd, watched and the main star did nothing, then they went on to chat about what cameras they'd used to film ..... I'd be the same with that.
I have higher standards for products I pay for, the DEV isn't my pal and I don't want that, I just want a consistent and well made product. The latter they basically give, the former not so much.
I got stick for simply being good enough to financially pay for a month, even though I knew it'd be out there the day after top tier guys got it, again.
When all is said and done it's just a silly porn game though?
Yes, you are said to bash the dev and the game because what you say does not make sense when considering giving money to devs through platforms like Patreon, for example, and expectations you can legitimately have of it... That is so obvious for all ,except for you, they think you are trolling...
You think you pay for "something" when giving money on Patreon to devs but I don't think you are able define this "something"... Moreover, it makes you believe that the dev owes you that "something" when it is obvbiously not...
The way I see your pov:
I pay $20 for this game, therefore I am entitled to demand that MC is fucked at least 4 times per update, if that is what I want, to get my money's worth.
It does not work this way...
The business model for the games you find in this forum (with Patreon, Subscribestar, and the others) is completely different... It is a monthly subscription system
above all...
Wikipedia said:
Patreon is a membership platform that provides business tools for content creators to run a subscription service. It helps creators and artists earn a monthly income by providing rewards and perks to their subscribers.
This business model continues to exist because it works well for
most non-professional developers you find here (by non-professional, I mean developers who are not part of a company that pays them a salary) to be able to make the games they want on their free time. Without this, most of the games found here would just not exist.
That's how it works and what most subscribers accept : Do you want to get around this business model by "paying" just to unlock release links once in a while ? Ok, but that is not legit, it is tricking...
I support this dev for more than 20 months at $20, that means I gave $400... If I had the mindset to "pay" for this game, I would never consider buying it... Too expansive !!
What I do is not a purchase, it is sponsorship to help the dev making his game.
You manage your money the way you want on Patreon, but, complaining here, as if you were entitled to do it while thinking you pay for something is just ridiculous and get people mad at you... Ridiculous because you trick the system ("paying" just to unlock access) and you have the nerve to claim things no one owes you, especially the dev. The dev here does not owe you what you ask for
because this game is not made in the business model of a purchase.
You also had the nerve to say subscribers are undemanding but you are unable to understand what subscribers really expect and the actions devs, like here, take to fulfill their expectations...
The dev posted PC build pics to show subscribers he is working on real solutions to go faster and release sooner... It may not interest you, but, doing this, he maintains the trust subscribers placed in him : he
WANTS to go faster and be able to release in the 2-3 months and
shows he is dedicated to that purpose.
It has nothing to do with "being the dev's pal" or not... Saying that does not make sense... By saying that, you are not IRL, but in your fantasy world...
Your example is also a wrong comparison...
Porn tape/DVD are COMPLETED products... That means their makers will NOT add any more content to it. here, because Porn tape/DVD are COMPLETED products, it makes sense to say they are products you can purchase because such products and their content are clearly DEFINED : in other words, PAY to get them because you know what you give money for...
When you consider giving money for this game, be aware you are not purchasing anyting and it is NOT like Steam with its early access business model, in which you pay once for all to get the product when finished.
Other nonsense...
Why do you always feel compelled to answer to people here asking for next release date
when you KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the game schedule and dev progression ? For example, how much you evaluate the reliability of your "end of march, 4 to 5 months" you said for this V0.07 update you replied to Sevensham ?
I can give the answer : z-e-r-o (zero !!)...
You are just deceiving people when doing that... They do not ask for what you may THINK in your fantasies, they ask for RELIABLE informations from people who KNOW something
based on facts.
When you know nothing, say nothing...
It's the biggest criticism that we make to you here, you talk about things you know nothing about. You are among the few (if not the only one) to seemingly not grasp what is obvious for all...
And it's so obvious for some here, they think you actually take people for idiots and get mad at you...
The sooner you understand that, the sooner you will get less backfire from people who think you actually take them for idiots and trolling...
People who evaluate this game by the amount of sex scenes involving MC per update are wrong: this is not the right criterion for this game because the dev does not see his game this way and does not make it this way...
