Of course, you're entitled to your opinions on the quality of the work, but I'd say you're probably in the minority of people who thinks the game just sucks all around. The devs wouldn't be making $20K a month if people thought the art, gameplay, etc., were of low standards or had no potential. This sort of grift does not work by offering a crappy product.
I believe that what I'm about to say has distinct bearing on the discussion of this title. Sad Crab has not delivered on a single consecutive promise during the time frame they set. I'm not talking about one, but three roadmaps.
The expectations that we the fans did not even create were not met in the time frame the developers themselves created. I'm sure the game is very pretty, and it has fancy coding systems, but that means actually very little when the primary purpose of the game has yet to be fulfilled according to the very developers creating it within the time they set with the goals they stated.
It's not fair to us as players to say that the amount of money they get every month is so much when we aren't getting what we want and were explicitly allowed to vote for. A large sum of what we voted for has not been implemented - what some of us have previously paid the full price of the game for. It's not acceptable to me, who gave them the full cost of a triple A title when the game was young. In that way, it has been a grift. For me at least.
I expect this comment to be moderated in some way or deleted, but it's important to me that I say this in an open way. I don't trust Sad Crab. I don't like what they're doing right now.
