Apart from being a pirate site, this website is mainly a forum. A forum where people discuss the game's that are being shared, aswell as development processes and the developers behind it. Some developers are doing great, others..uhm, yeah. For various reasons, that is. And so people have opinions they are going to share, both positive and negative of nature. That's what a forum is for.
The general tone of a game's thread is usually dictated by how well the game is doing in terms of development time, content, flow of information among other things.
That said, this thread went down the drain alongside the game's development and stoper's bogus statements. I mean sure, the community itself plays a major role in it, but you can't expect fans of this project to act like everything is milk and honey when things slowly turn to shit year after year. Check posts in this thread made 3+ years ago, you'll notice that this used to be a much happier place, and in my opinion there's damn good reasons for it.
You are right, F95 does not owe us anything, but we are still here to discuss things and share opinions. You might not care unless it's people praising everything, but there are enough people who do like to read about other peoples opinions, me included. Doesn't mean we have to agree on everything, but telling users to go elsewhere because you don't like what they have to say has never been useful input.
I'd rather read posts from users hating or praising the game than someone telling others to go away or acting like nobody cares about what they have to say as that is- more than anything else, ruining the purpose of a forum.
Other than that, I agree that the post you replied to wasn't useful at all. lol
Cheers
