I'm not calling it charity. it's more like an investment u know will pay off, considering the relationship between the devs and the fans and how Rem delivered what was promised. is it a "bad deal" to support the developer of a high-quality product? if u want them to continue doing what they do and love their work, why not? with due respect, your logic is extremely short-term focused. I prefer to support them and get more games like KP, instead of enjoying this game for 3 months after launch and never hearing anything anymore from the devs because they couldn't pay rent.
side jobs were always part of the game. veterans remember when at first we didn't even have that much content and yet the bar was STILL there. the whole dialogue Karryn has about "why the hell this prison has a bar?" (the first time u visit it) is still in the game. it was always supposed to be implemented. silly? maybe. planned? absolutely.
besides that, Rem always communicated with the fans about side jobs and they were planned and discussed ahead of time. people were excited about strip club way before its implementation. The same goes for other side jobs.
well I guess u know how rare of a gem this game is and u are just upset Rem won't develop it for like 3 more years, while u consider supporting the game any further a "bad deal" because the remaining content is not 20 hours of grinding. not cool my dude. the devs of KP are honest and hard-working. it's not that big of a deal to just support people that pump out 10 mini-patches after a major update, just to bugfix their game as soon as possible. let's not focus on ourselves for once.
at least that's how I feel
Well it's awesome you are a mind reader, I heard you can earn good money by doing that, but maybe put your fanboy mentality to the side and read what I write instead of what you think I wrote.
As I mentioned before, the fact that side content likely won't be mentioned in the end and is only introduced with a basically throwaway line means there could literally be 50 floors of it and by not taking into consideration their popularity and expanding upon it he is squandering the games potential and no doubt this will be talked about on various forums even after release, in worst case leading to some bad press.
Remember Illusion? A company that is basically famous for that?
The gameplay loop is basically kill boss, move onto the next, which means, like every game in the same vein, hentai or not, it's easy to add more floors/lvls. Which some games actually do with extra bosses.
If I already paid 30, 20, or 10 bucks through Patreon then paying another 30 or even if I paid nothing at all, then paying for what the dev himself says is 2% more content is a bad deal unless you do it out of charity, which is even the argument you yourself is making "lets not focus on ourselves for once" that is the mentality you go with when donating to charity not when you buy a product, which is mine, if you buy and hardware or frankly any other software this mentality funnily goes out the window for a lot of people.
I don't know when this mentality of games not being products started or if it was always there but it never helps the consumer.
Finally, if I'm upset about anything, it's the fact the dude took like 6 months off for Island Saga which could have been used to develop this, but no, I'm not upset, I just think this is a rather stupid decision that I personally wouldn't have made, especially if we look from a financial point of view, which as I said, is what I care about when it comes to talking about games as products.
