It's always people who clearly have never played the game that are the loudest critics!
Ouch, that hurts my soldier-background daisho-wielding one-turn-slash-man "werewolf" mc that only has a knotty wolf "part" where it matters
Without a doubt, for sure.
No because I'm not that much of a scumbag. I'd be grateful I have such loyal supporters and I'd make sure I could give them the content that they are paying me for. If I personally *couldn't* put out a monthly patch, I would even halt everyones' payments if I could, or put out an update that I literally will be unable to and they should cancel it for the month if I'm not able to do that.
I know this was probably sarcastic, but for people who think I haven't played the game, trust me, I have, way too much. What we have is great, I just think it's a very douchebag move to keep charging people while you put out no content for years.
Welp, Rich Dev Poor Dev situation right here. That's why you'll never get six-figure-yearly-income doing next to nothing, mate
This happens with "non-porn-mass-market" games as well. Whatever the motivation, there's a lot of people who, once "engaged," will defend anything, no matter how shady or outright immoral, afterwards.
Personally, I don't think she started with underhanded intentions. Burnout happens, and considering it's her first project, that probably came as a surprise. The whole "I'm going to milk this for all it's worth" aside, but let's be honest - that one's more on people who actually enable it with their money.
Yeah, snark doesn't carry too well in writing.
In psychology this is called "sunk cost fallacy"
I would feel bad to scam people for their money personally, so no, I will never make a pile of money doing literally nothing, and I'm okay with that.Welp, Rich Dev Poor Dev situation right here. That's why you'll never get six-figure-yearly-income doing next to nothing, mate
Mind, I'm not condoning her actions. But I can certainly understand the motivation behind them, even if it's a shit thing to do in my book as well.
FTR I'm well aware of all that, it's just shitty to do. AAA developers are absolutely no better (see yearly Call of Duty typically being worse than the previous one and forced down everyones' throats for $70 cuz they're scared all their friends will jump ship so they have to as well).
Which makes no sense to me, cuz when a dev does really shitty things, I tend to jump ship and give them the finger. This isn't an MMO, this isn't brand loyalty, it's a fucking porn game you can play for free to begin with.
It might make no sense to you, but the sunk cost fallacy is a very common phenomenon, not just in video games. Besides, her subscribers do get earlier access to what little content she creates. And it's always possible that she would just stop developing the game if her subscriber numbers fall too much. Which might be a justification some of her subscribers.
Oh of course, I was just saying in this instance not "in general, it makes no sense to me.
Don't get me wrong, I don't either; she's just one lucky bitch who gets to do nothing and profit greatly from it.
Oh, I fully agree with you on both. Just pointing out it's "tolerated" all too damn frequently.
The thing is, it absolutely does hurt you.
"Microtransactions don't hurt me since they're just cosmetic, so I don't care."
It's still being worked on, just that the older versions aren't on the server at the moment. If you replace 'lilith' with 'beta' you can find the latest beta version, just be warned that you may run into multiple bugs.
I don't care, not because it doesn't effect me, but because I alone can do nothing to change it and have no choice but to just sit back and watch as people I know gush over their waifu gacha games they toss entire paychecks at.
There has never been such a thing - and here it is again.
Well, if you put on the appropriate pair of Rose Colored Glasses ...
I'm not disagreeing or anything, just adding:
