So eh do you 3 always come together and jerk each other in this tread? It has nothing to do that we get the game for free or not. I play it for free as well. Some delays aren't a big problem as well, because (for me) this game isn't even in the top 20, so I can wait till it gets out. However there are some devs that bring out their game weekly or monthly right on schedule (ex. Braindrop, Mr Dots) and did have a delay. The difference though is that they were on point every single time and having a delay on a rare occasion isn't a problem, it can happen. But when it becomes a standard for a dev to come up with excuses and delays, then you will lose trust.
People think they are cool behind a keyboard and this is an example, if you don't like the update schedule go somewhere else and don't be a keyboard warrior
This is an example of a keyboard warrior being a white knight coming to defend his supreme lord and wont accept that he is doing anything wrong. His delays and then his lies afterwards define what kind of person or group P&P are.
I was a hell of a lot more devastated when cdprojecktred announced they are delaying Cyberpunk 2077 for whole bloody year, I would understand to be pissed off about that than 5 month updates
This is a stupid argument. Would you accept it if a company gave out updates every 5 months to make whatever they are doing better? No of course not, if something is broken, your game will be forgotten after 3 months of not fixing. The quality of their updates is on par with plenty other devs that deliver the same quality (story and CG), but way faster.
The amount of $ they are getting is low for a reason, they lost the trust of the people who want to support them. It's a good game (it wont get any better, sorry) and they would get more supporters if they improved their production and gained the trust of people who are not sure if they should support them. And I am not saying "try to improve" because they made that promise back with the last update and they fucked that up. They should either never talk about releases, but only show previews like some devs do or communicate better and improve themselves.
You guys can go "an example of a whiner who can't accept 5 month updates" and continue your circlejerk for all I care. But don't talk shit to people when they have the right to blame the dev for all the lies.
