Yes, yes of course! Such things as for any creative person are very hurtful. So if you see that this game has unexpectedly come to an end, say thank you to such jerks. Go outside and get some fresh air. And everyone pays the money voluntarily. No one forces him to support the developer. You are only supported him, not buying him for yourself as a slave to create your favorite masturbation game.
I don't know. As "subbies" we pay monthly,
In Good Faith that the DEV Is actually "Working" on development of 'the Next update'. We Can Bitch, piss & moan, and/or be patient; taking into account that DEV may also have a "day job" or a Real life.
BUT What IS REALLY going on, especially for those DEV's who ARE in it for 'the Money',
or wanting to make a full-time job of it, Is Called DELIBERATE STALL treatment.
Think about it, WE pay $5,10, or $$ a MONTH for the DEV to Keep Our Fav game moving,...
- IF He/She Can produce next Updates too quickly, before Game End; DEV will lose Sub's/$$$
(who wants to CONTINUE paying $$$ for a Game That is Completed?).
SO, the DEV
Purposely drops and feeds US 'Breadcrumbs' to SHOW that He/She 'is working' SLOWLY on Next Update;
when ACTUALLY He/She Is NOT working at All.
And God Help Us If DEV Is working multiple game productions; having to alternate time between both. Or Wants a "Reboot".
(Basically Re-working ENTIRE Game from the Beginning to "improve" graphics/animation or dialog.)
STALL tactic! (It Keeps game 'moving', it keep subbies patient & keeps $$$ rolling In!)
- And What happens IF said DEV places game on ABANDONED list??
Do We continue, in Good faith to 'support' project??, That HE will come back and continue game??
How Many Months/YEARS do we have to wait??
These Dev's Who are 'in it for the money' have got us supporters by 'the short hairs'!!
-SO, We Can either Remove our support, and WAIT for Game Updates like everyone else,...
Or Continue getting Ripped off by these Dev's, who WANT to lead US around by the Nose.
- THEY Do Not CARE About US as players! They ONLY Care about Our $$$$
