Preface this with, I have nothing against Nefastus Games personally or ideologically, I assumed incorrectly he was following a trend that many developers are beginning to do site wide with impunity.
I apologize if anyone perceived or otherwise were offended by my previous post.
You didn't need to download 2.5-3gb. The Dark Story added version is less than 200mb.
It's not a patch. You didn't bother reading anything posted before tossing shit at something you knew nothing about.
I concede that file size information I procured on the Midlife Crisis [v0.33 - v0.1 Dark] was wrong. Its a fork, if there were patch notes detailing this fact. I wouldn't have jumped to my own conclusions.
As for patch notes -- you realize this isn't an official gaming site right? Sure, some developers like Nefastus does provide their products directly to the site (to at least have some control on the use of their product and have conversations with the gaming community that doesn't support their efforts even with a penny of donations) but most of the time its someone not connected to the developer uploading it. As for making developers do something so that a site that promotes itself as a pirate website can make its users who want something for free happy. Please, check reality.
Yes I am very much aware that F95zone is a non official content disturbing site and yet there are rules; rules on posting, rules on how to communicate with other users and rules on a particular format requirements to post as a developer and those that do not follow this format are requested to change the post or the download links get blocked.
Site Admin and Moderators hold all the control here, why would I need to check reality when you (collectively), you can see post being actively written, ban, block, limit or prevent any user from doing any action for non-compliance just make addendum to the rules requiring patch notes being up dated to the releases at time of release on the links that are posted or links get blocked.
I am not trying to act rebellious. I just proposed an easily implemented rule change. That would be more of a quality of life change site wide.
You aren't a consumer - you are a user. A consumer pays for something --- the vast majority of people on this site never pay a penny or donate a cent. They are users. I am a user. But, except for a small minority that actually do subscribe or buy a product, we are all users looking to get something for nothing. The hypocrisy and irony is not lost on me the amount of freeloading assholes who claim that developers are freeloading assholes.
Consumer defined as a person or thing that eats or uses something.
I am a consumer.
I am using this site, I am using the content the developer is releasing, I am using your response as a rebuttal.
If you feel this strongly about freeloading, implement some sort of content trade requirement for all users this could be applied to the following topics - boards; Asset Releases, Asset Requests, Programming, Development & Art, Translation.
I notice how you didn't even touched on the micro patching epidemic occurring here. I would have like to have heard a Moderator's thoughts and feelings on this topic.
