Voting is not always the solution. I appreciated the general mood of users. Very often people vote just like that, without thinking about what they really want. Besides, I always have the last word. Sometimes a person (that is, me) needs moral support that some kind of innovation will be received with enthusiasm. My colleagues from other projects assured that EVERYONE would take it badly. But they were wrong. Badly perceived exclusively by SOME f95 users.
Voting is sometimes false. Before I started making the game, I asked my subscribers if they would be happy with my game and would they support me in the future? I was supported by 95% of the people, they voted "FOR".
When I released the Build 0.1, 60% of my subscribers unsubscribed from me. How do you like this outcome of the vote?)
Listen to people, think with your head, make decisions with your heart.

Hello again, Texic,
Normally, I'm more of a background player and don't usually engage with the community that much. This is only the second time I'm posting a comment about this trend, and just my fourth message on this site altogether since I joined back in 2019. To be straight with you, I'm feeling disappointed.
I understand that this is your game and you owe us nothing. It's within your rights to take it wherever you see fit. It's actually very generous of you to provide us with free content, something to spend our free time on, and to create a place for community engagement on a pirate site. This is very noble. But the way you've handled feedback from the community, especially from those who don't agree with your current direction, has left me feeling quite down.
As I said in my first comment, I'm a fan of your game. However, the latest update has elements I'm not too fond of. It's not that this is inherently wrong. We all have our own tastes, and no particular interest should be erased or made to feel shameful; we all should have the right to enjoy what we like. But this is just how I feel, and I had trusted your promises.
You had given us your word that this kind of content wouldn't be included. Beyond that, you conducted a poll that seemed to confirm it wouldn't be, and showed that most of your patrons also weren't fans of it.
I feel a bit like a broken record. Sorry for basically just saying the same things again. Regardless, I waited since my first post. I held out for a clearer statement, an apology (which feels a bit silly now, maybe even naive), or simply an acknowledgement that your treatment of the community wasn't right. But you've been doubling down, never admitting to any mistakes, and acting as though our opinions don't matter just because they don't align with yours. That feels wrong to me.
I want to express my gratitude for your hard work. I've genuinely enjoyed the times I've played your game. This will be my final post in this game thread. I truly wish you all the best. It's clear your patron numbers are growing, and that's fantastic. You've earned it; the effort you've put into the game is obvious. While I won't be playing your game anymore, I'm only one player. I'm confident you'll continue to attract new ones.
I apologize for the long comment. I just needed to get this off my chest one last time.
Nobody is forcing you to look at it. This is not a plot development.
