Imagine breaking your game and causing tons of bugs and delays putting in content no one wanted.. who cares about the neighbors?
That's the type of mindset people essentially rely on to get rich on patreon. Everyone is thinking in singular terms. Problem is when you have 7,000 people going "oh it's the cost of a cheeseburger every month" all that adds up to essentially making the dev a millionaire. Guaranteeing slower updates/milking/etc. Individually supporters don't see it as a problem.My $5 contribution every thirty days isn't a large enough sum to make me feel milked. It's like buying a lottery ticket. I'm just throwing it out there hoping that it's the month I hit the jackpot.
The game isn't free though. He is not a generous samaritan blessing poor wankers with his creation. Working on the game is his full time job. He set the dates that he missed. The improvements he has yet to deliver on (faster updates, fully animated scenes) were layed out by himself.Well he did see it for a while but he said in his post that he got so tired of all the negative comments that he doesn't bother reading any anymore and I don't blame him for that. All the work he puts into a free game and all he gets is a constant stream of bitching and moaning. I'd shut that out too.
As someone who is a writer, you're full of shit. The bible has roughly 800,000 words in it. You expect us to believe that a porn game has 8% of the content of the bible in it just for three characters? I'm sorry, but no. Most people have written essays, short stories and so on in their lives. We all have a general grasp on word count thanks to a crazy little thing called school. He's inflating the numbers and hoping no one will notice, and if he's not then he's wasting time puffing up the game with meaningless dialogue. It's a story about a family with women who all inexplicably want to fuck their extremely generic white guy son/brother. It would take a hell of a stretch for those figures to be accurate and not a massive waste of time.Yeah people who aren't writers tend to... vastly overestimate just how much 5k/10k/50k words is.
At least jackpot is consistent, every monthMy $5 contribution every thirty days isn't a large enough sum to make me feel milked. It's like buying a lottery ticket. I'm just throwing it out there hoping that it's the month I hit the jackpot.
If you don't mind me asking Pepegaa . What do the "Patreons" say about his latest news? to be more specific... what are the comments that have been left in the official page?

I don't mind anyone supporting him but I also recognize that the reason the stream of bitching and moaning has become constant is because it is warranted.
October 9 is too early lolGuys I’m from the future, the update will drop on October 9 and all will be forgiven after y’all fap to glorious Caroline scenes. Also while I’m talking about the future let me tell you what happens next year: Trump re-elected, Iran War and small cryptocurrency are the way to gain some fast cash, bye and see ya in 2033.
And?If you're getting the game here it's free.

did you not read the whole thing???October 9 is too early lol
Was supposed to be in august, NOPE, then september, Big NOPE, now 10th October, lets see what other "obstacles" comes for the november delay. Seriously, when are his patrons gonna fucking open their eyes? Do they have a fetish for being milked or what? XD
Mayhaps a Summer's Eve?
Uh yeah....it was my comment as I'm mt2007 And what I said was true. The people on this site who play the game are getting it for free. So I fail to see what all the complaining is about.And?
Whether the game is free here doesn't mean anything, ICSTOR doesn't release the game for free you have to be a $10 patron to get the game unless you pirate it. boxedjack was replying to a comment where mt2007 said ICSTOR works hard to release a free game which is why boxedjack said the game isn't free.
hehe so you are I didn't even see you username ugh I really should get some sleep.Uh yeah....it was my comment as I'm mt2007 And what I said was true. The people on this site who play the game are getting it for free. So I fail to see what all the complaining is about.
I think the real problem is having a thousand people getting something for free and blaming patrons and Icstor for them not getting it. People often forget they're entitled to nothing. I can't think of anything that's more draining as a developer than a bunch of people whining at you.That's the type of mindset people essentially rely on to get rich on patreon.

I goddamned promise you that if the writers of the bible had access to a word processor and a printer, that fucking book would be a lot goddamned bigger than 800,000 words! If I was hand writing this shit, I have no doubt I'd be cutting corners all over the place. As it is, I can type out a shit ton of content in a short period of time.As someone who is a writer, you're full of shit. The bible has roughly 800,000 words in it.

While I generally agree, I put writing and coding on the same level. Excellent coding requires a knack for efficiency and simplicity. Good writing requires an active imagination and a command of language that doesn't make you sound retarded.Exactly right. Bet anything that guy has never been to college before. Probably just a flunk out who sits at home writing "novels" that will never be published and believes it is some holy grail. I'm not trying to take away from writing, as I think it probably requires some effort, but no where near what everyone blows it up to. I wouldn't pay a writer as much as I'd pay a coder which is infinitely more difficult. Those who believe writing is so difficult clearly is either just horrible at writing and has no creativity at all, which seems to be like 95% of the community... or has impaired English.
I wrote an obituary earlier this week in a half-bio/half-story style, took me less than an hour. It was 915 words and I've received rather positive feedback since (fortunately).As someone who is a writer, you're full of shit. The bible has roughly 800,000 words in it.

I've tried saying the same thing ... just get a bunch of facepalms without any actual rebuttal to what I've said. 100+ pages of people jerking each other off with dev hate for something they get for free is just sad.I think the real problem is having a thousand people getting something for free and blaming patrons and Icstor for them getting it.

Add to that a large number of people who care way to much about how other people choose to spend their money and you have all the pieces you need for a big fuck-off sandwich.
I think the reason I don't see it as a problem is because I don't care about it as much as others here do. It'll come out when it comes out, if it comes out. Whatever. I have so much other shit to do with my time I don't have to stand here in the terminal waiting for a plane that might not come. But you know what, it's my money, I worked for it, and I'll spend it how ever the hell I want. If I want to wad up $20 bills, wipe my ass and flush them down the toilet, it's my business and no one else's. Cheers mate!
