Perhaps this will help make it more clear: there is typically a point after which complaints about the Dev and their purported lifestyle, their patrons and assumed levels of intelligence, etc. have nothing to do with the game, anymore - i.e., when it resembles an echo chamber of roundtable ranting about perceived injustices against the gaming universe. Even if you believe your ire supported by logic and facts, when such a point is reached then the thread may no longer be able to reasonably sustain fair participation under the General Rules.you can't separate "the game" from "the developer" - - that would be like making a thread about "The Chicago Bulls" and getting mad about someone constantly talking about "Michael Jordan" - no, just no
there is nothing wrong with making a "thread about a game" but then also talking about "the person who made the game" as well, no, i just can't
there is no way to justify what you said
With all due respect, that reasoning is "meh".Any place that is not a game thread.
this is a response i can respect, and almost entirely agree withPerhaps this will help make it more clear: there is typically a point after which complaints about the Dev and their purported lifestyle, their patrons and assumed levels of intelligence, etc. have nothing to do with the game, anymore - i.e., when it resembles an echo chamber of roundtable ranting about perceived injustices against the gaming universe.

As redknight00 aluded to: these topics are about a game's qualities/meanings/genre/fandom and its production (which includes the Dev team to a certain extent), rather than creative pilloring of the Developer's private life, pontificating about the motivations of their patrons, etc. An example of off-topic in this thread would be concentrating on the latter aspects almost uniquely and dialing that up to 11.
And this applies equally to every thread outside of Off-topic at the site, of course.
It's contradicting with what the mods ACTUALLY do.In no way am i excusing the hateful comments, but to tell me i can't address the developer in the thread of the game they made is ridiculous. It defeats the whole purpose of having a place for discussion.
Exactly what I was thinking, it seems to only be "off-topic" when what is shared is negative. Personal attacks are too far, i can't dispute that. But bringing up ICSTORS name in a negative light should not be off-topic unless praising him is deemed so as well. I'm kind of astonished a moderator would tell anyone they basically can't speak the devs name in their games thread.It's contradicting with what the mods ACTUALLY do.
Comments praising the developer aren't deleted and by the mods behavior, one could say they are even encouraged at some level.
But God forbid someone says something negative! Call the shill brigade to delete all comments.
You can't have it both ways.
IMO devs and games are interconnected. You can't have discussion about the one without the other, negative or positive.
Granted though, I understand that not everyone can keep the discussion civil on the internet so that's the only thing that makes me understand the mods position. For scummy developers though like Gumdrop Games and sadly now ICSTOR, they can't be policing the forums cause what they are doing is so bad, it's gonna go to hell anw.
That is actually the saddest part. You look at the game and it has such a huge potential, but the dev just gives up on it.For those who have not understood: ICSTOR is milking its fat cows to get as much as it can do, of course it is unscrupulous and greedy. But let me tell you, as a developer he is tremendously good.
lol made a comment similar to that and it got deletedIts like fans for Star Citizen or those cucks for the Subverse game. decent devs/content creators but sheep following. Why work harder when people will throw money your way?![]()
if he got burnt out...maybe he shouldn't do the same kind of setting time after time?Dev fatigue, see TITS. It makes 30k a month on patreon but the main dev just has been doing this work for too long that it's a chore and a headache to his current life.
Dev fatigue seems like a very poor excuse, the game has been in development for over 2 years, and he released like 8 updates with new content in that time. And he hasn't even released an update in a year now.Dev fatigue, see TITS. It makes 30k a month on patreon but the main dev just has been doing this work for too long that it's a chore and a headache to his current life.
Yeah but even those games never really had a proper ending he just gets bored and rushes the endings. His problem is that he can't commit to anything until the endThink less this game but all his projects/formula, he's done a few other incest stories over the years.
Really is a pattern at this point.Yeah but even those games never really had a proper ending he just gets bored and rushes the endings. His problem is that he can't commit to anything until the end
Good point, as much hate as ICSTOR gets his case isn't really that special when it comes to rushed endings.i
Honestly I feel like that's the majority of adult games I've played. Can't remember the last time an ending wasn't just a rushed last screen threesome or one still image of your pregnant love interest.
You wish. I almost got murdered by saying one of their waifus had a terrible personality. I honestly just avoid that thread, it's either spoilers from idiots or the Waifu Defense Force fighting each other to determine which set of pixels is the best waifu.
