His reputation isn't really at risk though. He just gets paid by devs to write and they will continue to hire him regardless of what incstor does. He can blame any delay, missed deadline, unreleased update, or lie on Incstor and say he just writes what is given to him, so it's not like future devs won't hire him because of that. So effectively his reputation is safe no matter what happens, it doesn't really matter (unless he cares about how well liked he is on a porn game pirating forum which I hope no one cares about).You're putting in a ton of work and communicating openly. I believe you about what your goals are and that you're doing what you can to reach those.
However, the point is that you've dangerously hitched your reputation to an end result that isn't tied to the work you've done. We know that a lot of people have put in work on Milfy City. There's no reason to think any of those people were responsible for the egregious failure to maintain any semblance of progress. That means that many others, just like you, put in a lot of work on updates to this game, only to have ICSTOR fail to do his part to cross the finish line. Over and over and over again.
For FIVE YEARS, whenever it's come time for ICSTOR to do his part, he fucks off. He makes a couple of excuses, then disappears until his patron count drops. At that point, he reappears to announce things are different now, and he's definitely still working on Milfy City which will get an update on such and such date. That date rolls around, and boom, ICSTOR fucks off again. Repeat.
If there's an update at all, let alone an update before May, that's cool! But you're not staking your reputation on your ability to deliver, you're staking in on ICSTOR not being ICSTOR.
So if you're trying to convince him to stop posting in the thread and giving updates by telling him to worry about his reputation, well whatever happens won't really affect him getting future work at the end of the day so he'll continue doing it. Now idk if he has other financial incentives other than just getting some per diem pay to write, but he probably does cause it sounds like he has a bigger role with this game nowadays. So it make sense why he's trying to build up more good will towards the project and see it succeed. So he will continue posting in this thread and try to salvage this games reputation because he probably has other financial incentives that he is hiding or not being honest about. Not that he has to be transparent with his earnings, but it's why we should take everything he says with a grain of salt and not think that if a release comes out as promised that Incstor is turning over a new leaf and that we won't soon be back to the way things have been for years.
