But it was his patrons who wanted him to fix bugs, he said it would take him couple of months, people still decided to commit to it. But it was his decision to completely revamp the game and start from scratch, he wanted to see if he can get away with blatant milking of people, that made his dream come true, and in the end he pretty much got away with it, the backlash amounted to nothing basically, he lost quite the number of supporters, but it wasn't detrimental to his livelihood. And here we're 5 years later, since he started making this project, that's STILL not finished, his attitude and work ethic only got worse in the last 2-2.5 years, soon he's gonna either abandon the game completely or starts releasing new medium-sized updates every 5-6 months at best. It would be ironic if the new update is going to have a small amount of content, considering it took him 3 months to make. As long as he keeps getting away with his bullshit and milking, nothing will change, it would only get worse in the future. I would be surprised if he doesn't decide to remake the game from scratch again and actually finishes it next year or so. Also 3 years ago he had the ability to hire someone, so he could've made his life a lot easier. I'm pretty sure he can still do it, he can even charge extra those, who want to play test the new builds for bugs etc. At least 10-20 of his supporters would even pay 40-50 bucks a month for that IMO. But scammer of net is not very smart, when it comes to the business side of things, he can draw very well, his coding skills became average with time, but other than that, he never thought of capitalizing on possibilities he had. But still have to give it to him, his grand speeches are always greatly received by his loyal fans, so I guess he learnt how to milk and manipulate them properlyChunkas says:
For those players in the MNL who do not remember or for some reason were not interested in the events related to the release of updates of the original game, a small return to the past. In early 2019, BoN decided to abandon the continuation of the original MNL game. Instead of bringing the original to some reasonable end with the necessary correction of a bunch of accumulated errors and a smooth transition to MNL 2, the dev makes an ambiguous decision and restarts the game in the spring of 2019. Currently, we expect the next update of the revamp MNL at the end of November. I remind you that at that time the MNL was at the peak of its development (it may have passed this peak) and had a large number of patrons. Practically, dev, perhaps without expecting it himself, shot myself in the foot with this illogical decision - launching a revamp. Many fans of this game were just expecting MNL 2, in which a gang confrontation was expected. Some fans explained this strange decision of BoN by the so-called "burnout", dev himself was tired of his game. Others said that the developer could not logically reduce the plot ends to something more logical and natural, since the original game was very much branched. Still others claimed that the game had accumulated a critical number of bugs. The fourth wrote that dev at the peak of the development of the game, decided to "milk" the patrons, that is, in simple words, embarked on the path of the so-called "milking". Etc. Attention: question! And what opinion do you PERSONALLY incline to, what is the reason for such destructive behavior of BoN? Maybe it was caused by the combination of all these factors? Perhaps you have your own ORIGINAL opinion on this? Do not hesitate to speak out. Any even the most fantastic assumptions are accepted. Thanks for attention.
