Doing things right takes a lot of time. And when you spend that much time, you need the economic support to be a reasonable endeavour.
As an illustrator i can tell you that on this site the art of this game is AT LEAST top 3 if not the absolute best at the moment. So yeah. Not everything is MILKING MILKING MILKING. Calling everyone a fraud isnt productive, especially the few really, REALLY good artists on this site.
But i guess that most people here just prefers an endless stream of steadly updated garbage.
Congratulations on being one of the many, many, many illustrators on this site. I'm a digital designer, myself, as a profession. I understand the point you're trying to make. This would be a reasonable comment if there wasn't direct precedent to the contrary in past updates. Things have gotten progressively worse, not better. In short, you can miss me with the "do things right" nonsense.
Hard coping and simping for the dev aside, these newer updates are undoubtedly being conducted at a sub zero pace, and this is with all the "economic support" one could ever dream of in a project like this. People are understandably jaded, and anyone with any decent sense of pattern recognition is understandably concerned because they've seen this sort of thing happen so many times before. This is the part the damage control brigade will never understand: We want to be wrong. Criticisms like the ones you're seeing come from a love for the game, not a hate for it.
Your last sentence is highly amusing, as well. Ironically, the size of this update, despite the amount time we waited, was the exact type of update you'd expect to see when you reference "steadily updated garbage."
