1. just 2 fail states aren't really worth the name of an update.
2.barely releasing something every month doesnt really excuse it,now does it? Its his own fault that he is afraid to hire someone to help,if anything those "developers" who makes games alone are a major risk,they can just abandon them just like that,unlike those who have teams.
3.Fair critisism is not whining,if anything you are whining about my comment,free speech huh? How do you know that his subs aren't discontent? They dont have a more or less free platform to talk about it like here,the "dev" surely won't allow any negative comment on his platforms like so many dont.
4.I never claimed he is on this site,i know he isnt,this isnt directed at him and your assumtion is laughable at how inacurate it is,again go to number 3,this is a more or less free space,his platforms like patreon,discord,etc are moderated by him and his lackeys and you can't find fair critisism there,if mine isnt then yours isnt either NPC.
5.games should be absolutely 100% free and there will always be people that pirate them,deal with it instead of crying NPC.
1. Just "2 Failstates" which are (at least Changelog-wise) at least 150 Images per Update, that he makes by himself.
2. Most people don't want to hire/cannot afford to get someone. Unless they "share your vision", most people are in it for the cash - and since you expect the game to be free later on, that means he makes a double net negative here: his time and money.
3. All for free speech, but this comment I currently reply to is whining. You want stuff for free, complain about the lack of content as well, and even take a piss on him being able to bring out regular updates (opposed to, say, ToT). How the dev deals with
valid critique is his beer - and the community/fans/us leeches here can react to him, endorse or berate his behaviour, proclaim this game a lost cause or whatnot - why not exercise your freedom of walking away from something that makes you unhappy?
4. So you know that your whining is not reaching the important channels, yet your resort to be pissed at random people that offer the content
they payed for to you and others for free - ever heard of the gift horse? And about him moderating/blocking any valid criticism (cause everybody's a critic, and articulates in the best way to make sure the project proceeds as best as possible) - it's his call, his channel, his fanbase and
his game. If he wants to abandon the game, he will do. If he decides to bring something in that YOU don't like - he doesn't care.
5. "Games should be free" is the reason why games get worse. People with that mindset are at fault when we only get BS "Games as a Service" that force you to pay 200 bucks to actually manage to somewhat play it, as well as always-online games. It's okay to be poor, and it's acceptable to pirate in most cases, but to endorse pirating makes me sick - you undermine everyone working hard at a game, and close the door for everyone attempting to make a good game in the future.
I don't do my job for free, and if some Karen walks in demanding that I do her bidding for free - I'd walk in a heartbeat.
How to deal with pirates? Easy: make your game worse by using GaaS or Always Online shit, or make it Freemium, P2W or whatnot. No need for anti-piracy when your game is unplayable without spending money in the game - and then watch people complain about games being shit nowadays - smh.
