It's not accusations of delay, it's just stating of facts.
Unless you want to argue that it's reasonable to interpret "about a month" as 4,5 months?
Fair enough!
Though you are correct, I see that I should have phrased that a bit better. I put milking and delay together to enphasize the unfairness and tone of the criticism. I haven't read anything like that in his patrons posts, though I can't say anything about their eventual PMs, obviously. You just isolated thet part of the comment...
nope, it was supposed to drop yesterday, why in the world would he otherwise edit his post yesterday to say he needed a few more hours to release??
Because he thought he'd do it and shit happens?
I should know because I write for a living (not in English as you may guess, at least original texts) and I've failed countless deadlines because I was just so sure I had more than enough time... Even when things didn't go wrong I'd use any time I had to perfect things.
I've been scolded and praised, been fired and received awards for doing things the same way and the only times I lost my temper was when someone was barking at my door because I was late. Can't think of any way that can help.
I'm not blindly defending the dev. I know trust takes along time to gain and very little to lose. I'm just sharing my views and experience and saying it shouldn't go down that easily.
