Ehhh... Honestly I calm myself a little bit down so it's definitely not going to be as rage inducing and not as motivated as before I posted that.
At least though it's gonna be a bit more insightful than a full on rant, I hope anyway because I do wanna respond in a way that he get's something out of this considering I believe he is aware of this site on the off chance that he actually bothers to check this site and see my comment he at least understands why there are comments like that in the first place.
Alternatively he could see the same the original reason why this discussion is happening in that this might be DM by the same person who did this though the chances of them cutting of what I'm going to say and just focus on the "bad stuff" is probably likely considering the entire point of probably why they sent said Comment to them in the first place.
Either way here's my response to his comments under the assumptions that he's gonna read it. Though I am going to put some of the response on to "Spoilers" because this might be long and I don't really want to clog the thread with this.
Before my comment, I would like to make it absolutely clear with no ambiguity and say that yes of course you have every right to disagree with their statement especially with the context of who said it and the block is a justifiable response to an extent of a reaction.
But "Pirate" or not, It doesn't disregard their opinion at all and heck the whole issue of disregarding it especially how you worded it or how it came out really does reek a level of insecurity especially in the later comments below and overall the state of the game.
Hypocrites can still provide good points and opinion and in some regards said point and opinions can be much more meaningful because it's those person saying it and they would probably know more on what their saying than other people.
But if you're not willing to listen to Pirate then maybe one of your paying fans can because let's not forget that you actually have paying fans that have similar sentiments as shown below.

And I would like to add that despite their comment they were actually being very modest and they had actually been a "Gold Tier" sponsor for their Cien site shy of 3 years.

But you actually did respond to this and let's see how you went with that respond to this an actual paying customer
Anyway that's about it really that I can really say, I don't actually know if Techno is gonna read this or if he somehow does he doesn't just go say "Pirate aren't eligible for Opinion" or even just going "I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened."
And if he actually does read this with consideration that I hope it does help with the development of the game or at least gives him more perspective of the game and overall I really just hope this is seen as an more of an informative thing that actually helps techno and gives an understanding to the situation that some people have with this game rather than being considered a hateful attack which was never the point of this in the first place.
