Most of us do not make a living out of this, let alone doing it for greed. There'd be other stuff we'd be doing if it were just for greed xD
I mean I think there is also an element of not understanding what there is a lot of demand for / building what they personally like and want to work on rather than what will be popular.
That's fair. I don't think I worded that particularly well. My main point about biting off more than they can chew stands however. I genuinely think setting realistic goals is the number one issue for most of these new porn devs. It's like they want to create their magnum opus on their first game. That's not how art works, and yes game development is an art, you don't start with Mona Lisa you start with Lisa Simpson.
Yes, overpromising happens a lot here. I think, though, it's not done nefariously. The devs are overpromising to themselves as well that they'll do all these cool things they really want to implement. The genuine will is there, but then the realities of development kicks in. Everything takes a long time and a lot of energy/money/both.
If every rating you give is 1 star you do not want to give constructive criticism. (Unless you have like given two ratings) Even if your standards are so high you hate everything you play on here, you would still give occasional two or even three stars to differentiate quality.
Okay it seems like you are saying that there are people who put their hand on a hot stove every week, being surprised it hurts and loudly complaining that fire == hot. If you don't like an activity you stop doing it.
if someone is a serious reviewer and think every game is a 1 star, they would stop playing the games. it makes no sense to keep playing games of a type you obviously don't like. it's like keep going to vegan restaurants, giving them all 1 star because you hate vegan food.
Let's take the "serious reviewer" out of the equation for a minute. I think at some point in our lives we've all known someone who inexplicably makes themselves miserable on a regular basis. The kind of person that rages at minor inconveniences they could have mitigated if they had just given it some thought beforehand. But they keep doing the same shit week after week.
No one has to be a master critic. Writing a 2,000-word review of a game that you spent only 1 hour on and giving it 2 or 3 stars doesn't make anyone a master reviewer. Similarly, giving a game 5 stars just because you love it and have fun doesn't mean you have an immature mind. we are all here to play games and have some fun. you can't insult people's minds over a petty voting system.
