Slightly unrelated but you raised a good point. We often see people here stanning for their devs and getting mad at those who criticize a game or its production saying that they don't pay so they are in no position to complain, but forgetting that a lot of the times the irresponsible approach of the developer to updating/communicating with the players is the very reason why they don't subscribe/buy the game.
What credibility do you give you follower base when your updates happen once every blue moon, are often nothing burgers and you never communicate how progress is going?
Not saying Eva does this, it's just that your comment had me thinking about this since I see it happen every time somebody criticizes a game on this site.
