Fair enough. While I may disagree in some parts, I am "forced" to agree with what you have said, here.That may be the case. My point was simply that I can understand a developer not wanting to respond to people on a thread when the majority of posts are complaints, accusations, and other negativity.
My post was not only about Polarity's developer, but about all developers. The negativity and toxicity in many game threads overwhelms the amount of positive, helpful posts or posts with constructive criticism. Also, I never claimed that all developers care about their supporters, or even that Polarity's developer cares about their supporters. But I chose to defend this developer because I enjoy Polarity and want it to continue. My favorite game on this site was abandoned due to "personal issues", and I believe that we, as fans of these games, can help developers by not being jerks to them when they don't live up to our personal expectations.
Again you're throwing accusations at someone you don't know. It's easy for you to talk about the "ethics and integrity" of finishing the game before starting to work on other projects, but you don't know how this person works. Many developers get burned out working on the same project for too long, others get burned out because they work on too many projects. Do you enjoy the game and want it to continue, or not? You can argue about whether they should have started Radiant or not, but at this point, it would be financially irresponsible and a big "fuck you" to Radiant's supporters to put that on hold to focus on Polarity, so what's the point of getting upset about something that already happened?
Yes, I want Polarity to continue. I consider it an excellent game.
I have, for some months, been eagerly awaiting the update to it.
No, it WOULD be unfair to the supporters of Radiant to have IT go "on hold". For obvious reasons. But I DO submit that he could work on Radiant one month, then Polarity the next, alternating the games works etc every other month. THAT is, of course, my opinion and possible solution, but then again, it may not be feasible to do it that way.
I WILL do me best to be a bit more understanding to the developer, and make a better effort to show courtesy and respectful consideration.
