You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. At least now we know for certain what we're dealing with given the free content just isn't enough to make a judgment call about if the game's worth essentially buying a subscription for.
I support one of my favorite games on patreon precisely BECAUSE there is no paywall. I've paid more in my monthly subscription for a free game I like over the last year than I do for most brand-name titles. I don't even get any real patreon rewards for it.
Not on my end, but I only have access to the free stuff, and I only download and check once a couple free scenes are released. The server might be down.

To re-frame someone's words, or make up your own, and then attribute said invention as a direct quote by someone else, is called "libel", in a print medium. It is also just plain condescending of you to assume anyone requires you to "translate" what I said for them. People are perfectly capable of reaching their own conclusions, without you determining it for them. Shall we keep playing?
Despite the fact that you are mostly true, I think you give to much credit to human being and forget that at least 80% of us can't determine good choices on their own, aren't smart and reasonable as you probably are and don't think that much really. So in a way giving your feedback is usefull for creator and consumer, if it isn't, well everybody now know all this mascarade is a scam.
I wouldn't disagree with any of that. Perhaps my position was misinterpreted a bit. I would not assert that no good can come from changing things which could or should be improved, but it is a matter of "picking one's battles". We do not walk in a sushi restaurant and proudly state "I hate fish" or "your prices are too high". We simply walk passed it, and find a more suitable location to dine on the food we prefer. We vote in many ways, every day, with our wallets. Not supporting a project, in any market but especially one like this which is entirely built on patron support, is in itself a statement. Is any good really created by those who write two hour reviews of the reasons they gave a game 1-star? Most likely not, I think.
I agree 100%. I have been reading the comments about this game on and off for a while now, and there are an amazing number of times that the same people who had previously stated that they hated the game or the paywall have restated it with each new release.
The only person I was quoting the words for was you. I rephrased what you said in a hyperbolic manner in an attempt for you to see how ridiculous your statement was. Clearly that went over your head. The idea that you should not voice complaints with the business model of a commercial product is laughable to me.
Thank you for the refresher-course in communicating with low-EQ diversionary tactics. Clearly your opinions are far too righteous to be penetrated by my feeble mind. Please consider yourself victorious.
I've never seen 'you're just using diversionary tactics' used as a response to avoid talking about a clearly stated opinion on a point before. Also my line about "clearly going over your head" was sarcastic mocking of the comical attitude you had in to my post. Funny you accuse me of having low emotional intelligence yet you failed to realize that.
But you make it sound so tempting.... I'm going to have to do some reading on reverse psychology.
