This is all of course true. You can ask 2 times and 10.... But the main question remains.
If you have been in this topic for about 3 years, you read that the author and most people who pay do not attend this topic and do not read such messages. How does the thought of 1 dollar per month affect anyone? With the same success, you can write an “opinion” on the fence and hope that someday Oni will pass by and read and run to work for nothing.
On the other hand, your posts still have a positive side. If each year is repeated one and the same, then this indicates that the opinion has not changed for the year.
In general, I do not mind your posts and anyone else's. But in some situations, I do not understand the logic. Opinion should be addressed to those who really influence the process.
You express your opinion in a place where the addressee will never see it...
Ok, i can explain my point of view. Ofcourse, it is just my personal opinion, but when i buy a AAA game for 60$,it means i am paying for years of development on story, animations, modeling, scripting, ost etc etc. Hundreds of ppl involved for lots of time.
Then we have RogueLike. I am not saying its a bad game (obviously, since we are all still here), but one has to agree, it is as simple as abc. The positive side of this game is art, not the script or story. In the end it is a pretty basic flash game like one of those dating sims, just with a good artist behind the wheel.
Regarding payments. If i support something, i dont think it is right to do so ONLY when i benefit from it (like subbing only during months of updates). Obviously i want to show the product creator that his product is valued. Therefore, if there is (and im sure that there muat be) a patreon, who subbed to him since the beginning, then even by paying 1$ he already spent 60 in total. Price of AAA title. Considering the time it takes Oni to update, and lack of communication from him, it seems wrong in my eyes, thats all.
Considering this is a forum, and i see people expressing similar opinions, i dont see anything wrong with adding mine alongside to the conversation.
And most importantly, if we stop messaging here the thread will slowly become too boring, cant let that happen xD
