Why? Because it's true. If you want your opinion to matter, put your money where your mouth is. Otherwise you're just throwing tantrums in forums and ruining the fun for the rest of us. Also btw, complainers and bitchers on F95 always consider their bitching and complaining to be "constructive criticism". Spoiler alert... It NEVER is. The last people devs care to hear from are F95ers who contribute nothing but insults and complaints without ever supporting any devs.
The tech demo was awesome btw, and the girls looked exactly like they did in the first one.
I wanted to answer in more detail, but none of your sentences is making sense, if you go one step deeper. You need to financially support something to critice it? What? How would that apply to any other part of life. "If you want to critice north korea you have to give them money first, else what you say doesn't matter?" Oo What?
"It NEVER is." Really there is no valid criticism at all on this board? Is that really what you are saying?
Most importantly: What does it matter what def think (in this regard)? This is not their private patreon or discord. this is an open forum, that is specifically for people to discuss what they think about the game. No dev is forced to read or participate. If they want, and choose to only throw tantrums and insults, while trying to get fan-boys/girls to their echo chamber, they are free to do so, but the rest of us isn't doing anything wrong, for using this site as it is intended.
"At the end of the day, no you're not entitled to anything no matter what you think. And there is no reason why any developer should waste their time placating whiners on a pirate site."
Totally agree 100%. Same is true for you and devs. If "the fun" that is "ruined" for you is being a fanboy that is only unreflective positive and everyone around should agree and cheer, then as llama said: Asslickers to the discord.
P.S.:
And you were forced to answer? And those answers are related to the game? Or is this the same "Off-Topic" (which it is not, btw, it's people reacting to the discourse around the game, which is part of a discussion) derailment that you are criticising.
