give me 5k$$/months, a team of 5 peoples with experience and a bunch of freaking computer that can run Unity or UNreal SDK. and i create the best game you have ever seen in your whole life. i can even beat the witcher 3 in the nuts.so developers should live off of people's tips? You're obviously not a serious developer, or you would have known how much time and money are going in to games like these.. I don't know what it is that you develop, but I'm positive it's nowhere near the scale and scope of this project. People shouldn't make things for free. If they do, way to go - but art or entertainment are not just for people to absorb for free forever. The people who make your entertainment deserve a pay, and to not live off of tips.
i m not joking.
see the difference now ?
want to make a game for a living ? jump on steam, try, ya not gonna live forever on patreon, gonna grow some balls and jump on a serious store/website one day. but how long this gonna take ?
why care when you have a bunch of money per months by releasing small update or using paywall .... good thing most of AAA doesnt use this kind of system. they wouldnt go far otherwise
who is the obviously not serious dev ?
we'll see that in the futur...
thoses guys didnt started from nothing....thoses guys are a team, they have computer powerful enougth to run unreal/unity SDK, to buy overpriced 3D assets (wich are not even comparable of DAZ assets) and more ...
its easy to glory them and shit on small dev.
but like i say, we'll see in futur...
claiming to make a AAA and hidding most of the stuff behind paywall is not the way to make respectfull business. that's my opinion.
now i m out , rendez vous in december 2019 for a conclusion.
