Anywhere is fine to complain. It's on topic and it spreads the word to other consumers. As I mentioned before, it's more a matter of getting the word out. Just like a single person not donating doesn't help, a single person giving him this criticism won't either. The more people notice the problem, the more they will speak out everywhere. And the more they speak out, the higher the chances the problem gets acknowledged and resolved.@Tehemai:
I think what you are writing is a bit besides the point. If someone seriously wants to complain with the intention to improve the game, he should do it in a place where there's actually a chance that his complaint will be read and met, which would be DC's discord, his streams, etc. but certainly not this board, where it very likely won't be read by a member of the team and where he certainly will not get an answer from DC. Trying to change anything by writing here is futile.
To you second point, by now it's pretty much obvious that doesn't want to grow his team beyond what he has. The last real funding goal was set at $25.000 and beyond that nothing was promised. It's his choice and he seems willing to live with the consequence. Just because people give more money doesn't mean that he has to change his way of working.
So sure, people are free to complain about it, but others are just as free to point out that that complaint is out there for almost 3 years now and that the situation won't change. I'd actually say pointing that out is a service, so people don't give DC money because they hope it would increase the speed.
As for him not wanting to increase his team, that's for him to communicate. Not for fans to assume. The conversation needs to be started, not shut down. If he doesn't want to increase, he can explain it to the community. Then they may be satisfied or they may press for more details. They may even recommend alternative solutions. Or maybe he will even change his mind. No matter what way the cycle of communication and feedback plays out, it can lead to a more satisfied playerbase and hopefully a better game. In any case, overzealous fans suppressing dissent causing resentment among others is clearly not the way to go. That doesn't remotely make sense no matter which side of the fence you're on.
