Wow someone who isn't a complete brainlet and doesn't purposefully misrepresents and justify their reasoning to gatekeep a thread to stifle discussion. Your presentation of the issue is perfect, but unfortunately you can't make people understand something that they can't grasp in the first place.
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.
I know it's an uphill battle, fandom is a powerful emotional thing. It can be tough to accept criticisms to things you've grown attached to. It's a lesson everyone has to learn at some point in their life so there will always be more people that need to learn it. Or at least they should but unfortunately I've noticed that it is dying with technology facilitating echo chambers. Hence why I felt the need to speak up. All I hope is that I changed some minds or at least helped them make the first step towards understanding the importance of letting people give their feedback, even if they don't agree.
I think you are way to idealistic and almost naive about it by assuming that people always have serious, positive motives when they write something. There are people around here who admit that they haven't played the game for more than a year and still complain regularly, there are people who have no clue and just assume things, there are even people who make up promises to then complain they aren't met. It's fine to tell them they are wrong and to explain why. After all, that's what boards are for. By your own argument I'd actually claim it's almost necessary to put it right, so people can see what's actually going on and so that discussions can actually take place.
Assuming people are acting in good faith until shown otherwise is the basics of having a working civilization, not simply idealism. Hence the meaning of the word civility or the expression of giving people the benefit of the doubt. If you are assuming the person is acting in bad faith, discussion is entirely fruitless and all you're left with is pointless tribalism. Given this is a discussion board, that really doesn't seem like a sensible default to take.
I would say it depends on how you look at it. Considering the amount of money they get each month this would be pretty much considered their fulltime job or at least each of them would be paid several times more then I get at my full time IT job.
He had one on the way when he started and recently got his third. The birth of his second child was certainly a reason why Diane's update back then was delayed and I wouldn't be surprised if getting his 3rd delayed the last 0.20.0 update by a week or two.
That honestly makes sense. At least it isn't a yanderedev situation. Also im pretty sure that darkcookie makes polls asking what should be in the next update. I think it's mostly the patreons making all the characters with big tits have more work put into them. My personal favorite is trap Eve.
Though to be fair, patrons usually can't influence how characters will look. There's a chance to get a small say on picarto at times while he's streaming, but usually it's indeed DC himself who sets the design and the size of the boobs, unless it's of course a character that was chosen via raffle, like Odette.
Very good choice.
Yeah, though in that case I actually kind of hope he'll skip the surprise update. I mean, by november we'll have had almost 13 months of secondary characters and I really think Ronda can't come soon enough.
