Why can't he hire at least one full-timer? This is a genuine question, he has enough funds to do so after all. Maybe he would rather keep the money he would have to spend on a full-timer for himself and his family, understandable. Not only that but it gives the game's development extra longevity which means more money. Who knows if his next project after Summertime Saga will be successful or if even Summertime Saga will keep it's revenue over the years? Or maybe he just doesn't give a fuck.
Regardless for his reasons, I get why people are irritated with how things are going, crying whiners or not, especially with this tech-update shitshow going on. Regardless of Patreon TOS, DC not being obliged to fulfill people's entitlement, yadda yadda, it comes down to Patrons giving him money to support development of the game and DC refusing to use that money to it's potential.
I'm not saying he should invest every dime or that he should do everything he can to speed up his game that originally started with him dicking around but this isn't a small operation anymore, this is his job and a well paying one at that. He himself set up Kompas productions which means he's serious about this. No skin off my back, the guy could make a million and not update for 2 years it won't be the end of the world, but I can't help but see at least a little sense in people complaining about the way DC works. Unless someone can enlighten me of something I'm not aware about.
Yup pretty much. It's just disappointing to see all these funds go unused, most complaints are because of that. People wouldn't complain as much about it if they made 20k but they're making 90 and so there are expectations to perform accordingly It's like if you were rich and had an einstein level genius kid but he/she decided to work forever at McDonald's. Their choice but you can't genuinely not be disappointed by the wasted potential, especially given all the resources at their disposal and how lucky of a situation it is.
