Wtf is it with the sudden review bombing?

Dev has been milking his patrons for years now, released an update with about 98% of the content removed in exchange for about 1 new scene and a couple old scenes slightly cleaned up.

2 years of dev time and this is what was produced, it's pretty pathetic.

I mean, summertime saga is and always will be one of the best games on this site, and the full version is still available for free even on the dev's own site... and since this is really just the beginning of the updated version people are completely overreacting but... it's hard not to observe that the patrons are really being taken advantage of. The ones still paying for it have to be completely deluded or just forgot they are still paying for it monthly. It's really an embarrassment for what is basically the biggest income for any porn game.

funny thing, this 'release' has 1.2 GB, almost EXACTLY as the previous one. With only 10% content. Oh man, their code must be a mess.

no, well it might be, but another user here looked into it, all the old art is still there but not usable so that is the reason why it has it's size.

You don't optimize for size early on, that comes later when everything is done, size is basically only relevant for mobile these days. If anything STS is lightweight because it reuses a ton of stuff.
I'm sure there'll be a compressed version with lower quality assets down the line.

No they don't, the reviews that follows the rules get to stay, there are plenty that are still there.
This has been discussed at length now.

While the 5 star reviews are weirdly positive they appear to live up to what a review here demands.
If people writing 1-2 star reviews took a little more time describing why the game is bad instead of just sayin dev bad, they would stay.

Idk about others, but my review said the game has been in development for 8 years, and now had barely any content, so I was recommending not to play it. Mod tanked it, without citing any rule I had broken.

I do think that talking about the dev's poor behavior should have it's place in a review tho, but that's just me.

Is so weird because in the Luna in tavern thread they allow people talking shit about the devs scummy behaviour.
Why is not allowed here?

I mean, if DC was doing something provably malicious, they might allow it, but as it stands its all just hearsay and conjecture.

My guess would be different mods reading the rules differently.
That is a problem though.

It should, in part.
I believe that it is possible to both mention that and then also review the game and the state it is in.
there are plenty to go after in both the 20.16 version and the new one.
So my take as I have mentioned to others is, review the game for what it is and mention the dev and how he negatively impacts it.

maybe because I was already expecting it, but I kinda liked this tech update build, looks way better and art is way more consistent. And well, if a start over is what we get, the least DC can do is make these updates to be more frequent, it's the bare minimum.
