Just because you say so, doesn't make it so. If there are subscribers who expect an update - the only person that is scamming them is themselves. It is stated quite clearly what they should expect in the Patreon tier benefits. Nothing more.

And yes, the fact that you don't pay for it and millions who have played don't pay for it and that subscribers get exactly what they are promised does make him NOT a scammer. Scamming is defrauding a person of something through deceptive means. The terms of subscription are quite clear. The downloading and playing of the game for free directly from the developer's website - without need of being a subscriber - is also quite clear.

That people expect something for nothing - or expect something when it was never promised in exchanged for something - is delusional by the person who is doing the expecting. It's not a scam being perpetrated.

Should a developer make such promises in exchange for some kind of payment - I would absolutely agree with you. There are several I could point to as examples that have games listed on this site (developers who lock their content behind paywall with vague promises or even direct promises but then fail to deliver without any kind of rectification). This is not one of them.

So, what's your point? Jealousy is a terrible thing.

Idk man, I've been following this game for a while, and for a game that's primarily just animations and clicking, a 2 year hiatus without any meaningful progress is a sign that the game just won't be developed further.

I feel like the most time consuming part of games like these is the writing and art direction. And its difficult to defend when after 2 years, the only latest updates are minor bug fixes and typos. The game doesn't even have voice acting. You could make a decent update using powerpoint at this stage.

So if developing the game shouldnt take this long, the only plausible explanation are either personal issues (which shouldn't really be a problem given this is a team effort) or simple negligence. Don't become the Yandere simulator dev.

Dark Cookie is living the life man. I think I've found his perfect formular. Be free to add any I missed.
Step 1. Make better that average porn game that caters to incest and harem fans.
Step 2. Keep a consistent update pace and be conversational with your audience, make them think you care.
Step 3. amass a following that spreads the name of your game all over the internet and sings your praises to the heavens.
Step 4. Now that you have your army of sheeple, slow down the update speed and claim that it's for the benefit of the game.
Step 5. Further reduce update speed and focus on menial tasks like wallpapers and live streams, keep the sheeple busy.
Step 6. Milk those fuckers like it's going out of style
Step 7. Profit

You summed it up properly brother, the craziest part about all of this has got to be the fact that this game has been in development since I was in 6th grade and I graduated back in May... all that time of being worked on just for it to end up dead in the water. I so badly want to hold out for a future update but I'm about out of hopium

Request for the mods: please, apply to this thread the "Abandoned" tag, for the God's sake!

I wish the mods would mark this page abandoned as well. But it won't matter should this thread ever get marked as abandoned - as I have stated here #73,388 and in other posts. As for the rest of your post, it is clear you have no idea what you are talking about.

I'd like for this entire thread to be locked down until an update comes out, yet for some reason it ain't happening despite the mods having done so with other threads in the past that devolved into pure shit flinging like this one. If they don't even do that, how much do you think they'll care about adding an Abandoned tag to this place?

Admins, I'd like to re-submit my idea of being able to put an "Abandoned" tag on people that won't stop bitching over a development of a game that they get for free. Everyone wins. They get their "Abandoned tag" on their profile. And we don't have to hear them bitch with no end in sight.

Abandoned users? :unsure:

Well, they have been abandoned by the false hope of seeing the game going somewhere someday.
