Boy, you must be outside your ENTIRE mind. Yes, you pay once for a AAA title, 60 BUCKS. To equal that as a patron at $5/month you'd have to be one for a full YEAR. Saying that if someone is a patron then they have paid several times more than the cost of a AAA title is blatantly incorrect, unless they've been a patron at 5 or more per month for 3 years or more. So that argument is a wipe, it just doesn't mesh at all.I have not seen much of nonsense for a long time.
For the AAA title, you pay once or, additionally, for extensions, you pay extra.
And you have in most cases a very extensive product. Whether it's good or not, it's just a matter of taste.
If someone is a patron of DC and pays even $ 5 a month, he has already paid several times more than the cost of the AAA title. And the SS only has about half of the planned content.
Simply put, the cost / effect ratio for the SS Patron is extremely weak.
Well ... in the end it is sponsoring and not buying a specific product, and in total there is no reason to expect a reasonable level of costs
SS / DC critics and supporters are not much different. Their only direction is different.
Followers are also uncritical, they look at the SS through so-called pink glasses and think that the game is great and DC is great.
Unfortunately, the realities are such and not different.
The Roxxy upgrade was great.
The Diane update is the so-called bottom and meter of silt.
Only blinded and uncritical fan, can be considered something good after which we have such errors as the scene from the living room where we see Diane on the couch and when we click on the tv Diane disappears and turns on the scene with Debbie or Jenny.
And we've been waiting for this update for almost half a year.
And I hope that no idiot will write to me that I can not criticize if I am not a Patron. I was a $ 5 Patron for seven months and I think I "acquired" the right to criticize.![]()
Next, you already proved my point, you are sponsoring and not buying a specific product. So expecting a project to fit your personal timetable of what a game update schedule should be is ridiculous.
Third, whether a specific update is great or terrible is really a personal opinion, especially whit this particular game. Ever update for the last year and a half have hit a fairly high quality standard. The Roxxy update definitely changed alot more of the storyline around than most others did, but was of like quality level with most if not all updates they do on this game.
As far as bugs and errors, you really have no room to complain, as they tell you every time you open the game that this is an alpha, not a finished product, and it WILL have bugs and issues that need ironing out. Complaining about something you already know is a possibility (beyond simply informing the dev team as they have resources in place for you to do so) is really just asinine.
I will give you that the timeframe between .17 and .18 was a bit larger than normal, so you have SOME room to complain about that, but the overwhelming weight of people shitting on DC is really not deserved.
EDIT: I almost forgot, you mentioned the right to criticize, well anyone who plays the game, patron or not, can criticize. But what ya'll are doing is not criticism. It's complaining and whining. Especially in your case when you earlier make the point that you are sponsoring an artist, NOT paying for a specific product. So, CONGRATULATIONS! You played yourself.
