1.) never said that i am "PR" person for anyone.
2.) as "officials" we are ordered best to ingore all comments over here on F95 at all by MrDots. He doesn't even want us to give him feedback from F95.
3.) As private persons (of course still with insight), we are of course over here on F95 like all the others.
4.) All intel we provided, we did on our own will so far, as long as we don't give away too much about future releases.
5.) In the end MrDots seems to be right, that it might be for the better, to just ignore the threads of our games at all.
6.) No matter what we will do or not do - the same people will complain anyways about everything - like they do since years. We just get used to it.
Seems you guys just lost the last way to maybe have a slight impact on the game at all quite right now - congrats
You now can go full rant about everything you want. We will not feature nor provide any intel anymore.
So far you got me done. I am tired to fight against windmills and stop to believe that over here may be people who are able to reason with.
Once more, we are shown, how wasted every minute will be, which we spent in even considering to reply or answer over here.
So far, i stop my support for intel, removed the patches for patreon, and also i probably will not take part in any conversations over here anymore.
Yes, believe it or not, i even consider to put this thead on ignore to give you the place to rant as much as you want like nobody cares - so have fun.
Look, I don't have an issue with you or Mr.Dots. I'd consider myself to be very neutral. But I think you're lacking some awareness here. And Mr.Dots & the other devs seem to have the problem too.
1- Yes, you have never said you're a PR person. But that is what you function as. Along with being the admin (or one of the admins) of the discord server. Either way, you cannot have a balanced take on these issues.
2 & 3- Sure.
4- Again sure, you give intel here because you know it's an important place to potentially get fans. Also being a PR person
5- Sure, many devs ignore this place. Some even actively hate it.
6- Sure, some people will complain no matter what. But this is one of the things you lack awareness. This latest situation is because the writers added something to the game out of seemingly nowhere. (NTR. NTR adjacent. Triggering content. Whatever you want to call it).
This exact same thing happened in DMD. This is why people are complaining. Why in the world did the devs think opening up that can of worms...again...was a good idea? You could see this a mile away.
But this is not about people trying to have "influence". That is a complete misreading of the situation. This isn't like when people in the DMD thread, on both sides of the situation, argued for their preferred content. Those people may have been trying to influence. Either by getting X content banned or more of X content.
It's people being upset that, once again, the devs shot themselves in the foot. You can't be mad at people for having a negative reaction when that negative reaction is extremely predicable. The devs screwed up. This isn't about people on here being butthurt. Or you. Or anyone else. The devs screwed up. And guess what? They tried to fix it, because they know they screwed up. It's really that simple.
And if you aren't actually part of the team, be it a PR person or whatever, maybe stop saying "we". Or people will assume you speak on behalf of Mr.Dots. Like a PR person
