First I was a porn-focused meanie and now I'm someone else's alt? And where did I even ask the dev for anything? I just went on the discussion thread of a game I was playing to see if anyone else experienced the same issues with the game's writing. Then a day or two later after finishing my playthrough, I wrote a final review and moved onto another game.First - Congrats on making your first post here on the SA thread... using an almost 7 year old user id no less...
Cracking the seal on one of those alt id's must have come after quite the internal discussion...
Where to use your very first comment with this alt id created so long ago???
'It's stuff like this that keep me coming back to this thread' - and commenting with different user id's as well!
You and the other user id - same person or different persons - doesn't really matter does it, can go on and on about how SA should change, while ignoring the perspectives of others because they don't match your own.
As has been said now, many times, what you both are asking for is Not something $ supporters are asking for.
It is fine to have your own opinion and desires but expecting a story that is already about 6.5 years into the journey to ignore the asks of the $ supporters and, instead - adapt to your desires/address your unusual critiques is simply an act of entitlement.
I understand - this is not unusual on this forum.
It was up to the dev what he chose to do with the feedback. And what he chose was a reply. One insinuating in the nicest way possible that I was too porn-addled to understand all the complexity and depth of a baggage-based relationship. I'm not sure what you would expect of me. Should I not have responded to that? To others that are nice enough to come to my defense? To those rabidly accusing me of being an alt for having agreed with someone?
If you want to know the truth of it, I didn't ask for specific changes because I don't think this game is all that fixable. Especially since I focused on just the worst issue in my review. That's why I gave it a 1 star. To warn my future self and others that this game is unfortunately a dead end. The conversation I had with the dev was mostly just to explain to him why I came to that conclusion. I understand he put a lot into this so I felt I owed him that much.
Personally, if I received that kind of criticism I'd reflect on why my writing was coming off that way. Obviously I would not be happy but even if I disagreed with the specifics, it's still a strong indicator that I'm not getting my stories and characters off the way I intended. But it's no sweat off my ass if it gets rationalized away entirely. It's not my craft.
