I used a boss as an example not an argument, I used similar situations to put more perspective into my argument.
Even if I never gave a cent for Rannero you can still criticize how he handles his development cycle, a lot of people co
I was one of his patreon and my argument support my behavior since this is the reason why I stopped supporting him and I'm here explaining it to you since you misrepresent people's complains. I don't mind if you disagree with the reasons some people are unhappy but you oversimplify their complains and then you talk about logic.
I went into my patreon billings and I misremembered I didn't support him for 2 years but for a bit more than a year. From the 10th October 2017 to November 2018, I didn't put every billing because the majority aren't alone these two were and if I start cropping everything what's the point.
Edit : It's to April 2019 since he didn't bill in December 2018 I thought I was the one who canceled I should've checked sooner
You don't need to prove that you are a patreon , because that's not what my point is.
If you say the boss topic is just an example to provide more perspective, then I already point out previously why this is not a good example for your argument about the development cycle. And I never argue about the development cycle. It's surely bad to not release a version in two years. it's all Rannero's decision, he takes responsibility for his decision, whether the outcome is that he get less patreon or whatever.
My point is, if you read my response in the latest pages and I have mentioned it multiple times in this thread, no matter you are a patreon or not, complaining here about his development speed/cycle or other patreons that are still paying him (I am not sure if you complain this or not, but a lot complains here are about this) is of no use.
Reason being,
1) he won't come here to see any complains. patreon or discord is the place to give feedback, not here. The dev never come here as far as I know.
2) complaining here won't make the development progress faster, same reason as 1). furthermore, he can ignore all non-patreon's complains, because there is no impact on him.
3) convincing patreon s to stop paying him in this thread is useless, because I didn't see any ongoing patreon complains here, so I assume they are either satisfied with the update on scene drawing or they already stopped paying, or they just don't come here. No matter which is the case, I sincerely respect how they are spending their money. it's none of my business. However, I see a lot of people here call those patreons stupid, which is not acceptable for me at least.
4) complaining here just make the atmosphere here toxic. unlike a lot of other threads, this thread doesn't have any discussion on the routes, events, kinks etc, but only drama/complains. Or more accurately speaking, drama topic is much more popular in this thread than the actual discussion on the game itself. However, I can understand because there is no update for two years, there isn't much about the game to be discussed anymore. So maybe just let it be quiet for a while.
The reason why I bring up logic is that quite some people here can't see above 4 points which is straightforward logic result of facts. Each of those opinion from mine has facts as support. If anyone wanna change how I see the whole situation or those 4 points, please provide some facts or proof the "facts" that I said is wrong or inaccurate. (But you don't need to, just save yourself some time.) If the argument turns back to human rights, freedom of speech, etc. Sorry, they are not relevant.
