criticism is fine, this forum also has review system. no one prevent them to give it a 1 star in the review.I would like to highlight that ban at Patreon doesn't only mute, but also block access to developer updates. If we compare Steam store (btw, the most popular game shop) to Patreon, at Steam forum ban is only forum ban. If you ignore multiple moderator warnings (you must be insane), only then you get muted, but you can continue to play all games and follow all updates. Also, at Steam store you can find both positive and negative reviews, and it doesn't ruin Steam. At Steam forums now people often make ridiculous topics with titles "do not buy" or "do not pre-order" and I see it getting a pass. Those people, btw, complain about finished games they didn't paid for.Criticism is ok, because it can be ignored.
see, you also feel annoyed if you have to always quote what you/others has said.I haven't read every post in this thread I come once in a while to see how it evolves so I don't know everything you said in this thread it was just the lack of logic or facts from the people complaining that I didn't find right.
Your 4 points are fair points, I do think that this drama might deter a lot of people from becoming patreons though, the main issue with your first point is that he can easily ban people or delete messages he finds "problematic" in his discord he can't here. ( Not saying he does it but he can if he chooses too )
Look I feel like you're moving the goal post, you said "I don't think those people have logic. They obviously don't consume any fact that doesn't support their opinion." from a comment who was oversimplifying complains. I'm not going to bother quoting the whole context you can just go back to your post that I replied to a page or two before. This had nothing to do with the 4 points you just made, people complain where they want and to who they want whether you find that meaningful or not. Complaining here might stop some people from becoming a patreon if that's their
You didn't say anything about the 4 points you just made, what you said points you to thinking the people complaining about Rannero have no logic and they don't consume and facts that doesn't support their opinion. Which is just plain wrong, there is a pattern with Rannero, anyone who uses facts and logic about him can see it. He took longer and longer to update the game at each update and he had excuses everytime.
And maybe the reason people don't discuss the routes, kinks, etc... much is because the game hasn't had anything new added to it in 2 years. And let's be honest this game story is basic, what is there to talk about ? If you want to talk story, routes, events, kinks, etc... It's not the right game for that from what I've seen there are no real "routes" you can miss events but it won't change the story ( at least from what I've seen ), the kinks aren't insane either and have been talked about a while ago, the only thing this game has to talk about is the art and Rannero's capacity to delay updates.
when I said "I don't think those people have logic. They obviously don't consume any fact that doesn't support their opinion." it's pretty much the same case. the same complains have just come out from the same person for multiple times, and people also relied about those complains by pointing out some of those complains are not based on facts. which I don't want to go back to find it all. But those people still complain about the same argument based on inaccurate statement. This situation is why I came up with that statement. If I have to make all above crystal clear by quote everything that leads to my statement, I probably have to write an essay.
You can say I oversimplified the complains by that statement, because it is a SUMMARY of what I observed. I don't think a one-sentence summary can turn out to be full of details.
as for " He took longer and longer to update the game at each update and he had excuses everytime. " I don't know about every update time, since I first check this game after v0.7. Furthermore, if more content gets released with more development time. I don't think there is anything wrong about it. before a new version is released in the end, and we see how much content is there, I don't think it's fair to say that it doesn't deserve more development time.
you can also treat what I said is also complains about those complains. no matter whether they like it or not.people complain where they want and to who they want whether you find that meaningful or not. Complaining here might stop some people from becoming a patreon if that's their
see, this attitude or bring topic to freedom of speech doesn't help anything.
