I mean you did sort of call the dev a "Canadian Leech" in your original post. It may be edited now but you still said it in regards to how he monetized the game, even if it wasn't your own personal feelings, but talking for all of his patrons. The dude just said it as a joke because it seemed hypocritical of what you were trying to say and now you're harshly attacking him.
Canadian Leech is my new favorite insult btw.
Pff... I'll try to simplify, as much as I hate to flood here. I wrote that IF my understanding was correct, I'D feel like the author is 'greedy Canadian...' (the word used was not leech and it's all still there), so kinda think of this, people, if plan to/support the next game. I called no one names directly and felt nothing at the moment cause I paid nothing and got no game, fair and square. In the very next post author responded, and, again, in the very next one I apologized for misunderstanding and wished him luck. End of story, issue resolved. (Posts 445-447). I admit though my initial post could sound less harsh.
The author was concerned, of course, because I casted shadow on him and his work. Were the others concerned? Maybe. I addressed wide range of people there, am I not? If you're a patron and got the game, you could just ignore it or correct my understanding - one problem here is that the issue had already been resolved at the time people started to write and call me names. So obviously the only meaning their posts had is to insult me personally, not to clarify things.
Cleanfeel cited completely another post in the first place, the one including my suggestions for the next game. And about sarcasm - it might have been there and it might not. It's more difficult to recognize one just through the monitor, and it's kind of convenient sometimes to point back and say that some post was just a joke or sarcasm? Some could read this one
So clearly you're not one of the Patrons, 15 dollar tier or not. Why are you talking so loud when you're just a greedy Canadian leech?
as - 'well, bud, you don't pay, you're leech and pirate, so you don't have a right to...' well, I don't know - to 'write about the game or suggest smth. for the next one? To state your concerns about or criticize the author'? Hence my response to him... As I wrote it's a free world and so yes, I think I have the right. Besides, this thread was initiated by the author for some reasons - maybe to promote him and his work, maybe to get some sensible feedback, and some more.
Now some random jerk calls me a fucking clown. If that's the best you and others can do in this thread for other people and author to see looking for some sensible information and news, don't bother, you bitches...
For the ones consider themselves sane - let's stop this flood. The issue is long gone. It would serve everyone better if people started to post meaningful suggestions for the next game instead of flooding, insulting and asking for the free full version of the game (at least before there is a thread for the next game, if there appears any).
P.S. Even though the author stated previously on Patreon planned 10$ price on Steam, Steamdb indicates that if you live in South America, India, Turkey, Russia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, South Africa you can get the game for under 5$ (prices vary, under 2$ for Argentina and Turkey, generally lower than stated 10$). Consider...
