Just want to note, the option to report a comment for containing an update that is not made public is not for getting the post deleted, it's to alert the mods to add the update to the main post at the beginning of a thread. Same way the walkthrough got added to the main thread, I reported it as a walkthrough so the mods would pin it. This is, after all, a pirate forum. If you were to report 0.2.6 early right now, it wouldn't get deleted, it would be added to the main post, giving it more visibility.
And for what it's worth, the dev accidentally leaking 0.2.5 early the other week is what motivated me to even make my mod (that and all of you constantly throwing out random point totals and asking "points doko?"), so it can go both ways. This forum is innately a double edged sword for devs; best place to get promotion for a new game and a community that can build additional tools to enhance your game, but also a community that may leak your game versions early. It isn't all one way though.
As for the dev's mental sanity, The King of Summer dev seems to have an excellent head on his shoulders. I believe he'll be just fine, have some faith in him (it's not even full 0.2.6 as far as I'm aware).
