Again with the mental health claims? Can't you just leave that aside? Believe me I'm upset as much as anyone about the delays, but playing psychologist is going too far. Going by that logic you should also be consulting for the amount of aggression you exude here. The only thing we should do is convince people to stop supporting those guys and support their direct competitors instead.
I already addressed the vacuous argument that I'm "playing psychologist"
here, you're welcome to go read it and try to debunk any claims I'm making if you think you're up for it. And if you must know, I
am going to a psychologist myself, but not for "exuding aggression" like you put it (if my handful of snide remarks are what you'd consider aggression then I'm jealous of the sheltered life you've been living), since that is hardly comparable to whatever's going on in Koda's case, since it's very clearly been affecting his ability to function in a professional setting for a while now... i.e. shit's really serious, he should maybe be getting help from an expert.
For the longest time I considered your claims that Koda go see a mental health expert nothing but a meme. But now with this whole level 0 fuck up I think you’re on to something. I mean homeboy said it would be ready in a week like what? 2-3 months ago? It’s all at it’s core nothing but a porn game, that’s why I try and not take any of this seriously, nor am I a patron so I mean whatever. But in some way I think Koda does need some counseling either mentally or professionally.
The way I see it we've got 3 possible explanations for Koda's behaviour:
1. He's a perfectly healthy young man who means well. Everyone misses deadlines, delays happen, release dates should always be taken with a grain of salt. He's just a perfectionist, good games take time, a rushed game is forever bad, yada yada.
The only ones who actually believe this are newcomers who are in a state of disbelief at Koda's antics, or delusional long-time Patreon supporters who are unable to come to terms with the fact that they've been throwing money at a lazy scammer-type who's been taking them for suckers all this time, or a sick man who'll never use that money for mental treatment because everyone keeps pretending that he's a-okay.
No one who thinks this is the case should be taken seriously.
2. He's an opportunist who realized that with such a docile base of supporters who won't rock the boat no matter what, he can get away with working less and less, all the while raking in those Patreon bucks along with Bo Wei. In this scenario the "mastermind" could actually be Bo himself, using Koda as his scapegoat and meat shield (it would make sense since Bo likes to pretend he's got next to no agency over his projects despite being the Head in their little "Boda" partnership).
Nothing as villanous or exaggerated as some people like to make it seem, just a bunch of slimy guys who saw an opportunity to take advantage of a bunch of overly-trusting dudes with open wallets and then took it. I wouldn't put either of them above doing this tbh (especially Bo), but if it
is true there's nothing we can do besides calling patrons dumb and telling people to stop pledging, which only seems to embolden them in their financial support lmao
3. What I've been saying, Koda needs to go see a mental health expert because his increasing lack of motivation is a symptom of a mental health issue. Could be anxiety, could be depression, that's for a professional to determine, all we can ascertain is that the dude is not fine.
1 is just ridiculous by this point, Idk if it's 2 or 3 but they're the only serious explanations that I can come up with. If anyone's got other theories then feel free to share 'em.
