Because (to abuse this metaphor until it screams for mercy) this particular fountain station has about five other flavors I like that I get for my same two bucks a month, and I actually do want to know about updates on the coke machine. I'm just tired of the screaming about the coke machine that come down to 'Who cares about the other flavors, I just want my free coke. Anyone that likes the other flavors must be lying or a sock puppet.'
I mean seriously, if you don't think what you have right now (came this close to typing 'have in hand' before thinking better of it) is worth $2, that's seriously fine. If you paid $24 over two years and you don't feel you've got your money's worth, well that's the risk of patreon but I can sympathize.
If you seriously can't stand that *I* think it's worth $2/month, that my paying for the game is somehow screwing up your getting the game you want?
Well, yeah - then you're being an entitled ass. Get over yourself.
Alright since you want to fuck this metaphor well allow me to fuck this metaphor 6 ways till Sunday, and if she tries to escape, then I'll grab her by the ponytail and ram harder.
My tern! Yippie kaiyay motherfuckers
So there's this store (pateron) it has a reputation for investing in coke machines that have produced various flavors made by different people that range from ok to amazing. One day someone (We'll call him Joewei) decides to introduce a new flavor Boot Sweat Bliss. It's alright but fills a specific niche that hasn't been as explored at the time of it being made so you begin following this person's endeavors to see if it's worth investing in his endeavors. At first, you've been sampling each iteration for free thanks to some individuals and you begin to you gain the confidence to support his work. One day, Joewei decides to introduce a partner (named Joeda) who in theory is supposed to help make the flavor even better than before and at first he does it's honestly better than the previous versions and you increase the amount you give them.
Sounds fine right?
Well one-day, Joeda ends up missing his deadline that he and his colleague have set for themselves. It happens even the other coke flavor makers have delayed their products once or twice before it's nothing new. So you shrug it off as a sexy asian man once said "a rushed game is forever bad but a delayed game is eventually good". Joeda then sets up a new deadline and congertz he actually follows through. Cut to a few months later, and Joeda and Joewei end up hyping an overhaul to the flavor that makes it even better than before. They have a few teasers that hook you in and sets up a deadline for this amazing overhaul and you and several other investors are extremely excited. I mean this flavor has only been getting better and better with each new iteration! How can this not be anything but exciting? Joeda ends up having a countdown even and this is going to be something nice and dandy. However as the countdown continues fro days on end, Joeda realizes that he kind of bit off more than he could chew and decides to stop and focus on one aspect of the flavor and shows off a sample that isn't half bad but makes you wish that this was going to be like the long hyped overhaul. You shrug it off and continue to tend to life.
Then we reach the last few minutes of the countdown.
Joeda says "stop stop STOP!" and those ready to beat their fireworks till the cows come home stop and look at Joeda. Joeda looks nervous and says "I'm going to delay it for a few days."
Those days pass and now Joeda says "give me next week."
Next Week happens. Joeda says "next month."
Next month happens and Joeda just shrugs and says everyone's favorite line "When it's ready"
As time goes on, Joewei realizes that this is taking too long so he decides to make a new flavor (dubbed Toelicious Twist) to tide everyone over until Boot Sweat Bliss's ovehaul is finished. Once again other flavor makers have done the same so you shrug it off. This new flavor fills the same niche and was fine overall but the taste of wasted time and money constantly lingers. So Joewei decides to add a new aspect to Boot Sweat Bliss that hypes everyone up and it tastes fine. Once you thought the side shit has been finished. Joeda has a big think and instead of doing what he's supposed to do, he decides to fuck around with Toelicious Twist claiming that he's going to make a big update that will in theory complete the flavor. He delays it again and again until he releases it unfinished and decides to move on as if it was finished. You begin to get suspicious about his practices but then uh-oh it turns out that Joewei was plagiarizing the work of other flavor makers to further his project pissing off other investors. In response, you lower the money that you invested in.
Cut to next year.
Joewei makes another flavor a few different flavors in fact meet Devilish Kiss and Debt-y Downer. They're fine but then there's Joewei fucking with them instead of doing his long-overdue shit. Yeah his tweaks make the flavors even better than before but he's been neglecting his previous commitments and even then delays his tweaked versions as well.
Baffling I do say. So you begin to join the "haters" and call out this bullshit.
Joeda then starts acting like a massive cunt and has somehow amassed a bunch of people who still support his actions as if nothing's wrong here. While Joewei admits to his actions and to a degree plays it off. Eventually, Joeda finds a way to silence your voice while his defenders cover their ears and go "Lalala I'm not listening" or Act like dicks losing any trust or goodwill that could have manifested. And what's this? People are beginning to catch onto this niche and begin to create flavors that cater to this niche in either a timely manner (Katalytic Krisp) in a new way (Dominate Delight) or adding unique aspects to their pre-existing flavor (Monster Girl Dreamy Delight) now there's no excuse at this point.
While you've quit the next best thing is to warn others about Boda's practices especially since they show little to no signs of changing their ways. As People like them are what gives the store a bad rep in the first place.
And that's even ignoring that they are scamming another language's market by making them pay essentially $15 for a half-assed translation of a game that is mediocre and costs $2 to begin with.
In the end, I (and many) don't care that you find it "worth it" it's more so. I/we recommend you not support a major asshole and his submissive artist who are essentially scamming people at this point. It doesn't help that you're coming in here guns-a-blazing. It's like sticking your dick into a beehive after slapping the thing. Why the hell would you do that?
Tl;DR
Every bodypart is a goal and your metaphor is complete and utter shit
There's my wall of text for the next few months see ya when it happens again.
