Malise and the Machine preceded Pure Onyx, so we already had years of milking from Eromancer when ULMF and the chan sites were the only place to vent about crap like that. And therein lies my point. Snats has a track record of long releases at a regular cadence; Eromancer has been scamming since basically day 1, and he did it back when there were only like 4 big western devs so he could dominate the market with a midling offering cuz it had nice graphics. The track record is what matters. And before bringing up someone like ICSTOR, they were only ever consistent with their short form games, as soon as they started going for longer titles they became unreliable.
