Life sucks at times, WE all have our own issues and problems and yet the world will not stop for us, especially when no one can corroborate your claims, and I don't need to pay or even use your product to point out that something is arguably wrong with the way you do things.Are you paying for those things you complain about? Did the chef give you free food? Had you ever tasted or cooked for before? Seems to me like you and most everyone has a knowledge of food and how to prepare it and how it should taste.
I am just saying that if we keep up with the constant negative in the forum it is not a good thing to keep a dev wanting to work. A friend was a game developer a while back and life hit (someone died), then logging into read negativity and people saying scam this and lies that and accusing him of making up personal problems when he had much more to deal with killed his passion to do anything. Especially for those that were so negative. Constantly accusing someone when you have no idea what is going on in their lives is not the way to go. Be better human beings. The develop your own game thing was to put yourself in their shoes. See what these guys and girls go through every month. Not all of them are single or without families and can dedicate 100% of their time to a game. If you work do you want to work 90 hours a week and get paid for 40 and spend zero time with your family? There are literally people who pop in here every day and post negative stuff for a game they love just because they cannot have it now.
Regarding your "put yourself in your shoes" comment, the logic for that "if you haven't done this before you can't complaint" is flawed, I just pointed that out, you just never do that on your daily life unless you know whoever is involved on a personal basis, just how many times have you complained about a product or service without care for the reason for it?
I have never supported toxic behavior, it is always better to be civil about pretty much everything, that is out of the question.
But complaints do have some value, individually they may be childish undeserved claims, and you will always get some of it, but the amount you get does reflect that perhaps some of your practices are not well received.
By the way, having a couple or family is irrelevant on this matter, you are putting out a product for a price, you should treat it as the work it is, set a time for it, get your schedule right, if you know the amount of time something takes, you should plan ahead of it, you shouldn't have to sacrifice your personal life if you do things properly, when someone says full-time job it usually means about 8 hours of work per day, what you do with the rest is up to you.
