Listen, mate, I don't need to pay anything to state facts that may be unpleasant for naive, stupid people and those who like to deceive themselves.I was going to ask you a question - do you pay for this game? - but I think the answer is already contained in your comment, so obviously not, unless you consider yourself an idiot?
I understand the frustration of the active and paying members. I can also understand the fear of those who have been attached to this game for years, of seeing the game with this tag: "Abandoned". What I understand much less is the people who unleash their anger on the developer because he doesn't deliver the updates on the dates he announced, EVEN THOUGH these same people have never paid a single dim to support the game. Would you go to yell and complain to a car dealership about the malfunction of "your" car, which is a stolen car from that same dealership?
And also, don't forget one important thing. It's thanks to these idiots who pay that the game continues to evolve - I know, very slowly, blah blah blah - and very often, when it's not the developer himself who posts his own game, these same idiots who pay also leak the game for those who don't pay, you, us, so that we can enjoy it for free.
So, by all means, thank you. I was one of those idiots who paid for this game, but thanks to you, I know I'm not one anymore, because I stopped paying a few years ago. "Sarcasm on": When something is free, you are the product!
Just my two cent thought
Right now, the game isn't developing properly; it's in a state between life and death, stubbornly stagnating, and this has been going on for ages. Constant delays, lies, feeding people falsehoods, ridiculous amounts of updates — all of this has become the norm for this game; this is not development. Approximately 1-2% progress per year is not DEVELOPMENT, it is a pitiful handout to milk a bunch of stupid people who hope for some positive changes until the end of the author's days, without doing anything in particular.
And the only ones to blame for all this are those very "cash cows" who sponsor laziness, greed, and lies. They are killing the game with their own hands, thinking they are doing "good" by sponsoring the author's actual idleness and so that this very author can have them in all their holes, feeding them empty promises and pathetic scraps, which the author will proudly call an update for the YEAR.
SHOCK THERAPY in the form of losing money is NECESSARY for people like Irphaeus. After all, jerks like him don't know what honour, humanity and other good qualities are; they can only profit from people and lie; that's their craft, and there's no creativity involved. He must be fought with such methods, and then he will either change for the better and try to become at least a semblance of a person who works conscientiously on his project, or he will go to the rubbish heap to die in poverty. The second option won't change much for fans of this game, but at least it will be possible to bury it in peace, rather than tormenting a living corpse.
