Yup, value is entirely subjective.
I am far from advocating how anyone should spend their money. I am advocating for the right to make fun of people for doing so.
Can we then make fun of you for whatever costly hobby you may have? Like, do you like coffee? Or going to the movies, or clubbing? Do you smoke? Do you enjoy watching TV platforms like Netflix or the like? Just a few examples of things I'm totally convinced aren't worth the money people spend on them, and that I can not really understand how on Earth have so many devotes. But going into a comic-con or whatever place where people who share the same hobbies meet, and saying it's my right to ridicule them would only make me look like a total cunt. But please do you do.
I think you gravely misunderstand my words.
And once again, you are telling people what THEY should value. It is not your place, to tell other people, what to do with their money, that is the whole point, that you are STILL missing. It is not up to you, to decide what other people value. Stop now, and find a new topic.
This is a simple concept that people in this site really like to miss.
You see, it's easy to miss when so called support is an only way to access this or that developer's work. "If you don't
Except that they give it away for free... The only thing we are not getting are the extras and our names in the credits.
But even in those cases, no one needs to 'subscribe'. You can just sign in after a new update is released and immediately cancel your pledge, and you'll have an entire month to download everything available to that tier. Kind of actually 'buying' the game. And, of course, there's still this forum.
Oh, funny. Since i never actually pay them a single penny and i still have no issue to see their game. They released it for free.
...which, in case of this particular game, never has been the case -- "What a Legend" always was available for FREE! People sending money to the devs via Patreon or any other way are actually doing so because they LIKE to SUPPORT them and their work.
It's obvious this user was talking in a broad sense, not about WaL in particular. Anyway, the point still stands: even in those games that are paywalled, people only interested in 'buying' the game still have options to do so without 'subscribing'. Therefore, if they choose to keep subscribed for many months it's because they get their satisfaction from supporting the development and not just from playing the game. So they'll keep paying until they decide that this satisfaction is not worth their money anymore. But this 'that'd be enough' point is different for different people, and this is the thing that these 'financial advisors' who feel entitled enough to even making fun of others for the way they spend their own money seem unable to grasp. They tend to think people is kind of stupid for not making the same monetary decisions than them, and some of them don't hesitate in publicly critice those decisions, without realizing than, in that very same moment, they become the stupid ones.
