Yes, but the problem is that literally any criticism is being rephrased by people in this thread as a form of milking, then the words "free game" comes out as if that's a shield. Frankly, I supported the game but stopped when I felt like the dev cycles got too long, and the ambition was too high. I'm just frustrated at the echo chamber this has become.
There are numerous facts that get presented to disprove the patently false "milking" claims/opinions.
The game is free, is one.
The devs offering refunds, is another.
The Patrons voted for releases to take longer, but be bigger, is another.
It's a bit difficult to reconcile any of those with "milking".
"I don't like this because...(=true)" = Criticism.
"I don't like this because (=true), I think it would be better if..." = Constructive criticism.
"I don't like this because...(=untrue)" = Invalid criticism.
"Waah, this dev's a crook!" = Worthless spouting of opinion.
