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'tThis is a simple concept that people in this site really like to miss.

Except that they give it away for free... The only thing we are not getting are the extras and our names in the credits.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'tsupportpay me you don't see my game" approach of almost every dev make people believe that they pay for the game. As a subscription. So I see it that way: "This is a simple concept that people asking for donations on sites like Patreon really like to miss"
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.You see, it's easy to miss when so called support is an only way to access this or that developer's work.

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."If you don'tsupportpay me you don't see my game"
...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.You see, it's easy to miss when so called support is an only way to access this or that developer's work.

Like this one for example:
You must be registered to see the links
I didn't see anything that ask me money for downloading the latest version of the game.
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....which, in case of this particular game, never has been the case -- "What a Legend" always was available for FREE!

I don't remember pointing fingers at WaL devs specifically (well, I said nothing about their work or their donation system actually).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.

Yeah. That is exactly my thoughts. But wcyd, that is because of the poll results.1 year of wait and its going to be an orc update
Can't wait, been waiting for her for years1 year of wait and its going to be an orc update
I'd say this is in my top 3, but man the wait time hurts.
That's how time works. Think about all the games, movies, books, products of human ingenuity that we won't be able to enjoy because we'll be dead when they're out... That's sad, isn't it? Well, not really - that's life. Mourning the things we can't enjoy only makes us miserable; enjoying other things is a good compromise.When the game is complete in 2070 we will all be grey and using viagra!
Still working on this...is the creator still working on this or has it been abandoned, almost a year since the last update and the progress tracker is still tbd
I KNOW!!!!1 year of wait and its going to be an orc update
