I think you gravely misunderstand my words.
I am not here to make fun of people enjoying their fetishes, as I am here to do the same.
And yes, I spend money on things others in my life openly call frivolities - and I myself recognize that, objectively, there are other avenues more worth my time & money. However, I like (doing) them, as I feel like I deserve to treat myself on occasion.

Yet, you all insist I am here laughing at the fact that you are willing to donate to WaL developers.

Which I am not. I merely pointed out that, realistically, it's not worth your money to be an active Patron of this game.
If you, as a customer/Patron, feel differently - or justified in being one, by all means, knock yourself out. But know that you are essentially giving money away for very little value in return.

'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and all that wishy-washy stuff..
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.

Also, they are not paying hundreds of dollars for a game, they are paying to support the developers. Look up the word 'patron'.

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 support pay 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"

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.
Like this one for example:


I didn't see anything that ask me money for downloading the latest version of the 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.

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.

I don't remember pointing fingers at WaL devs specifically (well, I said nothing about their work or their donation system actually).
I was advocating for people who think donation equals buying. TheDevian quite correctly reminded another user what donation is. And it was you who blamed users of this site for misunderstanding what donation is. I simply reminded you that you blamed wrong people. So I really don't get it, how is it connected to WaL developers? What they do every dev should do.

When the game is complete in 2070 we will all be grey and using viagra!
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.
By the way, what makes any wait unbearable is watching the clock constantly. Find a way to keep yourself occupied in the meantime, and the time will fly.
