I disagree completly, there is nothing valuable about the critics here for most devs. Maybe for a few who are just starting out and get indeed helped out here and have a way more patient readership here (but just at the beginning ..) otherwise the only benefit for devs here is to use it as free advertisement.There are benefits for the developer to be here, mostly passive. Reading and understand, and trying stay cool. Those are unfiltered messages. When you can ignore poisoners messages and trolls of all sort, the rest is gold for a developer; new ideas, what people like, dislike, does the direction where game goes is correct. Unfiltered messages are much better then bunch of "yes Sayers" because there are very rarely critic.
99% of the critics are just really dumb people with a dumb and simple minded mindset and usually its the guys who never pledge anyway.
Nothing about "This game sucks, i cant fuck my mom" is valuable no matter how many harem or incest enthusiasts cry about it, sometimes being here feels like youre surrounded by a bunch of overly impatient and entitled 12 year olds with severe adhs.
Guys like Ottoeight for example, always whining and crying in oceans threads behaving as if his insight (about ocean being slow) is anything new or interesting but he still cant just fuck off as it seems like he still want to play it.
Or people predicting a bad financial future for the dev if he doesnt involve kink x or whatever, its just 99% very stupid shit and i imagine the most valuable critics are on patreon anyway.
