Minor rant done! Won't bring it up again (for this episode at least) But I should get a bit of slack for that one minor rant....
Enjoy!

Dude, I'm sorry. Both for the much too fast release and for overzealous mods.
Some of them seem to think any form of disagreement has no place here.

You were pissed and rightly so, it's honestly not okay to delete your post because of that, especially knowing your usual friendly and communicative presence on this forum.

Please don't let this bad experience drive you away.
I know it sucks that your game got leaked so soon, but you definitely get a lot of support from here. Many people who found your game here and started supporting you.
I know I did.

i patiently wait for games..in all my time here i've said some really derp crap..but i do not believe i've ever asked "whens the update"..i'm patient...i'd have happily waited another 7-14 days...there are dozens of games from here i play to keep me occupied.

 

[botc76]

Can you please stop to complaining because the game is already here. THIS IS A PIRATE SITE.
It is happen for a lot of games and i quite sure that most of you play them without problem.

We like have dev here but our rules are pretty clear and simple.

Sorry, not okay.
Please show some sense in how you approach enforcing the rules. Let the guy vent a little.
A dev who acts like he usually does here is a win for this forum and this community.

Even in a community like this, there is still a certain amount of respect that dev's like cheeky earn (because he deserves it) but the immediate leaking of the latest version just shows a total lack of respect to him. Sadly it only takes 1 bad egg to spoil it for everyone. @CheekyGimp - I'm sorry to see the way you were treated mate... totally undeserved!

Wen a pirate site has to explain they are a pirate site. xD

 

[Papy.ion6984]

TY for this new update

 

[Pattitto00]

Yep...pirates...I'm downloading sorry :FeelsBadMan:

Right. But I find it sad sometimes when I find we (as a collective) seem to have lost all respect for each other. I'd like to think even pirates should (!) have a code of honor

 

[BellNL]

come on! at the end of the day they get a way bigger audience and get paid more.

was it not for this site then
A I wouldn't have played any of these games at all. (so no money for any dev)
B I don't pledge monthly because I think its absolutely bonkers to spend 12x 10$ for a year (most games have an average of 10 dollars minimum)
C I buy the devs a coffee every now and again when I can, this will have to be enough because I cannot afford more.

At the end of the day these games are side projects and I think when you are talented with a proper story to tell then the money will come. some devs get 10000+ a month. Seeing how fast this game is uploaded will only mean this dev will get more exposure and thus more money.

UNLESS: he becomes bitchy and pissy and he loses the goodwill of his (future) patreons.

but hey what do I know, I just made my first post

The only posts that were deleted were A) posts that fall into the usual "we need a hero!" and "please be patient" before an update drops, and b) posts that contained abusive language towards other members. @fortuna95 your post was not defending anyone, but asking people to be patient about the update.

@botc76 the only posts of the devs that were deleted were calling one member a "sad thieving fucker" and another an "idiot" so please don't come in trying to stir the pot without knowing the facts. These are against the forum rules, regardless of who posts them and why.

Saves from other versions work?

When a dev who is a part of this community here, who listens to us, who participates and also creates a fabulous game for us to enjoy and all he asks for is that people wait at least a little bit before sharing the update and then he makes one understandably angry post about it and that gets deleted, then yes, even a pirate site needs to explain shitty behaviour like this.

 

[ThunderRob]

Mr and or Miss Mod..you understand some of us are passionate about some stuff and its not often a Dev impresses this well apon us....its natural for us to jump to his defence..we are warriors!!!

A little tolerance is good too, sometimes ....
If you can not grumble a little, from time to time .... Anyway ... Have fun.

Geez. I'm sure the forum will break due to that. That's exactly what irks me, the rules are above all.
I've been on a lot of forums and let me tell you one thing, a really good mod knows when he has to give a bit of leeway, instead of adding to the toxicity.

I have absolutely no interest in stirring up shit, but I call it like I say it and if I think something is wrong I will point that out.

 

[sipi]

my favor game thx for update and pls support

 

[ScottyLQ]

What I don't understand is who was complaining? The posts that were deleted were people speculating about the release time, and the dev commenting on the guy who posted the link. Aside from that one nobody was arguing or complaining at all, just regular discussion.

The reaction seems very harsh compared to other threads where the flaming goes up to 11. Could it be a simple language-based misunderstanding?

 

[Avaron1974]

Never fails to amuse me when I come to a pirate site and see people claiming a moral high ground over other pirates.

"I may steal some content but I do so with a code of honor" ..... tickles my clit every time.

Cut the bullshit people, we're all in the same boat and we all do the same thing. I don't give a shit if you support certain devs the fact remains we are all on a pirate site stealing content whether it's from this dev or another nobody here supports every single developer.

There is no moral high ground, nobody here is better than anyone else.

As for the dev abusing people and others thinking he should have leeway, bullshit. I've been called out by mods several times when things have got heated and if this dev was to get away with it then i'd sure as shit expect to get away with it.

Either rules are enforced or they aren't you can't pick and choose for circumstances.

Does it suck for the dev?

Sure it does.

Am I going to fly into a rage at his defense, no because that would make me a hypocritical bitch.

 

[MausMaus]

sooooooo...ummmm,change log?
