spare the bug if you find one, its their first game, a new VN developer team
Its a
commercial product, they ask for money they need to deliver something worth money, period. Nobody should give a crap if its one dev, if its their first or fivehundredth game. And i hate folks like you trying to excuse anything like it would be expected... It is not! All of that is irrelevant.
What is expected is, putting out quality work, if you ask for money it's the only thing that counts, nothing more and nothing less. If you can not do it put it out
for free and work on your skills
until you are at the point of producing something worth money.
I can not even fathom bs like this why is this happening so often these days? How in the hell do you think the customers paying for this shit earn their money?! Its not like it flew out of the sky. I need to be an asshole now and i'm really not sorry about it. Just do not say anything if you are not involved with the dev at all, ok? This damage control bs you are engaging in right now is
why we even are at the point where devs shove out unfinished, buggy or machine translated products,
lie on kickstarter, overpromise in crowdfounding, (to a lesser extent take years fullfilling goals) and do not even feel remorse for any shady bullshit at all more often than not. There are allways the suckers making excuses like they are on the devs or publishers payroll. You should use your head and think about other paying customers first and maybe way down the line try to think about it form the devs perspective. But never the other way around.
