Someone told me to come to this thread with a bag of popcorn.
But seriously, guys, I'm trying to understand the logic behind all of this. Please help me out.
You're all here and pissed off because the release that was promised isn't out, and you can't pirate it?
And in frustration, you feel it's justified to throw shit at the developer who's expressed mental issues and is also probably less than half your age, hoping they remove the game from this site, so he loses all his support.
Because you don't get your free update today?
Am I on the right track?
I've heard positive things, but never played your game, so I can't comment on you as a dev in relation to BD.
But I will say you are ignoring the actual problem just to mock everyone here for being entitled whiny pirates. What about his actual paying supporters, who continue to bankroll a dev that habitually misses deadlines and has nothing to give but excuses? They have a right to be pissed. They didn't get the update they've been paying for. We've seen that some of them don't care if he takes forever, but that is not the point. I've been a Patron for devs I like, and if I were supporting BD right now, I'd be genuinely pissed and not just "shitposting pissed."
And if BD is such a young guy who is constantly plagued with mental issues, that is relentlessly shit on by a group of people he's ignored for years, well maybe he should get some professional help. Nothing will change for him if he does nothing. Or perhaps he should find a different job, one with actual structure and less stress. It might mean less money than he's used to, but he would still be able to support his family.
BD is not a newbie only a few months into this scene. He is not struggling to make ends meet with only a few hundred patrons. His game is not a busted up piece of shit that has trouble finding an audience. The man is in a very enviable position, and miraculously still makes a bundle while showing nothing for it. Supporter or pirate, I'd be pissed.
So no, you are not on the right track.
I wonder what the math is behind that. Isn't BD like in his mid-twenties at least? Are there actually that many 50-60 year-olds on this site? I'm not saying there are none but most people here are probably closer to BD's age than to twice that. Just feels like a weird dishonest way to reframe the conversation as if we're somehow punching down on a teenager.
