so I was gone for what, 15 hours? And I've seen enough proof to confidently say BD is the most fucked up human being I've ever heard of. I mean I've seen shit but how the fuck hasn't he been doxxed yet? Making stupid excuses for being lazy is one thing, but using his wife and kid as an excuse to (once again) fool his paying customers is next-level asshole.
Then the fact how he treated EclipseTheStars. BD is a grown ass man and yet takes the most childish approach of "if I ignore the problem long enough it might solve itself". Personally I think he'll milk his supporters for a few months, maybe a year more and the announces the stop of development. I wouldn't be surprised and many others here neither (probably).
Anyways, long story short: It's sad to see how this game and it's dev have gone to shit.
Nah he's likely just the common con man . Here's my theory on what happened ... quality of the game debatable and a whole another topic aside. It likely just started small. One day he procrastinated for any kind of reason, felt he could easily catch up, and started lying about upcoming content. He started slipping with no consequences. Then it happened again , then again on a bigger scale. This time then he likely expected to meet some harsh criticism , disappointment and backlash that would give him some headache. Instead he was met with full on support from adoring fans , people that basically told him "It's ok don't worry ! you slay Queen!! Yass etc" lol.
So he got away with murder, scot free, and it felt good and freeing. He noticed how much more leeway and control he had over false promises and content, than originally expected. He then started truly doing it whenever convenient, after all he was still in control, and would still deliver. Of course until he did not and it snowballed further and further... and we know the rest.
