Those devs i can kinda understand , even if they are ultimately wrong in my book .
From where they stand they only see clowning , hate , and obviously pirating parasites , especially if that's how their "friends" present the topic to them . Also they probably project themselves into the situation . Projecting their own past dealings with rabid trolls and haters , and their worries about people overreacting over deadlines or any kind of unwanted changes and addition in their games .
They don't get and skim over the parts that matter , the scams , the constant lies , the gaslighting etc . Don't feel lumped into the same lot and attacked , when you did not do those .
