I understand what you are saying, and normally, I agree. In truth, BD is the only Dev that I get frustrated with concerning his update release schedule. There are plenty of devs that take much longer to put out updates (they ballance that by making massive updates) but they dont promise a delivery date until they are in the beta testing stage and once they announce a date, for the most part, they stick to it with in a couple of days.This is why I hardly comment (this is my 3rd ever post). I thought I made a logical, reasonable statement with the gist of "If it aint' costing you time and/or money, when ever it's out it 's out" kinda thing, and that somehow lead to people arguing.
I do understand the feeling of "I supported this guy and he didnt' deliver on his promises". It's shitty that happened and I assume continues to happen. Not trying to be a white knight or defend his shitty behaviour, but he's far from the only one who has ,does or will do this. People like money, and if he's pretty much gonna make the same about of money if he updates weekly vs monthly, then why would he have any incentive to post weekly. More work for the same pay? I may not morally agree with that, but I do see why it would make businesss sense. Shitty business sense and I wish he wouldnt do it, but I still see the "logic" behind it.
I just make the habit of checking the pateron site once a week or so. If he posted an update, I come here to see it. If he don't post an update, I just go do something else. As I mean, what else can you do? Write on here and complain about the game? I mean, who would ever do that, right?.......Right?
BD makes whild promises up front and then fails on his delivery and provides massive excuses for not keeping his word. By doing this, he himself has generated a culture of complaint. the only thing he can be counted on is to miss his own deadline. Most of us would actully complain less if he just stopped announcing delivery dates all together.
This doesn't mean that you should stop posting or commenting on threads. Be part of the conversation. if you dont want to causes and disagreements with what you say then stick to things that are less of a hot topic, like who your favorite girl is and why. or what you enjoied about a specific scene. these can also get some cross talk, but your view may cause someone else to think differently about a thing, and theirs may also enlighten your view as well. Even when we disagree, it's still a comunity. be part of it. If worst comes to worst, you can always put someone on ignore.
