You deserve some respect for presenting your argument well.I really like Young Again, and no I am not a Patron (so you are not milking me), and I appreciate that you put your game out for free (I really do). But if you are working on a 2nd game on your 'free' time. Then you are not working on Young Again, I read one of your Patron posts about how you didn't really know what you wanted to next in Young Again, so you would be working on the other game.
I am not trying to be an asshole here, and I do hope you are not like so many other devs that have no plan for a game and just winging it as you go.... that never ends well. Anyway I have said my piece on your game as it is now (other than you should make a way to bring back the other goddess that is a statue). I look forward to more Young Again.
I do wish you the best. And I respect the work you have done on Young Again (nice characters, MC is not a wimp, story, etc.)
peace
But in my opinion, everyone who does not support a game financially is a freeloader and therefore not really entitled to an opinion on a dev's business practices.
If someone does support a game financially AND the dev promises regular (e.g. monthly) updates but always misses the deadline, then MAYBE you have a right to complain. But even then, the Patreon / Subscribestar business model works on the premise that you give money so the dev can be creative. You are not buying anything, you are just enabling the dev to continue what he's doing. And if he's being lazy, or otherwise no longer worth your money, then you are free to cancel your support.
But again, in my opinion, this is a pirate forum. The dev, for whatever reason, chooses to interact with the community, but this does not give us any rights. However this lack of rights also kinda gives us the moral freedom to pirate his work. The dev has no obligation to us, and we don't have an obligation to him.
