This is the sort of thing that motivates me to hate Devs too. A fanbase that just loves to mock anyone that does not agree with their point of view.
I am sure I was an arsehole at one stage. It certainly is why I was blocked. Does that mean I should be ignored, my concerns ignored? Even when I had calmed down?
Thats bad customer service. When a customer is angry you attempt to deescalate, not ignore. Ignoring a customer is only going to lead to further escalation.
I also never said anything about it being NiiChan's fault. NiiChan is not responsible for anyone's behavior except his own. But he did reference Eternum, he has linked his story to Caribdis' story. That has consequences and I am sure that he will reap more positive ones than negative.
As I said, my opinion is of little consequence. Does that mean I should just shut up? I think I should speak up as often as possible, try to hold these Devs to a higher standard, especially since there's money and art involved.
I don't have a problem waiting 6 months, but maybe that's just me. You had bad customer service as a payer? Fair enough, I won't speak on that. But now the problem is you come off as entitled and petty regarding MBML. "That has consequences" What consequences are you going on about? You act as if this is some big controversy. You're the first person I've seen that's had so much dislike for Caribdis. I'm not saying you're unjustified for that, but your anger at the Eternum reference is. (This is also not the only game with an Eternum reference that I've played).
You're basically saying: I'm not going hold Niichan responsible for Eternum but I'm going to hold Niichan responsible for Eternum by almost quitting their game.
It's not about having opposing viewpoints. You can hate Eternum all you want for all I care. It's the complete lack of logic behind your initial comment is what I find absurd lol.
You said that a simple REFERENCE got you on the verge of quitting. Not like an incite of hate speech or some personal attack. A simple reference to another work. A work which has nothing offensive in it to warrant such a reaction. It's like if you hated broccoli and threatened to break up with your partner for even saying the word again lmao.
And what I found even more hilarious is your second paragraph. You make it seem as though the decision to refer to another AVN has catastrophic effects on the developer's following. Again, utter hilarity.
