What's hilarious is that even with the insane amount of bitching these people do for devs to release Android versions, when they actually do it's like nothing ever happened. They just don't give a shit, act like they were owed it from the beginning, maybe check the game for like a day then dump it in the gutter never to return. It's pathetic and I'm glad devs generally don't prioritize catering to these kinds of shitheads.
I'm a developer and I DO care what users want, because it's necessary to know how to make my projects better and keep them relevant. On the contrary, people actually lose interest when they're ignored or if devs are rude.
Saying "please" is not "bitching", what you're doing is. Some users don't have access to certain platforms so a more common one, android in this case, would make the game more accessible.
Hyao, if you're reading this, a note in the description above that android version is not coming anytime soon would be a better approach for those requests.
Respect doesn't cost anything.
You don't get it. In this day and age people fully expect a game to be released on every single existing platform from the beginning and act like they're owed it because of the easy access to everything today. Caring about what users want in terms of content for an already focused platform and making sure to cater to a specific non-existing platform and devoting time to consistently managing and updating it are different things. Devs are put under pressure to cater to those people so they don't lose potential clients when there's an existing fanbase to also look out for. It takes away from the already established fanbase that was created. The "common" platform here is PC, which has its existing platforms already. Saying "please" means absolutely nothing if you don't mean it, which 95% of these Android requests don't. If you say you're a dev you should already know how users generally behave before and after certain requests. 80% of them act like they deserve full attention of the devs even when they literally discovered them on that same day and that's what I've seen in COUNTLESS of these "gib Android pls" requests on every single project that doesn't have it from the get-go. And Hyao already has a FAQ for this and the question is already up there, but does that make sure these requests aren't begged for on every occasion regardless? Nope, because that's how users are~
1 - That was long, it felt like a life or death situation, just chill.
2 - People are moving towards phones more, so android version is more useful, especially if you don't want to get caught on your PC playing an erotic game.
3 - YOU don't get it, it's a one time setup, tweaking and fixing the UI then everything is good, even renpy makes it easier.
Just to be clear, I only care about content, beautiful art and amazing story/interactions is all I want, I would even prefer if Hyao kept this PC only, but he just said "not now" so people will keep bringing that up. And my reply above was about respectfully not lashing out at people you don't know.
Notice the latest comment posted by the same person who started this thread, bitching (yes bitching, try harder to convince me otherwise) for Android yet again. These are the kind of people that don't deserve any sort of attention or catering by devs who are pressured into doing extra work they shouldn't focus on. Motherfucker I know what I'm talking about so just shut up please (I said please so I'm not bitching~) since I've seen this so many times that it makes me sick seeing these entitled demanders everywhere. Clearly you're not much of a game dev to realize this or you're just a doormat people walk over just because they ask for something more often than they should or you'd like. Also no, people aren't moving towards phones more, that's all the underaged brats who need to hide their porn from their parents and who shouldn't be seeing porn in the first place. But since you can't prevent kids from watching porn and they're flooding the adult websites regardless, at the very least you ignore their needy requests since it's obvious which ones those are in the same predictable pattern.
