I feel this. In such a Niche genre there is no room to listen to critics. Especially a genre that has lurkers. The developer needs to focus on their image of what it is. Maybe Patreon has a few extra skins but the people who pay and wait the extra time will enjoy the rest. Nobody shits on Microsoft or EA when you pay for a skin that eventually becomes obtainable through gameplay. They are uneasy but they should hold strong. Imagine a greasy fat shit cheap complainer changing the direction of an artist.
