"You used a 'dreamspace' to depict real quotes from real people after which a depiction of you, a real person, attacks them all."
Ah... what? Are you in your right mind Sawyer?
First you try and say "dreamspace" in quotes, as if it's not an actual thing. When the opening graphical style, is realistic.
And then as the digital/dreamspace begins, it changes the graphic-style completely to support that.
Then you read an insane amount of chatter about the MC, which includes:
- Pirating his work
- Making false accusations towards him and his work
- Filing reports against them, with the intention to get them taken down
- Making up catchy and insulting names for him
- Probing him and spying on him to get more evidence to damage him
- Downvoting all his social media posts to decrease their visibility
- Getting him actively blacklisted from communities
- Banning him from their own communities, cutting off his access to other devs
- Wishing death on him
- Calling him the worst names
- Encourage shit-talking his mother
- Repeatedly insulting his fans, followers, or any person who defends him for any reason
- Calling the fans cultists
- Review bombing his games
- Plotting to write negative articles to mess up his search results and damage his name & brand
and so much more...
And when the MC confronts the person leading & encouraging all this. She literally reveals "Yeah, I know you're not going to do us any harm. You just make us uncomfortable. So just go away from this place where you spent & contributed to for years." (Not an exact quote. Just giving the idea.)
And when MC does not follow through with her demand. The same person, completely flips. And says to her followers that no, MC is out here to harm them. And gives a call to violence. (That has actually been said, Sawyer.)
So as a mob all come and attack the MC.
He defends.
And you just shortened all the above to:
"You used a 'dreamspace' to depict real quotes from real people after which a depiction of you, a real person, attacks them all."
Please Sawyer. Never play my games again.
Because if this is your capacity to understand. And I have to write this long of a text... to correct you to defend myself.
It is better you don't play my games. (Which I know you don't) So I never have to waste time doing this sort of thing ever again.

"Would you feel it was justified if another developer took things you've said out of context into a game where they "ban" you with a katana?"
Sawyer... buddy... they've been doing worse than that. (╥﹏╥)
I didn't name any of them. I mixed, sometimes edited, and distributed those quotes (from the same person) among many NPCs. Making sure the ideas are there, not the person. And I made a game about it. With a story, and some action.
That's what I did... right now. But what did they do? What have they been doing?
They took what I said, out of context. Named me, having said those things. Having meant, something completely different. And then use that, to say and do all the above.

"This is not an appropriate way to address criticism..."
Keep making stuff up, to be bothered Sawyer.
I didn't make this game, to address criticism. I made this game... to deal with the harassment that has been happening to me.
A harassment that has been escalating... and escalating...
I made this game, also because what these people have been doing... has been wasting my time. (In having to defend myself repeatedly, in front of some authority or mob.)
And since I'm a game dev, and I have to deliver quality games to gamers. And so for wasting my time, I took their quotes, and their plots, and what they've been doing to me... as content. To make this game within 2 weeks.
I'm super proud of it.
And people who have been enjoying my previous games. Are enjoying themselves with this one too.

"and I'm frankly a little disgusted."
It is the height of narcissism... that people, who have never played any of my games (you). And vocally dissociated themselves from me... (you)
Suddenly come up, and decide to say they're disgusted of me. Or that they're disappointed.
These sort of comments only matter Sawyer... if you ever, held a high opinion for the person before. And you had let them know before.
Unless... your comment is not for me.
And It is to appeal your allegiance to the mob that has been after me.
Sure... save yourself.
