Yes, but there is no need to be rude to the guy.  It's their first game - how are they supposed to know everything?

No rudeness was intended. I regularly see first time publishers with no demo and a price tag, wondering why no one buys. But people do not start as a developer. They usually play games first. It just baffles me, how those new developers seem to forget their previous player experience.

To put it in other words, I wonder how many dollar games they previously purchased as a player. Games that they had no previous knowledge and there was no demo available. From an unknown developer. If the answer is "zero", there you have the reason for my apparant rudeness.

If the answer would be "lots", it would be understandable to publish it similar to the demo-less games they purchased.

Sorry, whenever I see someone start a comment or post with "This ^^^" or the like, I always read it with attitude, and that colored the rest of the post for me - that was my bad.  Have a nice day, fellow internet commenter.

Oh. And I always thought, it meant, that someone wholeheartedly agrees with something. A bit similar like saying "dito". Or maybe "same", "I agree" or probably "well said". Best fitting might be the old "hear, hear".

If there is any attitude would depend on the thing "this-ed". Maybe people often like to use that type of thread slang to refer to negative remarks. If so, I failed to realize it.

Eh, who knows.  You learn something new every day (or get even more confused about something every day).  I assumed what it meant, and you know what they say about assuming! :)
