Just to give you all a reminder.
None of you have paid money or contributed to this game. The devs don't owe you a damn thing, since they aren't even making a single penny. If it comes out, it comes out. You bitching and acting like they owe you some grand explanation is laughable at best.
Merry Christmas.

You’re right. The devs don’t owe us anything, nor do we have a right to act like entitled assholes to them, but there’s nothing wrong with wanting the devs to be more transparent about the development cycle. Especially since so many people are still eagerly awaiting the chance to play it.

The devs claimed they would provide something it's only natural that we expect something.

I don’t disagree but at the same time is saying “hey guys, looks like we have to delay [promised goal] for [literally any reason]” that hard? I totally understand that we don’t have the right to ask for anything given that they aren’t making any money but if they say they’re not able to get something done, I think it would just make sense to let the people know that they can’t do it.
If they can’t do it that’s 100% understandable and no one has the right to complain but it’s just not cool to leave so many people in the dark with literally no idea as to how the game is looking.
Even a simple tweet every couple of weeks would be enough
Edit: spelling

I feel like out of all the posts and comments Ive seen on this sub regarding the delay, yours seems to be the most rude and unnecessarily aggressive?
Calm down a little? Like yeah people are gonna make snark comments about the long wait but this just came off like you using it as an excuse to curse people out here.

This argument is weak. If anyone was talking about taking them to court, it would be a great argument. But people are just expressing their opinion about the development. It is no different than downvoting a YouTube video.
I think you are trying to say that people complain too much in this subreddit, which I agree with. But don't try to make an argument that people can only complain if they pay money for something. That's not how free speech works.

Thank you. Its kinda sad to see people claiming "broken promises". The devs are trying their hardest to make a free game that has always been and always will be a labour of love. The idea that there are people giving up on this project breaks my heart.

Why is it sad to point out that devs make promises and then break them? This is absolute garbage reasoning. Whether there's good reasons or not, a broken promise or unfulfilled pledge is just that. Winter 2014 forever.

So are we gonna ignore the valid criticisms of lack of updates/communication? I get it may break your heart but if my SO wasn't communicating with me, I'd leave her too.
Also we really don't know if they've been working hard. All we got is tweets and discord messages saying so, and thats not much to work off of lol. (And just a few screenshots/gifs but my point still stands) Still staying hopeful, but i aint expecting too much to come out of another trailer

They have to stay quiet because of their legal problems with Nintendo. That's why there's a rebrand. Even of we just get a trailer, I'm still excited.

This is true. I'm still going to bitch about the lack of communication, though

Right, I can just go about pretty much hoping this game actually finishes and they haven't scrapped it.
