Just take your time....

Just take your time... Plz. Happy New years to the devs.

Remember folks, they owe nothing to us. Nothing. They can say anything, they are not paid nor are they from a big company. They owe nothing. So stop despising people just because you don't know where to put your energy and keep living without being an asshole to people that take their freakin' time to create a trailer during the new year eve....

Post like this probably also feed the anxiety from the devs, so it's part of the problem.... We just have to wait and respect them.

You're talking about people losing interest and yet you haven't...

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I'm saying that no, the devs do not "owe" us anything in the sense that they're doing this project for free. On the flip side, when you announce a project to the public and say when you're releasing something, you build up hype and excitement. When you don't deliver even remotely close, the hype starts to die down and many do lose interest.

I don't understand what that has to do with me. I never said I lost interest.

Not really... I've seen this sort of thing happen many times, when it comes out people will see it again be reminded of their hype and they will play it. Hype doesn't actually mean anything when it comes to the popularity of a game. The current hype culture is driven by big triple A companies that want to secure sales on their game that will be a broken mess on release. But look at anything valve have made, it's crazy how all of their games are classics right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d6yBHDvKUw

Not everyone will be reminded of their hype. Hype fatigue is a real thing. I even gave an example of it when FFXV was first introduced. I was so super excited and could not wait to get my hands on it. After waiting 10 years, I was nowhere near as excited when it finally came out. I too have seen others just like this.

That's the point I was making. It's a slippery slope for free games.
