Self-Entitlement
God, the entitlement is wild on F95Zone. I just had a guy announce his departure because Harvesting Corruption has optional mini-games. lol
These dudes download a free game they didn’t spend a single penny on, then act like they’re shareholders who got betrayed by the board of directors. It’s insane watching someone who paid zero dollars swing in like “Here’s my list of demands.” My guy, you didn’t fund the project. You didn’t buy early access. You didn’t tip the bartender. You walked into the bar, drank the water for free, stared at the TV, then complained the decor wasn’t tailored to your delicate little soul. It’s peak clown behavior. If you’re not paying for the meal, you don’t get to send the steak back. And yet they do… loudly… as if the world desperately needed their exit announcement. Come on.
Reporting Bugs is fine. Saying you wish the game had this or that is fine... Telling everyone you're leaving because of optional content? lol. Not so much.
I’m not that “smile politely and swallow every complaint because revenue might be affected” kind of developer. I’m not auditioning for Corporate Indie Mascot of the Year. I don’t have advertisers breathing down my neck or investors tightening my leash. Whether I’ve got one Patron or a thousand, I’m making the exact same unapologetic, filthy, chaotic game I want to make. I’m not here to bend the knee to every whiner who thinks tapping a download button entitles them to puppeteer my creative direction. I’m not the nice dev. I’m the dev who actually has a spine.
Most devs tiptoe around their audience like they’re handling live grenades. They’re terrified of upsetting someone, terrified of refunds, terrified of “community backlash.” Not me. I’m not a doormat with a Patreon logo printed on it. If someone wants to leave because a free game wasn’t designed with surgical precision around their personal preferences, cool. Door’s open. I’m building worlds for the people who like edge, humor, sex, danger, and personality… not for the ones who need their hand held and their ego coddled.
For the rest of you who have stuck around and enjoyed the process, let's keep rocking this shit.

Hold the line! Make sure your ducks are in a row and there's nothing they can report you for, once ppl figure out it's more than just a harem game they will try and get it banned.
My favorite is when people go into a thread with tags they don't like, just to shit talk the tags. Like, bro, why are you even here?
It's weird man
I agree 1000%. It's good there are still creators with a backbone to say no, instead of changing and undoing their vision and hard work for people who act like spoiled brats and want everything tailored to them.
This is why I say you shouldn't even engage with them at all. It's a waste of time and energy.
It’s ridiculous. The number of threads that get the “you don’t have this one specific kink I want so you’re game is shit” is insane. If you want to comment support the damn dev, even then realize you aren’t the only supporter and know your complaint may go nowhere.
I love taking idea's from people. Sometimes, they fit the story and I add them. Sometimes they don't, and I don't. I'm always open to idea's. I'm even open to people telling me why they think something isn't a good idea... But yea, telling me you're not going to play my game because it has this or that? Don't let the door hit you on the way out. lol.
That's just pretty standard daily behavior all over F95. I often wonder how those people survive in real life without getting punched in the face constantly.
Exactly my thoughts... I think we pushed the anti-bullying thing too hard in the 90's. Some people really need to be bullied a little bit.
