Why should I allow you to post a shit review of my game (specifically my ability to program the game) while also giving you money in the process?

Unfortunately I have to disagree. I don't earn a cent with our Twitch channel and I don't have an advertising contract or anything like that. I just referred to the channel and the recorded liveshow, like others do with their gameplay videos in the comments. And of course I don't have a problem with it if you don't want it.

It has always been my goal to report on the games that I have been writing about or presenting online for many years as objectively as possible and at the same time according to my own feelings. And of course I referred to the original when I presented the preview, but I wasn't able to play it due to time constraints. Apart from that, nothing would have changed in my opinion that the game has fundamental playful weaknesses - on the contrary!

I also never said it was a bad game, see my first sentence. From a technical point of view it is even excellent. I only pointed out the weaknesses in the game from the point of view of someone who has never played the original with the assumption that it is a bug. And I'm of the opinion that casual gamers shouldn't simply be ignored either, such as those who travel in their thousands with their parents to games fairs like Gamescom - one of the most important in the world, by the way. That's why I mentioned the beginner-friendly mode, so that even someone who never played the original can get along with it and not lose interest in it so quickly, but apparently that was probably asking too much.

I was really looking forward to it and would have loved to have shown it on one of the larger events we attend each year. But as it is at the moment, it will probably cause too much frustration among the audience.

Do you see how that works?

It pisses me off that I have to give morons like you airtime. While I'm at it, if you're going to complain about the price of a game, be sure to have actually paid for it before you give your opinions. The point of the demo is for potential customers to see if they like the game and that it works on their system, it's not there for morons to give uninformed reviews, although painful as it is, that is something beyond my control. :banghead

Everyone has their own opinion! As long as you can deal with people who have different opinions, it's totally fine. However, my impression is different after such posts, because unlike you, I do not need to get too close to critics or even to insult them. And that is, among other things, what makes a review: expressing criticism without being insulting. And I've been doing really well with it for years. If you don't want your games or playable demos to be reviewed, then don't publish them. Where is the problem? There's no reason to get so upset about it, nor to be insulting.

Look at it from my point of view for potential customers who read things like "the game is unfinished", it won't make them buy it for sure, or look at your comments here sprawling the same untruths.

Take my insults as intended sir, you are an attention seeking moron. I have several private messages supporting my comments from members on the A1K.

It's a shame Amiga 37 has already gone because I'd quite happily give you my thoughts in person given the opportunity as I recall I was sitting in the same Greek restaurant as you on the Saturday evening before SetPatch.

Leave it at that, I have better things to do than waste my time on this utter fucking drivel of a conversation.

I didn't break the Community Rules from itch.io when writing my personal opinion on the game, that's what the review feature is for and I'm not the only one using it. It's also not my style to sugarcoat things that don't match the actual impression. Nevertheless, I will revise the text again and point out the weaknesses of the original. However, it wouldn't have changed my mind if we sat across from each other (and yes, I was in the restaurant and at the SetPatch party too). For me it's rather disappointing how some people react when you give your honest opinion. That's it from my side. I wish you success!
