Look at what you all did!
Because you're worthless.
lol...that's probably the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've ever read.
A few things I can't say about butthurt devs but I will anyway:
1. Why is it always the shittiest devs with the shittiest games that do the most whining? Are they seriously that slow? You make shitty looking "retro" graphic games that STEAL the premise/gameplay/EVERYTHING from other older games and you really blame Steam or customers or old drivers for your failures?
2. You shouldn't be doing your own customer service. You should be contracting that out to a company who can do it cheaper. You should be happy 20 people email you with the same problem. It makes your job easier.
3. The internet isn't a mob of similarly minded people. Please stop making generalizations. You have a small number of trolls and an equal number of white knights and then you have a small number of concerned customers who get labelled trolls and whiteknighted because they dare voice a concern about a dev. And then you have the rest of the internet that doesn't even care.
4. Please stop making generalizations. I should repeat this one 10000000000000000000 times. Obviously some customers needlessly email you with issues they should fix, that said since I've been on CAG I can probably count on one handful the number of times I've heard people actually email the dev about an issue and only when they've searched google high and low and asked other players to help online. Customer service isn't the reason you are broke.
5. As much as I dislike Steam at times, goodness does it make the devs job so much easier. If I ever have an issue with a game I can solve I go to that games Steam forum and look or ask there. Most of the time the issue is addressed by someone or another player helps me out. Even when the dev steps in and provides a solution on the forums, it is there for me already and I don't have to bother the dev directly about it.
And like Lostnumber said, the feeling is mutual. As much as these shitty game devs seem tired of their non-existent customer base, I think a lot of us are tired of shitty games and the whiny devs that make them. We don't need you. The reason we only pay $1 for your game (or a lot less actually) is because it's not worth much more (if that). Make something original. Make something fun. Make something that stands out. People will buy it. In fact, there's plenty of indie devs doing this, making money, and not whining. If you want to make another shitty game with a generic, unoriginal premise and gameplay then you will be treated like what you are.
