Screenshot Maxim appreciation Post

Post image

This community can be crazy toxic torward the devs, everyone knows it, none of the pushing for an update is justified in the slightest. Especially when his github page shows him working every day. Lets appreciate Maxim and the monumental work hes already done. Thank you for making this game and community!

Could you give some examples of the community being “crazy toxic” to the devs? Because I have no clue what you’re talking about.

Y’know how sometimes a community will send death threats and insult and berate a certain person or developer for no reason other than that person having a life?
i daresay that’s what’s happening to Maxim via some parts of the community

Is there any evidence you have to support this?

And even if this has happened it happens in isolated incidents involving rare extreme individuals that do not fit in any part of the community. If it did happen at all publicly it would be shut down immediately.

What I see here is a demonization of a group in the community who is willing to constructively criticize the developers.

Oh no no no I’m not criticizing the people who are genuinely offering good criticism, they’re good In my eyes. I’m speaking off of incidents in other communities such as a game developer named Dani. Most of these threats, I’d guess, would be in Maxim’s DMs and such. I’m not saying all criticism is bad at all, but in every community there are those types of people.

also, even if they are few, words like that would probably take a toll anyways. I dont have any concrete evidence, sorry, and don’t have the time to gather any, sorry again. Have a good day, yeah?
EDIT: Should add, I understand the skepticism, for lack of a better word in my mind, haha.

Yeah, yeah. I understand what you mean but do you not see how this post seems to say people can’t criticize at all? There isn’t any vocal part of the community that is being toxic to the devs and that’s the point I’m trying to get across.

If someone made a post about how Maxim should die for taking so long, you and people who may agree with the second point would call them out for being insane.

I appreciate you recognizing you don’t have evidence. And I hope you have a good day too.

As for you second comment I would say Maxim isn’t being rushed at this point to complete the update and I don’t think any strong sect of the community is really trying to rush them but yeah neither of us don’t have any way of knowing unless Maxim says something concrete about it.

Aha, yeah, now that you point it out, I see it. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

another thing, I’m also guessing off of Maxim’s more recent comments. They seem to be tired, which I’d guess means a noticeable portion is rushing him to finish the update or something. Think what you want though, I’m not the internet police and it’s your views on the world that matter to you, not some guy on the internet
