I'm going to stop responding to reviews of my old games. While I do enjoy getting feedback, I'm not actually getting feedback any more. The reviews I get now tend to be either:
- People telling me about the scenes they made, often with a badly-written RP-style narration
- Complaining that an older version doesn't have a certain feature and giving it a disproportionately low score as a result
- Something along the lines of "BEST GAME EVAR 100/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
...none of which are helpful to me in any capacity. The second type in particular is just downright annoying and nonsensical, and winds me up every time I see it (why are you bitching about something MMSC2 doesn't have when MMSC5 is a thing? Fucking play MMSC5 instead!)
This is, I think, another reminder that I've outgrown my NG fanbase, if not this website as a whole. When I made the first MMSC I was a borderline-autistic 12-year-old, much like most MMSC players seem to be now. But now I'm almost 20, midway through university, and studying to become a professional developer. I've grown up. My fanbase here hasn't. Did I mention that one time a kid from here found me on Facebook and sent my sister death threats just before a major operation she had to undergo? Yeah, that happened.
I don't like to moan about my fans. I mean, you guys made me. Front page, Daily Top 5, ad revenue cheques: that was all you. I hope you'll continue to support me in the future, whatever I end up doing. But please...grow up.

Hey there. I'm not a fan, but I damn well do agree with you. To be honest, a lot of us just love to express our opinions, yet the serious problem with expressing opinions is when you got some that appeal to others at a very low level. You know what we call you? It's being human, and, by damn, people hate humans who are being humans. Feel free to be frustrated, mate, because you've clearly shown that you need to do this - right now.
