Re: I'm seriously concerned
@18 the general principle is that anyone is free to pursue life, liberty and happiness, so long as it doesn't conflict with someone Else's. In other words, a member of ISIS is not free to walk up to someone and cut their head off for not following their doctrine, no matter if it would grieve the terror group member to do so: it's against the law to kill, therefore you may not pursue that form of happiness. This principle is what the United States of America claims to be based on, I think we're getting better at it, but we are not the only ones: if schools in other countries are informing people they can be what they want, they presume that kid knows he/she can't go around bombing everything because well? you said I could do what I want and I have a sick mind...
As for the questions you posed: no, one [shouldn't] do any of those things. Unfortunately though, people do: and just as Iron Cross32 pointed out in his post, one can only ignore it: it�
39;s the trolls and those who hurt those they care about and who care about them that get hurt in the end, -- you cannot set off an avalanche and then expect to run bare foot to the bottom of the mountain without it catching up to you.
But when you pay for a good or service, you are automatically entitled to that good/service, and when you charge for a good/service, that becomes your job to maintain it. Just as one cannot leave their gourmet dishes out, uncovered all night and expect no complaining / consequences from very surprised customers who stop in for a quick bight the next day and spend the rest of the day ridding themselves of everything they'd eaten, you cannot walk away from or not deliver a game if you have someone's hard earned money going towards it. See, unjustified entitlement is like someone brought up earlier: you make your wife make you a sandwich, only to gripe at [her] for not doing it right, when you could've very well! Gotten up and made th
e bloody thing yourself. That's, a bully. That's, a troll. That's, a self entitled little brat. Not someone who gives a developer $15 for a product, wishes the developer well, offers to help in any way they can, only for the developer to treat them like dirt and on top of that, not even refund them! And then the icing on the cake, have fellow members tell them to shut up, be grateful and nice, or you'll make us all look bad. Sometimes yes, it is the complainer's fault here, and you're absolutely right, complaining does not resolve the issue. But if a developer has the right to take money, and then not deliver the product the money was put towards, and then tell us all we're ungrateful and rude, then as many people as want to have the right to vent their frustrations, it doesn't matter if it helps or not. Nothing we do will help, short of a legal battle of course, that's all up to Gyro. And I get the point of "be as constructive as po
ssible", I try to do so myself: I have learned that calling someone a stupid little retard or something similar, unlike complaining, does not tell them what the problem is. This is why I have refused to write a one liner on the edge of winter topic, or the swamp topic, and when I told people like Gyro I wouldn't be bothered if they left, I gave reasons both working up to it and beyond so they knew why. Because remember, even constructive criticism can be harsh sometimes: how do you build a structure without hammering nails in? If the wood crumbles from the hammering, it is not fit for the job.
