People played the game for years, for free, while Jorb and Loftar kept it alive out of pocket. The fact that you write off anyone who attempts to disagree with you as a 'shill' just shows you have no interest in having an actual discussion and have no interest in forming an accurate opinion.
And you think they would've gotten to this point without the free players? When I say they kept the game alive I don't mean the literal upkeep of the servers, I am talking about the community. Without the free players the ones who donated wouldn't have stuck around, and the game would be dead. This is a joint effort, devs and players are what make games like these great. It was through both sides that they got to this point in which the game could be monetized, which they completely fucked up.
I am not saying devs don't deserve anything, I love this game or else I wouldn't have stuck around for 4 years, but they completely went about this the wrong way. I call that guy a shill cause he paints the devs as infallible, as if they did nothing wrong and as if this situation is completely acceptable. It isn't and if you think otherwise then u are just another shill tbh.
Btw I don't give a shit if you think my opinion isn't "accurate", whatever the fuck that means lol.
