The original comment was the guy saying he needs a publisher or someone to give him deadlines in order to get the game out in a timely fashion. That doesn’t sound like “I don’t give a shit about the game” to me. Even if it was just an observation, if the comment was intended to allude to his mental issues, it’s still not a publisher that he needs.
I don’t disagree. However using fake misattributed quotes is not the way to prove your point. I don’t know the history of the publisher. I am only passingly familiar with the game, more because of its success as a small indie.
However, the person saying they need a publisher seems to have read a book on it and has more information…perhaps they do need a mental health professional from a personal point of view. Perhaps they need a publisher from a professional point of view. Work life balance helps our mental health either way, whether they seek professional help or not.
No, I’m pointing out how he keeps moving goalposts and is making an argument in bad faith, for reasons that are selfish. When that is pointed out, he tries to act like he doesn’t give a shit.
He’s being a jerk because he doesn’t get to play a game he wants released, and his answer is to slap on some authority.
Who cares if the game is NEVER released? I don’t. He’s made his mark. He can take all the time he needs/wants.
Videogames bring on the most demanding and impatient fans you can find. If he can’t handle pushback (which he can’t, because now he’s expecting apologies for the sin of disagreeing with him), then he isn’t the voice of reason here.
I’m not misrepresented anything by pointing out the splitting of hairs.
Why do I care if you think I’m a jerk? You hopped in on a conversation and didn’t add a single thing to it. You just showed up to point out what you think is a character flaw and not comment on the actual subject.
Your responses truly highlight your ignorance of his “process”. Seriously, read ONE chapter of that ONE book and then you’ll be back here to apologize.
He wants to release his next game, but he has no clue how to get to the finish line on his own because he avoids structure when it starts to require personal accountability. Were it not for personal financial pressure (and the pressure he was putting on his partner), the first game would have never released. Now he doesn’t have that pressure.
“I give zero shits about his next game”
“If he keeps this up I’ll never get to play his next game!”
Dude shut up. You aren’t fooling anyone. Concerned Ape can make his stuff however the hell he wants.
Misquoting someone is disingenuous. Not only are you removing the context, but you are changing the meaning.

He literally said “I give zero shits about his next game”

Misrepresenting their comments doesn’t help your case.
As an outside observer, you’re both being jerks, and you both have a point.

You aren’t impressing anyone. Off with ya

For someone who doesn’t give a shit, you certainly have gone through a lot of trouble to know everything you can about this man.
I’m not gonna apologize to someone who can’t even keep their own narrative consistent.
