So excited for this game but definitely waiting a bit for things to get straightened out.

I went to school with a kid named Merlin Sunlight.

Did he say it noz-moh or noh-smoh?

I remember seeing this before and someone shopped the bone just a little ahead of him. 😆

Well that's the thing, doing that technique I mentioned takes no time whatsoever for me but DOES take time for them. It's a nice petty little revenge.

Take this with a grain of salt, but there is one example of answering scam calls that was really effective for me. I had been getting spoofed calls that looked like they were coming from my bank. The first one I actually answered and got some real people on the phone (thankfully realized it was a scam before saying anything bad).

Anyway, these guys were calling me several times a day. I finally decided to start answering every call and just setting my phone down on the table and letting it run. The calls are probably automated, but when you answer it transfers it to a real person. By picking it up every time I was wasting that real person's time. They stopped calling very fast after I started doing it and haven't called since.

As a fellow spare time dev who dreams of having that much success, I feel your pain, and also want to wish you a heartfelt congratulations. That's a massive achievement! I hope you have success with it whenever you launch. 👏

We all gotta start somewhere. No need to shame people for something many experience.

I really thought there was going to be a bezos hidden in there.

Oh I see. Sorry for the off-topic response then!

It's a shame that multiplayer games really struggle with paid models these days. It heavily cut into a player base if things aren't free to play. That kind of forces all but the biggest releases to turn to other monetization models in order to keep the base game free.
