I think you misunderstand me.
You are both valuable and valid, Niven. I would never suggest otherwise. I follow you on itch, I follow you on youtube. You are (and I don't think this is an exaggeration) THE best person to follow in our little indie itch horror niche. Your output frequency and presence is vast and impressive.
I am not suggesting your experience of the game is wrong, nor that any other person's contradictory experience would invalidate yours.
The only thing I take issue to is your tone. This is a first time developer expressing themselves through the medium we all love and offering their results for us to try, for free.
They do not deserve the shouty-caps vitriol. I have seen you 1-star entire creator's game libraries in the space of a day when they say something you dislike, I don't think that kind of activity makes anybody look good.
feedback like "Your game is poorly made" and "Didn't you code it properly?" are so insanely removed from decent constructive criticism as to verge on toxicity and I stand by my words that that constitutes being 'rude and unnecessarily disrespectful'
When I say here "They do not deserve your time." I mean your words as expressed here not you as a person.
I was addressing this game's creator and not you, because it upset me to see a fledgling creator suffer your troubling feedback. I am not interested in hostility, as I feel none towards you.
You say:
"I've spent 6 years making games on this platform, helping numerous developers, participating in numerous events that support those developers and sharing the entire ocean of games on this platform and you say my time and my experience is not valuable nor valid?"
You are of course, right. your influence (as I stated above) is second to none and this community would be worse off without your constant commitment.
But that does not, and will never, excuse rudeness.

To UHD Pixels,
I am sorry this conversation is taking place in your comment section lol Itch does not give us ways to directly communicate with creators (That I know of).Please feel free to remove this back and forth from your comment section as it is wildly off-topic. Thanks again for the game, and sorry that this distraction happened on your turf!
