It's not hate toward the devs. People LOVE the game. We just hate being in the dark, especially since the "estimated" release date has come and gone.
I stan Starmaker 💯 however I have always been hyper cynical of the development process and the release schedule. I have suggested multiple times for a structured release process, lean mythology and development status updates. Though regardless, if the release is rushed, it will be a buggy mess and everyone will complain about that. It is always a double edge sword. Personally I would rather wait and get more content out of 1.9 & 2.0, cause when the game is gold that is it, no more....
