This is NOT a purchase. The product is free. You're bashing a dev that is providing a FREE PRODUCT because he hasn't finished it yet. But I'm the asshole. Right. You're out here demanding something you didn't even purchase, but I'm the asshole. ... do you even see what you're typing?

I'm not riling anyone; I'm defending the dev. Sorry if it bothers you that I'm not just letting you and your buddies attempt to destroy Komi's livelihood and credibility for taking his time. I don't give a shit that nobody asked me to-- I've said it before:

Y'all are like schoolyard bullies, beating on this dev because you think it will get you your freebie sooner. I'd stand against dispicable behavior like that any day of the week. The real question is this: what kind of person are you for condoning it?
