you cannot reasonably expect people to want to play a game for which they have no visual reference of

I never expected anyone to play nor do I care if they do. it's free. I don't care whether you play a free game, I don't even know you. if you don't play that's your choice

especially considering the original commenter was not in the least bit rude

if the OP posted, "Hi there, could you post some screenshots so I can see what the game looks like?", I may have found the time. That's not what happened, they posted "Dude, post screenshots. Why should I care about your game?", as if I am supposed to care whether a randomer downloads an 8 year old game for free

If you want a favour from a stranger the bare minimum is being polite. I wouldn't even work for a paying client with that attitude. but you aren't a client, or even a customer - you're a commenter on my page asking me for free work on a free game, while insulting me. I embedded a video link and still someone complained along with sarcasm

if you want free work, you can find the screenshots and the download link on the internet archive. you're welcome to do so or not do so, makes no difference to me

Someone asked for screenshots and you acted like they personally came in to your house and insulted all of your family

All I said that is that it's not appropriate to make rude demands of someone you don't know, then I immediately gave them a link with the information they asked for. To me "Dude, do XYZ" is rude, and "Why should I care about your game?" is both rude and entitled. I didn't act like anyone insulted my family, I told someone straight up "your comment was rude and demanding, that's not appropriate" and then gave them what they wanted

The next reply saying "You know XYZ, right?" was clearly worded in a condescending way, and the one afterwards claiming I am "seething" for removing the link to avoid more requests that I have no intention of fulfilling was clearly meant to be incendiary. I've been civil and polite, and I haven't insulted anyone here, all I've done is taken down the public link because I don't want to attract an entitled audience that makes demands for free work on free games and isn't even polite about it

Ultimately, if you think any of the above is a polite way of conducting oneself, I don't want you to play my games. I won't be making further replies here because this has descended into silly squabbling, we aren't even talking about the game anymore, so why are we commenting on a game's page. makes no sense and it's a waste of everybody's time

its okay mr alex rose, i like ur game good
