You just enjoy being the center of attention. You don't actually want to make games. Every time you work on a game, you post a blog about it, acting as if you're something great. But now we have games in China — Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, and Honkai Impact 3rd — any one of those games is far better than your absolutely terrible excuse of a game. You haven't made anything in over a decade, only posting a blog once every few months.

Look at your pathetic new game Stranded 3— it's been 10 years and still no output. Why? Because you simply can't make it. You're just making your own piece of "art," and that piece of art doesn't even run. Or maybe you just don't want to give it to us for free or even for payment. We are your followers — we've been following you for so many years, and to this day you haven't produced a single thing.

Listen, you’re acting like someone owes you something. This is a hobby project by a single person who never promised you scheduled releases, and certainly never took any money from you.
Comparing a solo indie developer to multi-million dollar studios is just ridiculous. It’s like criticizing a street artist for not painting like a corporation with thousands of employees.
No one is forcing you to be here. If you don’t like it — don’t follow, don’t read the blog, don’t wait for updates. But showing up just to throw insults at someone for spending their free time doing what they enjoy says more about you than it does about them.
People are here because they’re interested. You, apparently, are here just to complain. So maybe start with yourself and try creating something comparable before handing out judgments like that.

Why do you think so? How can you know? I actually hate being the center of attention. Also why would I make games if I actually don't want to? There are far easier ways to get attention.

It depends on personal preference. But of course those games have far more content and higher quality in general because they are developed by hundreds (if not thousands; yes those Chinese studios are huge af) of people full time over a long period of time.

That's not true. I did a lot but I released nothing. And I'm not happy about this either. I think I could do better. But turns out working full time in the games industry doesn't make it easier to also work on games in your spare time.

I'm not sure if I can make it. But at least I'm trying - and that's the spirit.
