Fed up with the bashing/hatred of Paralives a WIP Canadian Life-Sim game

I do not know if I can call this a relationship  because its about as much as relationship as a customer is to a cashier at a store.     I'm just am fed up with the constantly  bashing? hatred? for the game and its not even out yet. 

Background:

I'm keeping up to date with the Canadian Work in Progress Life-Simulation game called Paralives.  The indie team only has 10 people on it.  Paralives is still in early stages they-the team only got to work on work and school in October.  Not to mention that the other year (2021/2022) they had to back track on the "Character Creator" and remake it due to something they found.  And except for holidays they update for non-Paterons on Thursdays with some kind of photos or videos from the game.  It been in progress since 2019. 


Story

Almost every single time that Paralives releases either new video, or pictures that people will bash the game for not coming out yet  or claim its  a scam if not both.  Or "there's no live mod yet!"   I mean even when Athens, Rome, Barcelona, Paris, London, Mexico City, Rio,  Ottawa , Tokyo,  NYC, LA,  Seoul,  weren't built in a day neither can a life-sim be built in a day.      It just I'm sick of this hatred and bashing as well as the constantly being asked "when is the game coming out?!" about as many times as a cashier might have heard the "is it free?" joke when something doesn't scan.   

 Oh and I just want to add, that some of the folks saying Paralives is  a scam, were "so sure" that after Life By You and Inzoi (other Life-sim games in various stages of being made)-that the Paralives team would just stop making Paralives and walk away with over $28,000 (as of 2020) not sure how much it is now.    




Yeah i know for the second to last  last one that it might be the first time that person asks the question like it might be the first customer to tell that joke to a cashier who probably heard it about 30 times if not more that day.

And with the former with a game like Sims  or any 'big game"  we don't see any of the process that happens behind the scenes with making the game.  All we get is the finished or almost finished product in trailers so that stuff can take up to 10 or more years to make.  But with a indie game like Paralives they need to show the work in progress to attract potential Pateron to fund the game.

But I just wish the bashing/hatred/questions would stop because hearing them after like four five years is getting a bit tiring -let the game be cooked all the way through and the Devs will tells us when the table is set (ie: game is ready)

@Disneywoman thank you for sharing this with the community.

i honestly agree with you. it can get really frustrating and tiring constantly having people ask the same thing over and over again for years on end because the game is not out yet. :(

Yeah the basing or bullying is getting ridiculous.    And also if it was a scam the devs would have walked away long ago and not keep working on it.    And since the team is up to 11 or 12 people one being the community manger-  the more people you have in on a secert (aka a scam)- the more likely the scam will fail.    As Mark Twain said "two people can keep a secert if one of them is dead"  or how about Ben Franklin's similar remark "Three can keep a secert if 2  of them are dead",  or the old legendary Pirate chestnut: "Deadman Tell no tales"

Καταλαβαίνω την ενθουσιασμό σου για τα indie παιχνίδια και την παρακολούθηση της εξέλιξής τους, γιατί κι εγώ τελευταία ψάχνω τρόπους να περάσω ευχάριστα τον χρόνο μου και να χαλαρώσω με λίγη διασκέδαση. Τυχαία ανακάλυψα https://vegas-hero.gr και μου τράβηξε την προσοχή η ποικιλία των online καζίνο παιχνιδιών ειδικά για παίκτες από την Ελλάδα. Δοκίμασα τα φρουτάκια «Gonzo’s Quest» και στην αρχή είχα μερικές ήττες, αλλά μετά από λίγες περιστροφές ήρθε ένα μεγάλο κέρδος που με έκανε να νιώσω χαρά και ενθουσιασμό. Τώρα το χρησιμοποιώ για λίγη διασκέδαση και χαλάρωση, και το προτείνω σε όποιον θέλει μια ευχάριστη απόδραση από την καθημερινότητα.
