I'm not blaming "you" or anyone. I'm just reacting to the latest posts here saying they miss the game and thought it was great, but the only reviews that were ever written were like 99% negative. Idk how you can spin my sentiment to show support for the games you like into something negative, but maybe you just misunderstood. Just speaking generally about what devs see, and that their perception of how something is received can play a very big role in motivation to continue.
Could be that this particular dev would have been lazy and abandoned the game no matter what, who knows. But speaking generally, this kinda thing happens often. Only the critical people leave reviews > dev gets demotivated > then
after, people are like "damn... sucks it was abandoned". So... support the games while they're around, not after it's too late
