Oh that is such a DeJavu. One of YoYo's minions coming in for you.
Yeah, I was wrong about that one. Not only YoYoGames staff acted rude to customers in the past, but minions like you also do. You talk about logic but your logic and post is about defending the company without any arguments, instead of acknowledging that problems like the OP's problem exist and should be rectified immediately. This happened in the past so much it pains me. And it's always been related to publishing on MacOS or iOS.
"Minion" LOL!
Check my post history, I'm far from a "minion" and have been very critical of YYG in the past without them ever "coming after me" or being rude and arrogant, even when I pushed the boundaries with my own attitude at times.
If you read my full post you would have seen I wrote a paragraph to the OP pointing out that IAP not working for 6mths is a big problem and should have been fixed in that timescale. Obviously in your eagerness to type out another rant you missed it.
You come to the forum to be butchered by people like you, who defend corporations and their money, and even throw their money at them.
I didn't butcher you, I pointed out that you were being silly: ranting and making accusations that from my own experiences clearly aren't true.
As I said I've been very critical of YYG and various features (or missing features) of GMS2 and never once experienced anything like arrogance, rudeness or "being come after" - what does that even mean btw?
Look at the last update:
Release Notes: v2.1.3.273 - (13 Dec 2017)
Three months and nothing, and there are things that are broken and not working for people.
And yes, the resource tree is pretty retarded and it is not user friendly.
Yeah I agree it's been a long time and we are all in the same boat waiting for the next update, and the resource tree bug is very annoying and something which I wish would have been patched with a hotfix as it's quite integral to the usage of GMS2.
It isn't a "showstopper" though, you just have to remember to drag the items around and drop them in a certain way (on the bottom half of the destination item) so can be worked around in the meantime.
However - looking at the bigger picture shows that since the last update there has been a 2wk Xmas break, a Switch module announcement which would have been being worked on already, and staff are at GDC this week too - all of which eats into manpower, and that's before you mention any roadmap features, other bug fixes and QA.
Not saying I agree or am happy with the wait since the last update, but I'm reasonable enough to understand why it may be happening and that YYG have much smaller teams than Unity and Unreal and so can't be compared in any way in terms of release regularity.
Thanks for stalking my forum account by the way, to be able to throw in a couple of more rude and antagonizing sentences that will not help anyone.
It's not stalking when you've made 6 posts dude, it's literally 2 mouse clicks.
Woah, and you just compared the one time price for GM to the business models of Unity and Unreal Engine, which you can start using immediately and pretty much have access to everything they have to offer
I replied to you comparing the GMS2 model with Unity and Unreal.
The point is, you can just download Unity and Unreal and use them without any Trial Limitations. In case you are going to jump at me with "Then why you buy GM and why you don't go Unity". That's simple, we have a couple of project that need to be finished using GM.
Yeah you can, but as I pointed out if you make a successful game with Unity or Unreal you will end up paying far more than $800 in royalties.
It's different business models and you have your choice of which one suits your usage and better.
If you are just tinkering around to make games for you and your family / friends then it's probably best to get a $39 Creators Licence or a $99 Desktop Licence unless you have to to be on mobile can justify spending $400 on a Mobile Licence just for a hobby.
If you can't justify that cost for hobby and have to be on mobile then Unity or Unreal may be a better option for you to get things onto your devices without any up front costs or any risk of making anything that would put you near the thresholds for royalty payments to kick in.
You say I am ranting like an idiot and throwing insults, but what are you doing my friend? You are just blindly defending a corporation that does not care about you or the problems you might be having with their product. It just goes to show that no body wants to help anybody.
I'm pointing out that you are ranting like an idiot and throwing around accusations and generally coming across badly.
I'm not blindly defending them, as I said I've been and am critical of some things but being rude and insulting isn't the way to go about getting your problems looked at and resolved. Who would you listen to if you had to choose between the person asking normally and being polite and the one calling you names, shouting his head off and accusing you of things that he really has no idea about?
Yes, btw, I have a problem with the resource tree and I explained it. No body responded.
Nobody on the forum, or nobody from YYG?
The issue is quite well known so I assume it's already logged in Mantis and fixed or due to be fixed in the next update.
Seriously, what exactly is your goal with your rude post? You say I am moaning because I purchased something and it is not working. What should I do then ? Should I contact them so that they can say they don't have this problem in their office and they wont fix anything? Or should I just keep my mouth shut because that is what you and YoYo wants.
Pot, kettle, black.
Of course you should contact them - and why would I want you to keep your mouth shut, that doesn't even make sense LOL!
Any bugs you file that get fixed benefit me (and other users) and vice versa, but the way to go about getting things fixed and improved isn't by never reporting bugs, ranting about your issues on an unofficial forum and getting defensive when someone challenges your poor attitude.
YoYo's responses on criticizing have always been negative. They always always always jump at you without looking at the big picture, and what you did is exactly the same. You stalked my forum profile to be able to throw some rude comments that sound ridiculous.
Got any examples of YYG "jumping at you" or "coming after you"?
I would stalk your profile again to see how badly you've been treated but as I said you only have 6 posts so it's kinda hard.
I seriously hope you hit a wall and realize how defending this company is not the right thing to do, but they fixing the problem and providing monthly/weekly updates IS THE RIGHT THING.
I hit a wall early on with regards to Spine support.
Instead of ranting and calling them names I did my best to try get things improved by trying to get YYG and Esoteric talking to each other and in the end had to leave it in the hands of YYG to move forward with the information I had been able to add to the conversation we were having.
I was frustrated by the answers I got from them, but at no point were they rude, arrogant or any of the other things you describe despite me pushing the issue multiple times and them having every right to be annoyed by me.
I assume you want to keep using GMS2 and for it to be as good as it possibly can be, the same way we all do, and that your frustration is coming from a good place where you just wish the product was better than it currently is - that's where I was with Spine support.
But venting it in the way you are by name calling, accusing and bagging on the product isn't going to get you very far - that's all I'm saying.
Three months without any updates. Same old same old game maker.
Then I ask again, if you had this experience with GMS1 then why did you buy GMS2?
If I bought something that I thought was a pile of garbage, whether it be software, a car, a game - anything - I can guarantee you I wouldn't be buying V2 of the same product when they released it.
inside a lil game yoo.. ♩
