Yeah, agreed. When the game was in its initial round of getting money I spent some money on it, knowing it was a bet. Since then the drama has unfolded and I'm just very interested in how it will unfold.

Since then I have not stopped spending money on some select early access, but simply from the perspective that I'll sponsor development and hope it goes somewhere. I'll even sometimes try and give feedback, although nowadays a lot is in discord.. and I refuse to yell into that void.

Back to the topic.... It's silly that a company like this still ends up in time crunch before an annual event they plan themselves.. and the shadiness of giving pto only after launch and if you are with the company. Hell then they should give pto then and equity now.. they are requiring their staff to invest in the company and offering 1:1 pto in compensation.. that's not compensation.. that's theft.. as time in the future is less valuable than time now.
