I feel this needs to be said.
Time and time again I will read through WIP and Release threads. Amazed to what this person/team have been working very hard on, typically over a long period of time. Thinking wow, These guys are really dedicating a lot of time and effort for us. We are the end users of these creations. We will be the one's playing this map over and over, recording video footage, streaming on twitch, curing everyday boredom etc.
Yet on almost every page of the thread there is someone complaining. "It's to hard, Will this ever be released, You should have done it this way, This wip is taking forever, Do it like this, Add this it will be easy" etc.
The people who create these things, do it for us in a sense. This is only a hobby for them. A hobby that the only satisfaction they get is positive feedback from the community, and watching others enjoy their work. These people do not get paid for what they do. Most importantly they are real people with real lives, families, jobs, school, careers, young children. And yet they take their free time and work very hard for what we get to enjoy in the end.
So I ask you all, act appreciative, say thank you. Let these people know that their hard work and effort was worth the time they invested for us. Before we lose another great due to impatient, unappreciative, derogatory comments that some of us (end users) might leave.
