Bro, seriously, ignore these people. You're not doing yourself any favors by paying attention to people like this.
You're just giving them more ammunition that they'll use to shit on you even more.
Until recently I worked at Crytek and was involved in the development of the engine and a number of games.
You can't imagine how much BS we had to deal with and how many people tried to badmouth our work.
If you let this crap get to you, it will eventually creep into your head and wear you down.

Keep up the work and stay stable.
Honesty and hard work shouldn't be shat on, but there are some things that simply don't add up. Ignoring it isn't exactly gonna help anyone. (Guess this ignorance is part of the reason why the gaming industry has been getting worse and worse over the past decade)

Example:
Our game is made in Blender, which gives it better quality but is slower. While in Daz, you only have to load resources and load poses. In Blender, you have to do a lot of things manually. More development time.
Hardly any dev (atleast the decent games out there) is done after "loading resources" and "loading poses". There's just as much work involved with DAZ than it is with Blender. Custom scenes, fitting clothes/meshes, custom facial expressions, custom lighting, custom characters, custom poses... He's saying it as if all you do in DAZ is "load asset X, render image, done". Couldn't be further from the truth. That is infact a terrible excuse for no reason.

^ Statements like that are often times why devs who release less frequent are being seen as shady. It's simply not a truthful statement.

As for the rest of the developers post, I'm not sitting behind him so I can hardly judge. Fact is, development has gotten much slower and there's less content in more time. That's all outsiders can see and it's not surprising that this is causing criticism. Anyway.. Best of luck to the dev.
