God, i can not emphasis how much of a bad defense it is to say "it's only their first release", never EVER do that. I have been playing World of Warcraft for a few years and i have heard my fare share of "it's only the first release" whenever the new expansion comes out. That ALWAYS turns into it's only the first patch of the release, it's only the second patch of the release, it's only the first raid of the release, it's only the first implementation of a new mechanic, etc... and after dozens of different "it's only the first something" excuses we end up with what is a dying, broken game, whose developers are completely tone deaf to their playerbase.
I have always tried to give the benefit of the doubt whenever i can but that doesn't mean i am naive nor am i gonna let someone pull me by the nose. Lewdlab is a team of 4 people(so they say), they are an experienced team having made an entire game already and with a few standalone expansions, they have had more then enough time to organize a proper "first release" of their new game and it ended up being a mixed bag. If it wasn't for Milfy City 0.1 and Being a DIK which just released recently and incredibly quickly compared to when the last game ended as well as being a phenomenal 0.1 release(with just 1 guy working on the whole game IIRC) i wouldn't probably be as upset as i am with how things are going here right now.
Again this game has amazing potential, it can be one of the best if not the best in it's genre in due time, but i am not gonna fall into the trap of "it's only the first patch, it's only their second patch", etc... I've seen such excuses lead to bad things and i am not interested in seeing them again. Be fair but be critical, show empathy if a DEV has medical problems, family problems but also try to hold them to their word and have some sort of expectation and standards based on their previous work.
Again you can be a fanboy and a shill that always praises and makes excuses for the game, or you can be always the negative Nancy that always finds a way to complain about the game, or you can chose the best option which is to try to be objective and give people praise when they do something good but also be fair and critical when they don't. It's your choice, it's your money.
