I dont speak on things I dont know about and tend to try to think and speak with logic and not emotions although at times it does get difficult lol.
I definitely dont think the owner is dumb but i much much prefer kai (IH founder) is far better be it as a dev or just overall human being.
I do test a lot of people devs indluded just to gauge interest in game and although i wont be so vested in the game because of all the reasons you guys mentioned and some of my personal observations I'll still play it just to see how he fixes all these issues (if he even does)
Id just say for anyone considering this game to not be too invested, be careful what you say or suggest as it could lead to being banned apparently lol (sawse a top player there getting banned was just crazy af as the guy was a supporter AND helped with balancing and identifying problems)
But lets be real... gamers mostly have ego problems (myself included) so I try to also view it from that side considering the dev in question. Im not saying this guy wont rug as I dont know enough about him. But tbh the amount he is making now cant be much especially in the U.S. like literally could work at mcdonalds and make more so to still be in chat and respond just isnt worth unless he is ai but highly doubtful haha
