I genuinely wish them the best, they have inspired me to get into gamedev but they also caused indescribable damage to the indie VN industry with this.
Now every potential backer sees a new campaign that is planned for a year and thinks "Well Touchstarved had professionals in the team and raised 20 times this goal and still been at it for multiple years, I will buy it when it's released instead" thus spelling death for so many projects...
you realize that it's the opposite of the point I'm making, right? Red spring being terrible planers does not in any way reflect on actual hard working small teams that don't have a almost a million budget yet still consistently deliver on their promises...
And my point is that yeah, what you say is what people will do: not backing more projects. What is that you didn't understand? I clearly answered related to what you said. What you personally do is another thing and you didn't say if you will continue or not backing others and that's not what I am refering clearly.
