Do you own this game?
At least he got famous. Kind of. Well, whatever. :D

well if the game sucks its sucks the only thing to do for a dev is to accept critics and work hard to fix the game and not repeat the same mistakes for the upcoming games

The other option (which he took) is to throw a tantrum and stop making games.

On the contrary, I think when people drop obnoxious, unprofessional notes/tantrums and then leave, it's a blessing in disguise. It's one thing to leave a strongly worded note directly only at overly offensive people, but it's another to call pretty much all participants and customers "shit". Think of it this way, if they did stick around and released more games, they would be timebombs just waiting to screw people out of their money.
Drama does happen, and I do believe that there is a limit to criticism / abuse that developers should be expected to tolerate before a little backlash is acceptable, but jumping off the deep end is never a good sign.

i love the drama this dev is doing because of the "community drama"
we are doing the dev a favour by telling him that the game is bad, he should have noticed this earlier...

Don't you not love how anybody can write whatever he wants in those wiki-thingies :P
So, hmm, does this mean you went grammar-Nuremberg on hustly?
Comment has been collapsed.
well, the thing remains that this wiki article got written long before this conversation, not to mention the word itself is present at urban dictionary as well and is a trending hashtag on both twitter and instagram ;) We live in the internet age and thus new words, if popular enough, can go into mainstream language quite sooner than they used to ;) And pulling grammar nazi on something that is commonly used is just not a way to go ;) after all we're just an internet community about video games (where gamers use a lot of new-words), not a purist-language-society ;p
oh and love grammar-Nuremberg comment, how did I not think about it myself? ;p

The developer of DarkBase 01 has outgrown you, Steam.
Edit: The announcement seems to be gone as well but it basicly read you guys are big, bad meanies.

"I've made the decision to start shutting down my game, DarkBase 01. Throughout the 2 years of this ordeal. I've learned one important thing - the gaming community has allot of growing up to do if they are ever to be taken seriously by the rest of the world. I've never witnessed such a vile and childish community of people - and if that's the way that they want to be - then so be it.
I'm in my 40's and I simply have no time for childish behaviour - so I'm putting the gaming community behind me - and frankly, it's getting boring. All I see now is drama and more drama - like a bloddy soap opera. I'm back in the graphic design community - where more mature people reside - and this is where I'll stay from here onward."

yeah, and when you click the 'contact' tab he has this: http://solarstormstudio.com/inner-circle.html
I've never seen such a level of butthurt by a dev before.

Checked the artwork on that page. A lot of it is bad copies of other people's artwork. A few of them are notable ripoffs of EvE Online posters with crappy 3D assets replacing the objects.

Was it a Unity Asset flip game?
If so, thank god the game was taken down

When a developer puts his hard work into a game to only get negativity towards it in painfull forms, its a shame that people have to be this way, and those who reacted in "unneeded" harmfull ways should be ashamed of themselfs. (and no it's not normal criticism anymore)
Sadly this doesn't justify the reaction of the developer either.
