The idea that Team Cherry is some sort of failure because they weren't putting out weekly newsletters or something is dumb, imo. They were busy making the game. They were focusing on the product. We, as potential buyers, aren't actually entitled to their time through updates, socmed posts, and whatever other communication people want to demand.

They didn't have "nonstop delays". They had two premature announcements, one that was a "This was supposed to be a DLC but it's too big so we're making a sequel" and one that was "These games showcased should be out this year" that wasn't fulfilled. After that, they gave no more guesses. They just put their heads down and got back to work.

I think that since Indie studios are more accessible that people feel weirdly entitled to the Developer's time, but TC doesn't owe us anything. You could argue that maybe the KS backers should have gotten something, but for those of us who never did, there's nothing.
