I’m not sure what Phantasy Star Online is, but yes it is because he is releasing merch for his defunct app months after the fact while also being radio silence towards the Apollo community. Christian says he wants to move on, but I guess that doesn’t apply to money making ventures.
I’m also more critical on this because of his previous more greedy behavior, which I outlined in my main post as well.
This “criteria” was my original intent all along. English is not my first language so maybe i was not so clear. And is it really so wrong to reply to people that come up in my inbox?
I can see why he wouldn’t like the fact that it’s basically a one to one copy
I would also like to add on that this pop up was shown to all sideloaded Apollo users as well.
Yes, Reddit is all just user content, so I do not feel too bad for them, however it is true that Reddit’s free service in the form of their API made Christian potentially millions. However I do feel like there was a better compromise rather than what ended up happening.
It’s not inherently unethical to sell merch. It’s however apparent to me that this seems to be a cash grab. The app died months ago. This is further apparent to me when acknowledging the greediness Christian has shown before. It is unethical to try and use your already dead app to try and gain even more money by selling a low-effort plushie.
No “goalposts” were moved. I was perhaps not specific enough when I said app, which is why I clarified more.
There’s no reason to be passive aggressive about this. You make it sound like I dedicate my life to this, when all I did was make one post here, and outlined some of my concerns with some of the developers behavior.
That’s a game, not a (defunct) social media app
i only see this one
The “product” is an attempt to get people who feel sad to give him more money. What other app tries sells plushies of its logo?
I believe he does not like it
