8Dio pays their developers very little to begin with, so your money would be going almost entirely to Troels and co. The proposed price that Troels balked at as a completely unreasonable amount for an overhauled and public-releasable version of Adachi (which would have taken several months' more scripting and editing work in addition to what was already done on it) was less than 1/3rd of what I am paid elsewhere for projects of far lesser scope.For me it's rather about the fact that the producers of the libraries (probably often not Troels and or T.... don't remember the exact name haha) will be more affected by a boycott than the overlords.
Even if I have a problem with the boss of a company, I think they'd have to do much worse than what was mentioned here for me to also drag the works down.
Same with the Spitfire / Christian subject. Regardless of what ones stance is - the libraries tend to be produced by other people who have nothing to do with the situation.
So they'd be dragged down by a boycott much harder than the (most likely) filthy rich overlords.
The reason 8Dio's libraries have earned such a reputation for being half-baked and full of weird oversights is because they would rather do endless 90% off firesales to move copies out the door instead of actually investing in development. And that is not just my experience, but something that I was warned about by multiple other developers in the industry before I ever tried making a deal with them. I just foolishly thought "well, maybe it'll be different this time" and tried anyway.
