        What gives you that impression?

        What I see is that demos help games succeed, ergo investors’re happy. You’re suggesting that he was so resolute in his stance that he pitched it to them, knowing that he was trying to sell them on a high risk play to what, send a message? 🤓

          The question is, what gives you the impression that investors control the project? Unless proven, I don’t think your previous claim is true. I’m not in the position to provide evidence for not doing something, its the other way round.

              You made the claim. And I don’t believe you are right, unless you can prove it. I’m not the making the claim that investors control the demo to be cancelled. Do you have any prove for your claim?

                I made the claim that your hypothesis is irrational and lacking support, and followed up with why. Double down all you like. 🤷🏼‍♂️

                  You made the claim that their investors made the choice to take the demo away. I asked for evidence, which you still lack and talk like fluff only. I don’t believe your claim until you prove it.

                    That isn’t how hypotheses work at all, and to state that I made “a claim” is disingenuous at best. Of the two, yours is the less rational one. Not a judgment of your person, at least initially. 😑

                You’re the one making the claim the investors didn’t have a play in this. Shouldn’t the most obvious/common case be what we default to?

                  No no, you stated the investors made the decision. I say, I don’t believe it without evidence. Until then it didn’t happen.

                  Also BTW, isn’t this an indie company without investors at all? So I don’t know what you talking about. I do not believe investors cancelled the demo of the game. If you cannot prove it, then I don’t believe you.
