[2021] The Devs - Can we just take a moment?

Yes, I really appreciate that they’re doing this out of pure passion for the game and the community. It’s wonderful but a bit sad that it has to be like this. I hope it isn’t a huge burden for them and that they feel it’s worth it. It must be hard essentially playing god to a gaming community and dealing with everything that that entails.

You’re doing amazing work Devs!

No, don't thank him! It's his spare time and I want that to be for him, and I want him to be paid for his work. We shouldn't encourage this toxic work-life balance that he's currently a victim of. We should argue that the dev company as a whole should have better management in place to handle these issues and the workflows for fixing them.

Edit: It's the vigilante debate. I'd love to have Batman keeping my city safe; but if we need Batman to keep us safe, our city is f**ked already.

Edit2: I misunderstood. See below comment from the man himself --

Just to clear this up, I meant our spare time at work. So, between tasks and such. Not off-hours.

Further clarification: Although we don’t work on game updates outside of work hours, we DO spend our off hours as caped crusaders defending the city from evil. It’s actually the main reason Montreal has such a low crime rate. True story.
