It's definitely sorta spoiled the mood for me lately, for a lot of reasons I don't wanna get into, but I don't think I love the game any less now. I do think it sucks that I'm not really even excited to release, I'm more just annoyed by the existence of the official one and the impact it's had on the community, and that I just want ours out already and just done with.
Mentally, I sorta just stopped caring after I woke up one day and saw Spike Chunsoft launched a Double Pack trailer that used a term that I created for the C;C 2.0 patch, since they just googled it rather than perusing the game files or even just official footage. I just stopped caring.

The audience will become willing become blood sacrifices for the MAGES capitalist machine and will support this release because they either don't know about the quality, don't care about the quality, or plan on patching it regardless and will buy it through Steam because it's convenient. No matter what path, MAGES sees money out of it. People fighting tooth and nail for this port despite constantly barraging it with criticism just feels backwards to me, and I'll have no part of it. If you wanna respect the wishes of the head translator of the fan patch (me), you'll pirate this shit and never look back.
