Exposing a Con-Artist Dev + Company

David Prassel is a total dick. He's tried some really sly tactics with myself. I posted a response to a steam user who was asking someone to sell him on the game and he said himself that the store page was misleading. In 2 sentences total I agreed with the misleading. The rest of the two lengthy paragraphs was factual and had a positive outlook on the game.

You really need to cater your message to your audience and considering I just read one of the longest, dumbest rants in another thread from you about a "misleading" store page I can't bother to fully read whatever is above.

The only people that have issues with the store page or this trailer are ones with reading comprehension issues. This is an early access game, one of the largest. People want a rough idea of what is coming and what we are committed to and what they can expect from their purchase.

It doesn't matter/I don't care how you perceive it considering the end result is your game getting massively updated. And yes they are multiple games in one, that's always been the plan for TOP, a project design that dates back to likely before you were even born.

This is David's response. He somehow interpreted "The store page is very misleading" as "one of the longest, dumbest rants." When I pointed out that his statement was flat out wrong, he mentioned how the post was edited. The only thing edited was what came after the word "edit", and did not change anything else in the post leaving the edit completely irrelevant. He eventually started just pulling straws trying to find holes in my story but he couldn't.

He ended up saying:

Again, I am confident you can get your point across in 20,000 characters or less.

The most important thing you need to know is that I don't do what I do for money. Most game makers of course DO it for the money and don't care about annoying or toxic players as they don't even play their games and just want to keep printing that mint.

I do what I do for the EXPERIENCE. This is why you see progress moving so fast instead of idling like some other space games. More importantly, some people's $1 just can't cover the bark that is rolling out of their mouths - or I simply don't want to see them when I login.

Lucky for you we don't do game bans, only community-based bans as I believe opinions sometimes need to be earned.

You're getting a temporary ban here until you can better learn to space and condense those rants but most importantly to do so without cussing.

The only reason I mentioned at all anything about him doing it for money (i didn't actually claim he did it for money) was because of this statement he made on someones review:

There are issues and bug reports I take seriously, but considering you're the only one or one of few that has any issues you describe, it's not worth my time (or money) especially with how you present yourself.

All I did was quote something he said and said if we're not worth your time or money, stop replying to us. If you're going to reply to us just to tell us we're not worth your time or money and be an asshole, don't reply at all. Somehow that was interpreted as me saying he just does it for the money. As a last resort, as I see it, he banned me "for cussing." I can see that being a valid reason, but it seems the only reason he actually had is so he could take the easy way out.

None of this even comes close to your case, though. Dragging in the police? Over someone pointing out that you're a dick? Is there a way to be a bigger dick? He even went as far as bringing the rest of OP's family into this as if they're somehow connected or deserve this. That's so unnecessary and honestly kind of scary. He's a self righteous liar and something really needs to be done about this.
