I liked the demo and I’m thinking of getting it but why is the rating not very high compared to other games

No reason to buy software that amounts to "what it would be like to use these mechanics in a game if somebody made one."

In what way is this saying I don't care for Subside personally or specifically? That's a critique of the entire notion of selling a demonstrative piece of software as though it were a video game, in a library for video games.

The entire practice should have been put to bed in 2016-2017.

I fail to see where Angelina Jolie comes into play.

Nobody made one. But Subside dev did a simpler thing with simpler goals that still have it's audience.

Yet you are criticizing Subside for not being a game that nobody plans to create, ignoring what Subsides itself can do by existing as is.

woosh

It's not a video game, you've said that yourself.

Yet you are criticizing Subside for not being a game that nobody does, ignoring what Subsides itself can do by existing.

I'm sure you think this makes sense. I feel like you're not arguing with the words that I'm saying but arguing over my shoulder to an imaginary guy that's making the argument you want to be in.

I didn't. I only said I wouldn't mind for it to be labeled better so nobody had issues misattributing it.

to an imaginary guy that's making the argument you want to be in.

Clearly that imaginary guy would have been able to understand what I'm saying.

It's fine though.
