I never mentioned balance with their lives, I said they don't have deadlines. Others (the companies) often have to get things done in a certain amount of time or games are put out unfinished.

Not a problem the FO developers have, since there is no set date.

i doubt donations cover their costs

about deadlines, even though they dont have deadlines they make patches regularly, including plenty of content. i mean look at the latest patch, it made the graphics way better and added ships

It's also a different sort of 'deadline' - we've grown to expect quick patches and content that we've requested: if the devsdon't accomplish this then players leave. It's not a set deadline like a company might make in order to generate a profit, but there are quite some reasons why we do not have extraordinarily long waits between versions anymore (like 3.0PR --> 3.0final). So there is still the issue of time constraints and when stuff needs to be finished, it's just not based on a funding aspect.

Ironic that you'd mention unfinished games :blush:

Two words for you.

Soulstorm Hotfix.

But even without such horrible examples, I'd have the utmost respect for the FO dev's skills and commitment. I'd send them thank-you kittens, but I just can't part with the cute little things.
