Your unnecessarily making yourself look stupid, extremely entitled and holier-than-thou. What's new? God man I really think you should, a try and get your priorities straight or b, address your concerns in a manner that doesn't sound like a five-year-old kicking and screaming after mommy denied you dessert. I know I'm not the only one to have noticed this as a recurring issue with you, all one needs is a look over your profile to prove my point.
So dodging your extremely patronizing attitude, this is not "pay to play". How much are you paying to open up that menu and start a game? Nothing is stopping you, financial or otherwise, from enjoying the game. If you happen to like it, or believe the developer did a decent job, you can show your appreciation by way of microtransactions. These are meant as nothing more than an additional source of income, a pat on the back as it were. As a little thanks, you get two, optional, features. A scoreboard and access to cheat codes. If paying for cheat codes is the only way your able to play, you might be doing something wrong. If you absolutely require a scoreboard well I honestly dunno what to tell ya aside from, ya don't.

What the hell is this even suppose to mean? I've read over this topic and I'm drawing a blank. Please show where, precisely, Ivan does what you accuse in any way shape or form. Right now I'm passing this one off as irritation or a wish to have the extra features. Ivan has remained calm and professional here, and you slinging baseless accusatory blame does little more to deter us from seeing your greater point whatever that might be.

Oh cry me a frickin river. I'm so sorry you can't freely obtain optional thank you features that are really nothing more than that. What's the point of playing free? You get to wait for it, play, play the game. Mind boggling concept. This, folks, is what entitlement looks like.

Huh? You can't post to a scoreboard, you can't unlock cheat codes. You can play. That should be preview enough. The ability to post to a scoreboard and use cheats to change certain values isn't rocket science. How much extra explaining does that demand?
I agree, the payment situation is less than desirable, but such is the way of unforeseen anomalies in the development process. He's been relatively apologetic so far, and unless I'm mistaken others have gotten the ability to play freely at this point.
