I was waiting for Sync, and just signed up for my Lemmy account today because of it and I can imagine that there are a decent amount of people doing the same. I have no idea as for the actual metrics, just based on seeing relevant posts.
As for the criticisms of the ad portion of the app, I'm happy to ensure a sustainable way the app/site can continue as long as it's clearly communicated and transparent. And I would imagine the dev would have an option for a one time payment to avoid ads, as per the original Sync.
Happy to be here :)
Xcom: Enemy Within, Long War mod. Firaxis made a masterpiece of a series with Xcom and Xcom 2, and I'm finally delving into the Long War mod made by Pavonis Interactive, and it just adds so much refinement to the game.
And I'm working on finally getting save scumming out of my system, once and for all lol. Its long past time I stopped being a scrub and got good.
