Sure, he's opinionated, but not in any offensive way. Personally I find it appealing when a podcast/radio host has a strong opinion, whether or not I agree with it.
- gks 15y agoOne show is one thing. I think you'll get a better picture after several. But hey, if you like it you like it. No harm in that. I was merely saying, maybe in a hyperbolic way, that his attitude rubs me the wrong way. It bothers me that such a high profile example of a "successful" indie developer can be so abrasive towards others on his podcast. Yes, the app is nice, the latest version is stellar looking. But this is one of those "speaking with my wallet" moments. Sad fact is I've already paid for the Pro version, but I won't be paying him again unless I see the attitude change. That's probably fine by him too. He doesn't strike me as the type of person to be bothered by someone voicing their opinion of him. Needless to say, you put yourself out there and become a "indie" developer heart-throb you get some of the good with the bad. That was his choice. He writes publicly, he speaks publicly on his podcast. It's the same thing with any other person in that type of position. As for podcasts, there's definitely better out there that I'd recommend way before his.
