the site relaunched YESTERDAY, they have a small team (considering the amount of people accessing the site) and they must prioritize some things.

Was the site rushed? Of course but you gotta use your brains people. Obviously they will not spend a bunch of money on the old games unless they were sure the people would stay on gsm.
Obviously a site that is years old will need catching up. Everything is not going to work at the start. They needed to upload the site fast to keep the hype.

It's been what, 24h and people already freak out? If you did not pay money (aka a freeloader) and complaining, that's just embarrassing.
I actually did pay for the product, so I'm now telling you to shut up and be reasonable.

80K EURO is enough to do the bare minimum of research into HTTPS. It takes less than 10 minutes to set shit like that up and 80K EURO should be more than enough to get the server space to actually keep the website running. People will see this a bad experience and won't go back because of lack of professionalism, which in turn makes them lose money down the line, because the product isn't up to standards.

They should also use their brains and realize that one game, which gives 1, 2 or 3 gM depending on what word you choose is way too little on a website that has to thrive on the economy of pixel clothing and threads. They should know the pixel clothing is their selling point compared to other social forums you can find like Reddit or similar. Why should I choose gosupermodel to be my place to discuss hobbies, when reddit has an active community of thousands with the same passion as me? Because I like pixel clothing, and if I can't gain access to that shit on gSm due to their shitty managing, then they also have direct competitors in VP and ES, both of which actually works and aren't nostalgia baiting.

80k probably sounds like a lot if you don't know what you're talking about but just the hosting alone gets expensive considreding there were at least 5k users online and over 40k models created. Then we have all the employees actually working there, so on and so on.

But you KNEW the old games wouldn't be there at the launch. You knew, still you made an account? What are you complaining about?
It's common practice for a lot of hyped website to get extra, albeit expensive, server space for the first month or first few weeks and then downgrading afterwards, to keep the website running when they expect extra traffic. 
The company has existed for 10+ years. If they're as financially stable as people say, then it shouldn't be a problem to pay their employees their salary. Also the fundraising got 2x the needed amount, so it's not a lot to expect more from them, also because they're literally professionals.

Ye. And I accepted that, but playing sketzmo is not rewarding in any way when grinding for 3 hours doesn't even give you enough gM to buy a t-shirt lmao. Not even when cheating, so they should absolutely account for "hey a t-shirt costs 125 gM but people can earn a maximum of 3 gM per sketzmo round" and up the prizes won.

plus they inflated the prices on items lol, some of the hairs used to bee like 30 gM and they were 300 now so i applaud how considerate they are while i contemplate whether i try to draw an eyelash curler or write it instead because i'm not drawing that

Us: Wanting to give gSm a chance after using VP regularly for quite some time before the announcement

You: Couldn't get access to the one site you wanted to be on, so instead of being an adult and do something productive while waiting you join another community to defend a website you've used for less than 24 hours.

But people getting their panties in a twist for just a few hours (since it was open almost the entire day yesterday) is just crazy to me. Just calm down
I think it's reasonable to be mad that you don't get the product you paid for. The site has worked properly for everyone for like zero minutes. The 20k created models was easily expected – they did get 80k crowd funding in a few weeks which is quite clear indicator that many people are interested. There was no need to launch a site this insecure this early. 
That is fair and that's what they're working on.

Again, 80k is not a lot at all for what they're doing.

honestly this yeah, they should have expected massive traffic the first week or so, they clearly underestimated
