You had the potential for much more, though. Drama is the player's way to say, very loudly, that there is something wrong enough to cause drama. But developers only develop what is fun for them, because development is just another way to play Disco. Disco is being treated like a piece of art, crafted for its makers, not like a product, crafted for its consumers -- and art has much less consumers than products do. Thus, if the devs were paid, they would treat it like a product, and there would be less reasons for the consumers to drama about.
Unfortunately we can't pay devs, even with donations, as that would bring a whole new set of legal problems. We can't, right?
