Had yet another thought about Yandere Simulator's trolls.
One of people's complaints is the game's development time. Let me say this.
YandereDev has been very public about the game since he first conceived it six years ago. That is highly unusual for anyone to do. There are probably people who've spent years making a game, and all we know is when it came out.
Also, I think it's grossly unfair to make comparisons between YandereDev and Scott Cawthon. Scott is on the other end of the unusual occurrence spectrum. He made three games in one year.
A final thing to the people saying we won't get another rival for six years. YandereDev made a video explaining why the game won't take him four decades to complete. Educate yourselves.
Scott actually made four Five Nights at Freddy’s games in one year, setting a new world record. The fact that his games were so simple and easy to make meant a lot of people who had never made games before were able to make fan games. Now that Scott’s a millionaire, he’s doing a thing where he’s actually paying people to make fan games. And of course, people are now taking this opportunity to use it against YandereDev. “Scott pays people to make fan games while YandereDev shuts them down!”
Fun fact: YandereDev has never shut down a fan game, but Scott Cawthon has. For example, “Another FNaF Fangame: Open Source” advertised itself as being better than Five Nights at Freddy’s. So, Scott did what just about any game developer would do: he shut it down. He’s done this to many fan games—particularly ones that try to “remake” Five Nights at Freddy’s “but better.” It makes perfect sense to want to defend your property.
I really wish Scott Cawthon would defend YandereDev. It’s likely he doesn’t know how many of his fans are using him as a weapon to destroy YandereDev’s life and career. Otherwise, I imagine he’d try to put a stop to it. He’s a good guy.

He’s investing his money into these fan franchises, because unlike YandereDev, he cares about them.

*Looks at Watashi no Mono and Love Letter* He tried.
Comparing the FNAF:OS incident to what is happening with Yandere Simulator is not fair. The reason why FNAF:OS got taken down, is because the creator remade Five Nights At Freddy’s and put it out for free. He literally took Scott’s licensed product, along with copyrighted characters, and made a free game out of this. This was not a fangame, but a remake.
If your analogy for this is “People try to remake Yandere Simulator!”, then that might be the case, but “Yandere Simulator remakes” had to (or at least attempt to) make their own characters. They are putting their own spin on the YandereDev’s concept. They’re not using YandereDev’s (non)copyrighted characters in their games, unlike what FNAF:OS was doing. Also, does YandereDev have a legal documentation stating that he has right to “Ayano Aishi”, “Taro Yamada”, “Osana Najimi”, etc.? We haven’t seen it, so we just have to say that YandereDev has no brand to defend.
Also, do you want to know what the FNAF:OS creator is doing? If you followed the news, you probably know that Phisnom, the creator of FNAF:OS, got recruited to work on FNAF 1 remake. Scott personally announced this on Reddit, alongside announcing a collab with fangame FNAF developers.

1. What reason he has to defend YandereDev? YandereDev is opposite to Scott Cawthon, so why should he bother? He has a movie, upcoming games and stories he works on, while having a family he takes care of, for crying out loud!
2. You are aware that people also compare YandereDev to Toby Fox, right? Should he come out and defend someone he doesn’t want to be involved with? Scott doesn’t care about drama that doesn’t involve him. Yandere Simulator isn’t concerning him. Besides, neither Scott or Toby have control over that. The “He’s just another indie developer and FNAF fans use him to shit on YandereDev!” isn’t valid.
Overall, Cleaveland is extremely biased throughout everything he wrote. It seems like he just WANTS to have Scott involved in drama he (Scott) doesn’t care about.
It’s not like he works on upcoming games, helps with movie production, possibly writes another book and helps to get a fangame to get official console release. He should have some free time to indulge in drama that doesn’t involve him in a slightest! /s
That calls for a quote!
“I have no clue what would ever make Cleaveland say something so stupid” - YandereDev, 2020
I’m so glad this quote exists from the man himself.
