I feel like this repeated promo stuff is too far way from this community called game development.

This doesn't show me any kind of development information. Not even a launch plan or considerations, or store page designing infos.

It's an ad. Nothing to do with game development beyond being developed by someone - which everything is.

I'm surprised this ad got so many upvotes for this community. It's in line with previous sightings though.

Yeah, there's a balance we have to manage with indie devs. On the one hand, they have nowhere else to advertise, and not a lot of money to do it. On the other hand, this is just getting annoying. Usually, a rule of thumb is you only post updates when there have been major updates to your games functionality. Some people just don't care and advertise in any way they can regardless of how annoying people think they are. The worst that happens usually is their post is removed. So, worth trying I guess from their perspective.
