They make 250k+ a year off patreon, wtf are you even talking about?
Whatever... Look, I don't really have the hobby to count a content of someone's pocket. Be it Runey or Elon or Johnny. And don't really care what someone does with his cash - places in that pocket, buys a doughnut, or burns on a candle; hence not deciding a best use instead.
And I think that closed the topic; if someone wants to "punish the dev" he could just suit yourself.

What's the worst that happens if you cancel your subscription?
OMG he went away and never gave us the update he promised a year ago. And it's all your fault for not subscribing.
WTF is wrong with you? If you pull into a gas station and ask to fill it up and the guys does nothing do you pay them?
Because if you do. I want to come work at your local gas station.
You are paying this person to do literally nothing.
At least Dark Cookie is pretending to work.
This guy is like. Oh stepped on a leaf and now my balls hurt. cough cough
Seriously people.
Yes you may be only paying $1 a month, multiply that times his subs

He's making at min 20.5k a month, more because there are $5 subs and higher

Wake the fuck up

at minimum he is making under 5K, after patreon takes their cut it would be even less. On patreon you can follow people for free, thats the 20K people. Why do people care so much how other people spend their money?

They don't. They're mad the update hasn't dropped yet. This same argument has been going on for literally months.

And besides, the .18 update has had BETA versions posted on Patreon. The most recent being in late December.

And when it's ready, the full version will be posted publicly for free. Like all the other updates have been.

But unfortunately, none of that matters to some people. They're going to keep whining until the update drops. This thread used to be really enjoyable to post/read in, but recently it's almost been as bad as a lot of other game threads on here.

On the patreon page it shows the most popular subscription, which is the $10 one. Even worst case where he has 1550 of each $1, $5, and $10 subscription, that puts him at $24800 a month (before cuts).

Graphtreon has him at 11-32k a month and ranked 270th of all of patreon.

And why does any of that matter?

People often say "hire help" but they don't think about what that help would actually be, or if that help would actually make anything faster.

A writer? No. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
A coder? This wouldn't speed anything up in a meaningful way.
An artist? Now you have to spend time managing another artist and trying to be consistent stylistically.

There is really no evidence that hiring more people or having a team makes devs any faster. If anything, it just adds more complexity and project management issues.

They care, because they have no life, and nothing better to do.
So they come to places like this and whine and complain about shit, hoping that their whining will force the issue.
It never does, but it does encourage people to add them to their ignore lists.

Let's face it, when people whine too much anywhere, about anything, how do people respond to them?
They ignore them, because no one likes whiners.

We care because some of us actually work for a living and we are against this modern culture of enabling devs to turn into con artists and not produce content reliably.

So many games started out great, until the devs got addicted to the Heroin of free money for little/no work. Everyone paying them to keep doing that = enabling.

I wouldn't care at all if they made millions every month, if it didn't correlate with them suddenly making 500 excuses and not producing content anymore.

Dude, just quit it. This thread was already purged two times by moderators because of off topic activities. You're going off topic.

Also, this game is abandoned. Totally confirmed. There, now that you have your validation, please go somewhere else to nag and spam all day.

We just want to talk about headpats and naughty elves in this thread.

Says the guy who's here basically every day to swallow and regurgitate the same three jokes with a half dozen other bozos?

Side note: I've been looking for an architect to build a glass house, and I simply have to know who designed yours ;)

ok, my bad then, hard to gauge whether people are joking based solely on text
Just pay attention to the fact what when the troll accounts have been active, there will almost always be a newbie account popping up to ask about updates, or abandoned, even though the question had just been addressed in the last couple of pages.

I used to respond to those posts with an answer, but anymore, if they want the answer, they can find it themselves by using the search feature.
Not going to waste my time answering questions from lazy people anymore.
