...Now were heading into the 9th month release time again...
Minor mistake there, it's the 10th month, not 9, the last proper update was Jun 9 2020,
exactly 10 months ago as per this comment.
Updates have always been the same way as they are currently.
Not always at the start we got a couple updates a year
There were
6 in the first year.
Then
2 the year after.
And then just the
1 in 2020.
Right now, the game is at just 2 months of going a full year
without a proper update, now that's de
moorelizing.
Its kind of interesting to see the constant request to set something 'abandoned' - that seems contra-productive to me when someone likes a product. Threads are not only to post updates but also as a area for exchange, questions etc. Asking to set something abandoned will just ensure that this kind of exchange dies out.
That's exactly their intention, to make sure the audience the game has, goes away along with or at least part of the funding for the game, the argument here is,
"since the dev is milking the patrons, the moment they start to go away, his earnings will start to diminish, prompting the dev to either at least release something or just let it die", after all, if the guy gets money for "doing nothing", there's no more incentive for him to actually work and be on schedule, the intention is more akin to a "wakeup call", and having the abandoned tag here can arguably lead to something like that since, supposedly, a lot of the audience and publicity comes from here.
Personally, I had no idea if something like this works or not, and I don't really care, but that's the reasoning behind the demand of the people who do.
