Lets not forget that he started a new game about 12 months ago. So some may have started following that game. Also since the new game his releases that you could set your clock too have become less consistent. The last 12 months have been the least productive since I have followed the game. Not only that but the quantity of renders and events in each update has been less than before the new game launched.
I think that's the point too. DM has spread his forces on the second project but ended up miscalculating his forces and as a consequence (less content on each FB update) lost some of the patrons. Note that the decrease in the number of patrons did not start after 24 February 2022, but much earlier.
The peak on the chart, after which the decline began, is the approximate launch date of MILFs of Sunville. Whether this is a coincidence or a pattern is up to you to decide. But personally I don't have much faith in a "magical spillover" of FB patrons to patrons of the alien MoS. They are too different games (FB hardcore and MoF vanilla) and too different audiences.
Perhaps the fact that globally the game's storyline froze in place also played a role. A huge number of storylines and as a result - an attempt to fill each one with content, but all in all this translates into a very slow progression of the game's global storyline.
And again we come to what we've already discussed. In my opinion, for the foreseeable future, DM should reduce the number of current FB storylines by completing them and heavily pushing the main story of the game, do some episode 3 endings, and then start episode 4, which will fundamentally change everything that happens in the game. You know I'm in favour
of your version of developments but there could be a few of those, but not as many as there are now.
Of course, you could continue doing things as before, releasing 4-5 (let's say) events for each route in each update. In that case, the game could be extended for another 5-10 years, but whether or not the current patrons would take it well, I can't say. Personally, I'd like to see the finale of Monica's adventures sooner than 5 years from now.
