well the main reason he said he is stopping now is that the smaller update that he gave to patreons a few months back got uploaded when he wanted to do a proper release
(it took way longer for it to be here,when usually its on f95 in a few days for that one it took a few weeks)
i can understand that he wanted to do it himself properly but he already gave it away,so IMO no reason to go full stop now.
like you said "Once it is out, it’s out." and it was
do i want him to continue? Yes
but saying hes stopping because it got uploaded, when he wanted a proper release a later date. is just a lame excuse in my eyes
i would go as far as to say its gaslighting
still hoping he will start again later but i lost all faith in the dev his credibility (for a lot off reason still think it was super weird he deleted patreon, because he didn't want to risk identity theft?!,like i said before,they already have his info in the database deleting his page won't delete all that info,the company will keep his info on record for multiple reasons)
no currently i believe he wanted to stop developing so he could work 2 jobs and have stable income that way
there is nothing wrong whit that but all this weird dancing around the avn because off it
also i'd like to point out that: "asking someone NOT to do something will only make him more likely to actually do it" so giving people the latest update and asking them not to sure it publicly was just a ticking time-bomb that he gave others (you'd think someone who thought up a story about being a black-ops merc /spy would understand that( possibly it was just a pre-made plan to use it as excuse to stop development))
