Most cases, I believe it's excuses that people come up with for laziness, just make something up that people would be hard pressed to argue with. It's a perfect excuse to string patreons along for as long as possible, and anyone that calls it out get shamed by the naive mob.Does anyone know the average life expectancy of a porn game Dev? Betweeen sickness, family troubles, and now inheritance issues, their time between developing a game and dying can't be very long. It's troubling.
I work, live, and function around a lot of people, and their lives seem fine (for the most part). Since I've been visiting this site, I've seen dozens of Devs fall to sickness and other serious family or personal issues.
Coincidence or curse?
This Dev shut off donations the moment he knew he couldn't continue, so his plight is very likely true. It's the Dev's that try to claim Covid or whatever excuse of the month to keep people from complaining too much about taking 6 months for an update that make my skin crawl.
