The usual stuff, even among people I like, an update with 10min of maximum content -> no more news for 5 months -> people start saying “well did he stop the game or not? “hey guys, I'm working like crazy on my games, stay subscribed to my patreon” -> release between 2 and 5 images to put out the fire -> 5 months go by and he releases 2 to 5 images “wow, he's not messing with us, he's really working hard, great respect to him what a king” this pattern repeats itself until 10min of content is released after one or two years, then it's back to square one.
There's a new option on patreon that allows the creator to sell a post/game directly rather than go through endless subscriptions. One wonders why creators don't use this direct system by finishing their entire game and then selling it all at once rather than milking you endlessly every month, really a mystery.
