Well, for those of us who are paying patrons for some of these games, it's pretty self regulating. Like any service/subscription type of things. If you don't deliver what the supporters want, the supporters quit paying. Just that simple. No one keeps paying if they don't feel like they aren't getting their money's worth. Same way Dish and DirectV are losing millions of subscriber and other services are adding millions. I stopped supporting Milfy City and let the developer know why. I had no faith in him, he didn't seem to have any passion or belief in his game, and after no updates at all he started a new game in hopes of getting new money. I do believe in L&P and have had long exchanges with him, and his game is different enough I keep supporting. Not at a high level. I've made it clear my level of support will go up when he learns to put more product out at a faster pace. He's trying some things to do that.
As for the graphics, they're fine for me. I'm here for the story for this one. Interestingly, one popular game (that I support), Midlife Crisis has much worse graphics that AWAM but my wife and I enjoy that one also. In fact that developer even puts some in game jokes in on screens where he's struggled with the graphics.
