Quote: "The biggest problem is that LP can't drag it on like this."
First of all, this is L&P's only game, and with the amount of support he is receiving, it looks like he is comfortable with where "he" is with the revenue. Second, "he" is the main person working on the game, with a couple of people helping "him", mainly through coding and script reading. "He" does not have a full-time staff on hand, as most of the game design he handles is around 85-90%. Also, "he" went from Full PDs > Half PDs > One-third PDs > Now, Event PDs, as long as he pretty much stays a one-person production team, it will only get longer. This is because "he" is not comfortable sharing his Daz assets with others, as "he" fears someone might take "his" assets and create their own game, which is possible. The shelf life for AWAM was supposed to be 3-4 years from 2018, but that is no longer the case. At the time, AWAM was considered popular, and "he" realized that he might be sitting on a gold mine.
As long as sycophants are willing to support "him," and "he" is comfortable with the revenue "he" is receiving, then yes, "he" can drag out this game for as long as "he" wants. So, if people are losing confidence, then they are going to have to speak with their pocketbook.
