I doubt that the backlash at Patreon would be so bad at first. Gumdrop and esp. Crushstation with his "updates" for prime examples show day for day, once you aquired enough "special" patrons, you can tell them the dumbest excuses and even blatant lies are swallowed by them with a "thank you, take more and longer from my money". It defies every sense of reason how a scammer like gumdrop still has hundreds of patrons while many really devoted Devs just get a better handout!So your saying 1 release a year? That's logical. And, im gonna assume the reasoning would be a "larger" update. That makes alot of sense. Helps him milk us longer.
But, for that to work, he will need to release another update in 2021, and the next big update 2022 aug/Sept time otherwise he'd be releasing in Feb 22 and in 2021 he would be a yearly cycle.
The backlash would be incredible though
L&P is many things, but not an idiot. He has already seen what tales he can tell his wankers. He is already behind his own schedule, but took time off to use the money made on patreon to give himself a longer dick or better ass or whatever beauty OP he had and his patrons did not question it in the slightest? At the latest at that moment he knew he had the suckers he needed.
