All the hypothesis you make seem plausible to me, I'd add that maybe he might have found a writer with animation/modelling skills too that will help on that too (to explain the PC).
The other part that also need some work is the update system, it can require some programming work to deal with connections, checksum and so on to have a smooth updating system (provided that there are not already off-the-shelf solutions). Not something so exciting to justify the waiting but it is nevertheless a part that needs to be done. But for sure nobody needs a rig like that to do this task.
In the case he hired someone (whatever the job is), buying a new PC is another "strange" choice: is she/he working physically together with him? That would mean he found someone in his city or not so far from his place that can easily commute, I don't think that someone will move from another region/country/continent for this kind of project. Minor detail, but let's not to forget this little covid problem with possible new lockdown/restrictions ahead that may prevent displacements.
Or maybe he is assembling the pc to be an exact replica of his and then ship it to her/him?
We know that he is obsessively secretive about his assets, the story and the way he works. Having someone physically working with him might reassure him, even if that does not prevent possible leaks etc.
The other (crazy) possibility is that he will force the new hire to work remotely on his new machine, so that everything stays under his control in terms of security. Needless to say, it won't be the case, because files can be "extracted" anyway and he will be more distracted controlling what's happening than working on his part of the project. And, no matter how good the internet connection is, it would be a nightmare for the other dev working like that.
He can use the second rig for the other dev to render his work remotely, because e.g. the other dev has no enough computing power in his hands. It can be the case, as the fan art thread shows, many good artists with great skills but limited by their available resources. That requires him to trust her/him with the assets, though.
Finally, I don't think that having two PCs for himself will improve anything in his workflow, this has been discussed ad nauseam in this forum.

ohhh boy I can smell how he realize that his last update was so bad that he may be lose the attention over him. That what he said is to keep you attention on promises. He wont release the update on the end of January, he will release it may be at the begging of the summer! Mark my words and the special surprise is that he connected with other dev to involve their characters in his game HAHAHHA
Building another beast with two 3090s means animation or a dev to help him. Only these two options make sense. Animation without someone to help means even longer delays in updates.
On the other hand he's waiting for answers from a few devs, so he hasn't found one, which reinforces the idea that he found a programmer for animation.

yes, his animations suck, but he shouldn't delay the development process for that, in the meantime I think he can continue developing the game and insert the animations when he has, if ever, ready.
here instead it seems that everything is slowing down because of this.
and in any case it was not a problem if he had been transparent and sincere from the beginning: guys I'm implementing the animations, have patience.
instead it seems that he wanted to keep everything hidden only to disguise the long wait.
My opinion
I still hope L&P doesn't bring in a guy to program mini games, Insta chat like DPC 
I know there are a few around here that with a minigame reach the climax, but still ....

I read it like this: He wants to publish the next update towards the end of January 2022. I didn't expect an earlier appointment anyway. If he announces this date then he will deliver around this time - unless aliens land on earth then it will be delayed by a week. He decided too quickly to announce a new feature for the game and is now not sure whether he can integrate it into this update. He asks for patience. It says nothing more - not even about the aliens.
I understand you, I also see the contradictions, but I wanted to calm the discussion down a bit with my words. Hence the strong opinion / speculation on the planned release date.

I appreciate it, and I'm not trying to cause a drama. I'm just genuinely confused.
Thankfully not.Haha, you obviously never worked in hospitality. First the unhappy customers leave, slowly, and you end up with an empty restaurant.
I'm telling you from my own experience in weddings, christenings and crazy weekends. There was nowhere else to put the dirty dishes.
Ask me, a professional, first or look for another comparison
We're talking about "captive customers" here, and a good example is what's happening with DAZ and the developers who use it. Many complain about video card problems, frequent crashes but ....
Regarding the comparison, I wasn't the one making it, Bane was. I was just trying to help out within that absurd comparison that he made, which you would know if you actually read the topic and not just look for things to throw shade.
It's just him throwing sand in everyone's eyes.
"I thought of something very special"
"for some very special task"
"i reached out to other special devs"
"this special plan"
"upcoming update"
"believe me"
"just have a little bit of trust"
"you'll see this next update"
"upcoming update"
"I'll tell you after the update"
1st, I finally understand why he takes so long in the P&T part.
2nd, he puts more effort into trying to write eloquent posts insulting f95 members than telling his patrons what's up.
3rd, he's, for some reason, still undecided on when will the patrons be able to see this specialness.
And finally, who needs to ask people to believe in them/have trust/faith in them? People who know they lost that trust because of a history of not doing what they say they do. Very telling.

It's like he's been watching youtube clips on effective corporate spin - how to promise the future and never deliver.
Please, a little patience.
Maybe L&P will create 1000 renderings of Dylan and Sophia as input for GPT-3 and ask it to generate the following scenes

Well, I’d obviously prefer Ellie and Sophia, but I’m an open minded consumer and not predisposed to complaining.Please, a little patience.
I’m only commenting on the tone and how lacking in detail the communication is - working for a better tomorrow and all that, but it’s always tomorrow and never today. Reads like corporate propaganda.
