There are three possibilities with a 'support stoppage': 1) L&P figures out a way to be faster and support is returned. 2) L&P Abandons the game. Game over dude! 3) There is little to no change upto it gets slower as he just continues his epic.Not putting myself amongst the patreon bashers, but I think we can identify the thinking behind the complaint: if patreons would drop their support in protest of the preposterously long development cycles the theory is that the drop in support would speed up development in order to make the project more appealing, more "worthy" of financial support.
OK, fair enough everyone, but let's consider:
There's really no data suggesting that a drop in support would lead to faster development. (Wolfinger wasn't wrong, but he wasn't right, either)
Using an unprovable notion as a bat with which you beat unnamed patreons from all parts of the globe through a computer screen is weird, at best.
I think #3 would persist through at least one if not two updates before #2 is selected. Just pulling that from a nether region. IMO
