Naturally a good theory should be falsifiable, so I can give you some estimates. It would surprise me quite a bit if L&P abandons AWAM before the next 2 updates. I doubt his nest egg has already the size he wants it to, he still will have limelight, since the niche AWAM sits in has few other options and I think he still is in the phase where he rose-tints his motives for himself. For example"the 0.130 update has progress on most paths, I even opened up new ones!" That this progress is simply too slow and too small for the time since AWAM started and the time the update took, he turned much of this progress irrelevant for the storyline development and that he opened up new construction sites when he is already far behind schedule, L&P does not want to see.
The jogging scene with Dylan for instance was voided for storyline progress since it stopped at some gropping and walking arm in arm. That is something we already had one way or the other. Had the scene, which is only reachable with cheating(!) culminated in a somewhat chaste, somewhat hot (to impress the Hobos) kiss, which would have sent them somewhat reeling afterwards about what they did and how they feel, that would have pushed the Dylan story forward. As it happened that is simply a tiny step forward, not enough for a game out for 4 years and an update that took half a year. That is not slowburn any more, that is atrial fibrillation!
I do not speak much about the other halfbaked paths, like the old guys or the young boys, which are irrelevant for the wider story and crass especially in violation of the established canon! Wanking off minors, but being prudish nearly everywhere else (execept lesbian paths)up to this point? Was soll das? What does he want to show with this crap?
I estimate that L&P will abandon AWAM between late 2022-25, maybe 26. That depends on several factors we can better peg in the coming months. Oh by the way, I doubt we get another update this year. For that to happen L&P would need to have assistance he to this day strenously pushed away. It would be a major change, but since still as of this moment he did anything he could to slow down development, I only believe it when I see it.
Sadly, I don't think that there IS anything we can do as community to help L&P with pacing for updates.
I say this because there has been so many people offering valid ways to make the project move forward at a much faster pace.
Cut back on Characters. (Not introducing yet more new ones)
Focus on 2-3 character arcs at a time. (Say main house of Husban, Son, Daughter but not outsiders)
Maybe adding small "vignettes" on the side so that Sophia can do a bit of "exploring" outside of main characters without impact that character's story status. (Such as another date with teacher or shower-scene with janitor)
Doing "extended scenes". (Or setting up situation that takes "half a day" in game play but is only 1 event overall .. see "vignettes")
Be willing to "take a pride hit" on "rough draft" updates. (Releasing updates that may still require rework or renditions for "generic scenes" such as kitchen or travel scenes)
A countless number of other suggestions have already been made, and apparently had little or no impact.
Clearly it isn't a "money issue" because all stated goals have been met. If "money issues" were in effect, those goals would be exchanged for new ones or would be increased overall. Say, an extra 300-500 per tier justified by claiming to have "under-estimated amount of support predictions)
As much as I DO like L&P's quality of graphics ... Well, I think that L&P simply makes too much money to care what other people have to say, and simply IGNORES people who make suggestions about the game overall.

i would post it a 3rd time or nobody will believe you.
is that really that hard to process?
you play part 1, let the game export your progress and start part 2 with it.
That's why I will be shocked if it reaches 2023 before it is dropped.
I think that L&P purposefully "teases" potential content, only to pull away from it, simply to establish a history of "not moving in the proper direction that I wanted it to".
Given the amount of time between updates, lack of content involved with each update, repeated "tease/ignored" scenes and stories, as well as amount being made? I see L&P just dropping the whole project within 1-2 years simply to avoid the headache of it all.

More or less. We already have several reasons why Bennett wont succeed in his blackmail, from him not being significant enough to get a place in the Favorite Character poll, to Mrs Torress already suggesting Sophia can speak to the school board to get the grade changed.
L&P has mocked the idea of monthly updates. Even bimonthly updates that he stated he was aiming for looks unlikely. Coming back after Xmas seems your best bet.
Actually we're only on playable day 12. And we had complete nudity of both Sophia and Ellie on playable day 10. If you play the Ellie/Patricia route, even Dylan can see Sophia, Patricia, Claire and Marie (the hairdresser and her daughter) completely naked on playable day 11.
Sophia is already stated as being 38. L&P himself has stated Ellie is 17-18 and Dylan 16-17
In America I believe you can get a drivers license as early as 16. There's nothing to say Ellie and Dylan don't have their driver's license, or that they aren't allowed to. Only that they don't drive. It could simply be that they don't have their own cars.
The apostles exist, it's only that the sex-ed classes don't.
Nope. Apart from the Nat event next update (so maybe around Xmas), wont be anything for around 2 years.
Nope, not without cheating. From setting the point requirement impossibly high, to a mini-game some can't play, it's almost as if L&P is trying to discourage the event. And then even when you play it, it's mostly content we've seen with Patricia, both in the park and the Yoga event. Sophia even has a more favourable reaction with Patricia

Shit... only 5 years? Better head over to Patreon then and throw money at LP if they're going to crank shit out that fast.

Im really looking forward to the next aiden's task.
He can ask her to pretend his girl friend, take off the engagement ring, and go to a pool party with his friend or maybe teach when wearing bikini.
But i guess the aiden's task is gonna take a year bc the next update would be focus on lesbian content.
By the way, i dont think people grumble about the slow burn story, they just hate the waiting

The next update focuses on lesbian content? Why when there's only a single event in an update do people think it's going to be a lesbian update? Next update will only have a probably small event with Nat (the maid).
The focus of next update will be Sam's rock concert.

The art class event was erotic until Aiden walked in and secretly used Sophia like a whore. What a rotten piece of dirt.
