Well, Yes. There are always issues, but if you are good at what you do and can manage issues correctly. You should be able to meet the demands. If It looked like it would take me Twenty years to complete a project. I wouldn't have customers. The issue I have with the developer here is his lack of management and not wanting help. This game is terrific, but the dev cant even get in one playable day in a year. I've went from a high end contributor for a good amount of time. To the lowest end. Now, I've given up. It will eventually be abandoned. My 2 cents. You asked.
It was a good and acceptable reason for them to withdraw support from L&P. I hope when you left you explained to the developer the reasons why you were leaving. "That he's too slow, that he doesn't listen to advice and that he lies." Did he answer you? Can you post the answer here?
That still makes sense at Patreon, but unfortunately not here anymore.
Again, the entrepreneurial risk is on the developer's side. They came voluntarily and left voluntarily.
Why do I still support him? My contribution is small, I don't keep complaining about things that I can't change or that I don't know better and I'm satisfied with what I get from the developer for my contribution.
Or I got a soft brain from a lot of wanking, one possibility too.
