if we will do a math by this game only, We will just calculate by the lowest payable amount, in subscribestar 5 dollars a month is the minimum and the max is 30 dollars so lets say all subscribers just pay 5 dollars which for sure some pays more.
as of now subscribestar he has 117 subscriber times 5 dollars so monthly he gets 585 and I don't know if its clean and how much is the cut of subscribestar to the dev but for sure its small cut only.
2nd is the Patreon, and the minimum is 1 dollar and the highest is 50 dollars and we will just say all members just pay 1 dollar a month which again for sure some pay more... so the current members are 8,556 times 1 is 8,556 dollars a month again I dont know if its clean or how much patreon cut from that.
so, the MINIMUM income per month combined is 9,141 u.s dollars again that is just the minimum THAT IS WHAT THE calculator says...
so I get why lot of people are upset with the dev... because it is a big money you dont even need a job for that by just doing this game is already enough for him to have a good life, other dev can update their games by just once per month and 3 times a year and this deve for 8 years still no progress with the MC most likely some other members and fans that upset already have cancer and they want to leave earth seeing this story worth it they feel that dev is still not motivated with all this money they feel that they are just milked and just leaved hanging all the time keep waiting that they are not a member of the family. but 8 years for sure lot of members are dead already LOL
but in my own opinion this is his work this is his art. and for the members. that is there money not us so let them pay monthy if they think it's still worth it but for me, "just for me that not rich" I pay dev who works fast and progress im a subscireber of LISA BY PALE GRASS and also fashion business by decent monkey and the genesis order by ntr they don't leave their hard-working members hanging and disappointed unlike this with long time of update with 1 new scene and not even about the WIFE.... LOL MY GOD!
lastly this game is good for sure and one of the best with very slow corruption stories that most think abandoned already. Definitely gonna subscribe also when there is already a good progress and frequent updated GOD bless everyone support who you want to support for me its his work its his art let him continue where he wants to continue the story ^_^
I can't say I understood what you said 100%, so please bear that in mind.
This may be a simple comment or a rebuttal.
(Literally, I didn't quite understand what you meant.)
To save on taxes, this developer moved to a country with low taxes.
How many of us make so much money that we have to move our country of residence because of taxes?
This developer has about 2,000 paying subscribers on Patreon and 117 on Subscribestar.
And there are around 180 paying subscribers who pay £30/month.
Even if you assume that all paid subscribers except 180 pay 5 pounds or 1 pound, the total amount will not be small.
There is a certain famous fanboy.
This fanboy, when someone says "This game could have been more successful, but it's failing because of this developer," bring the paid subscriber count information and laughs at the other person by saying, "He's already succeeded."
And this fanboy, when someone says "This developer is making a lot of money and needs to hire staff to shorten the development period and improve the game", he changes his words like this "He doesn't make enough money and no one knows how much he earns."
The reason people are dissatisfied with this developer is not because of his high income.
That's because even though the developer is earning enough money, the content is still poor and the development period is too long.
This developer initially only aimed for one female MC, which is clearly stated in the game description, and this developer tried two MCs along the way and gave up.
(This developer even revealed why he excluded male MCs and created female MCs)
However, this developer has now announced that the entire Parker family is the MC, and actually produced an episode without Sophia in this update.
The developer also abandoned Emma's storyline and deciding to removed side-job episodes, saying "I'll focus on the main story," but created a new Amy and hinted that storylines involving her would continue.
In addition, there are one-off events including Larry, there are multiple routes related to Sophia and there are multiple routes related to Dylan, and multiple routes related to Ellie will also be created in the future.
And there are a number of characters, including Bennett, Julia, and Natalie, who have not appeared in several years, although their storylines still exist.
All of this is directly why, even after seven years, Sofia's most corrupted act is exposing her breasts, and she has only recently given her son a handjob once.
And all of these are the reasons for the criticism that "this developer is only focused on milking subscribers rather than completing the game."
There were times when it took a month or two to watch a day in the game.
Nowadays, it takes two years to watch a day in the game.
Two updates were needed for the scene where Sofia meets Aiden, once at school and once in the vacant lot.
These two updates were identical, with someone touching Sofia's breasts and buttocks and Sofia lifting her skirt.
It took three updates before Dylan and Sophia came home from the salon (and then later).
And although two updates were spent on the side job scene, the developer decided to give up on the side job scene. (based on one day on the 20th)
All of this was spent just to see one day (20 days) in the game.
Based on the progression of the story and overall development period, this developer is creating too many unnecessary renderings.
(Not the scene, but the process of reaching the scene)
This developer clearly needs to condense the game, from a story progression standpoint.
No additional costs and no additional staff.
Finally, about this, this fanboy says, "This developer has created a successful revenue model and there is no need to shorten the development period."
If this developer doesn't change his production method, criticism will inevitably continue.
