...What? Just for my own sanity's sake, let me try and break this down.
- LP starts developing a promising game and people start supporting him financially
- LP notices the potential to make millions with little effort, resulting in the development slowing down to make more money out of it in the long run
- LP reaches all his patreon goals, each of which indicate a faster update progression, such as: Finding people to help with the development, quitting sidejob to be able to invest more time developing, upgrading hardware to increase image rendering speed mainly, cancelling all college courses to basically work on the game full time
- LP releasing less content updates while doubling or even tripling the time required (See previous point)
- Some people finally realize that LP is simply a con artist, basically scamming people for their hard earned money
- Bane71 thinking that now's the time to spend more money on LP because people start to realize that there's simply no point in supporting this "developer" which Bane71 calls out as people "crying"
Now, you are obviously free to spend your money on anything you want, but..uhm.. Well, good investment I guess?
I really like your wording that L&P makes a lot of money with little effort!
It's very interesting, how did you determine that he was making a small effort?
But this is a purely hypothetical question, I do not expect an answer to it and I will not study it if you write something.
Because if you say so, then you imagine L&P as a deceiver who deceives everyone who believes him and all those who support him financially.
That is, you see the situation for yourself in such a way that L&P is walking and having fun for our money and only spends a little time creating AWAM to keep stupid people like me on the hook.
You are very smart and you can not be deceived, moreover, you are so noble that you are trying to save such fools as me, opening our eyes to the truth and meanness and deception of L&P.
Did I describe the situation correctly?
If anyone is interested, I will explain my vision of the situation.
First, trying to understand any situation, to understand the behavior of someone, I try to put myself in his place. That is, to pass events through yourself like light through a lens.
Secondly, I see that today L&P has presented us with AWAM as a huge springboard-the foundation on which it is going to tell us its story. This story is so multifaceted, has such a huge number of routes that have a complex interaction scheme, that I understand how many development options there are. Moreover, there are new, no less interesting ones. Even I, as a user of the game, have my own ideas. All this tells me about the huge amount of work that the author needs to do in order to tell us everything that he wants.
Thirdly, seeing how perfectionist L&P is (high-quality renderings with great attention to detail), how he presents his characters to us( very beautiful models) and the events in which they are immersed(the plots are great, the dialogues are thought out), I personally am very clearly aware that he-L&P does not have enough time to present his story to us completely in all its possible development options as soon as possible.
A long time of creating game-day plots for subsequent updates, this, in my humble opinion, is a side result of his reverent attitude to what he creates. But not the result of his riotous life, which does not leave him time to work to create AWAM.
I will say more, those who claim that L&P is a deceiver, first of all talk about themselves! If they were in L&P's place, they would resort to the actions that L&P is accused of, at least most of them, that's what I'm sure of.
