It's not just games either, any job where a person is constantly late to work or to meet their required deadlines for task completion should ultimately have shit thrown their way (usually in the form of being demoted or otherwise fired). Since the dev is self employed in regards to the development of their own game, criticism is how shit should be thrown at them. Thankfully, most of the devs on patreon will take the time to listen. The few that don't, end up losing a majority of their support and rightfully so. The argument about triple A game developers and publishers that don't get that is just absurd. Their profit loss is typically in the millions and in the unlucky case of EA, has gone into billions of lost profits for not meeting gamer expectations. Pretty sure that qualifies as savage complaining lol.So you're point is: "Big gaming companies do it more than the devs do it! Stop whining about the devs!" No one said anything about large game companies until you decided to use that as a scapegoat. Just because big game companies do it and ignore their complaints, doesn't mean that VN devs don't deserve to get shit thrown at them when they can't keep a consistent deadline. If your task here was to convince me that paying these devs monthly only for them to just shit in your mouth when the deadline comes up, you've done a terrible job.
