Agreed.
Rainces was on up to $2000 at one point on his Patreon. Per month. All he had to do to keep that lifestyle was hire a programmer and Daz 3D artist and hand over his IP to someone else. He could've ''phoned in'' the script and that would've been the end of it. I earnestly have no idea why he didn't simply handover the work to someone else. At the time, it seemed to me a massive waste of the time invested.
Likewise, I've spoken to him personally. He was burned out. As far as I can deduce, he abandoned Bad Boy Bobby because he was tired of trying to keep up with it. He likely hit a black hole in inspiration and couldn't plot his way out of it, and it likely didn't help that he was the sole writer, producer, programmer and artist of his own project.
On the note of ZipTie being Rainces. I've played ZipTieFun's version of Bad Boy Bobby. Their writing style isn't even remotely similar. Two very different people wrote and produced those games. You can see it in the psychology of the sex that happens, and the nature in which the scenarios go down. ZipTie is more abusive, dominant, masochistic; Rainces is playful, perverted, embarassing, and enjoys blackmailing (in a manner of speaking) the female characters. They can't be the same author, their motivations for producing Bobby simply don't align.
