Like I said, I don't think that's even happened anyway.2 months delay on an update will reduce patreon number? on what planet are you on? I'm not trying to me hostile. It's more of a dig on the devs who delay updates for almost a year or more, and either don't say anything or come up with the most crazy excuse the rival "my dog eat my homework" while still maintaining a giant income.
This is not a statement against this dev in any way, as I did't follow his work style for long enough to know him or his style. So right now I'll hope he is ok, and will be able to communicate with his supports about his state(and hopefully it's nothing too serious).
And yeah, I can certainly think of certain devs that fit the criteria you're saying lol.
