So what? Long development timelines are the norm now in every part of the industry. It's only sports titles that are now annual (and those are basically just roster updates) while everything else takes years.
People saying "DPC should hire people" don't seem to understand that isn't going to make a lick of difference because the main timesink is creating and then waiting for scenes to render. Waiting for animations to finish rendering has been the main pinchpoint for three episodes now. Also you might've noticed that even in AVNs created by teams the level of content isn't that much different yet doesn't exactly come out faster because most teams have a singular "artist" to ensure a consistent design and they still have to wait for that to be rendered. It's the same even in 2D hand drawn stuff where games like Our Red String and Seeds of Chaos take a million years because of art.
Also you raise the number of patreon subs as somehow being why DPC should stop doing what they're doing when that makes no sense because those subscribers have subscribed because of the product DPC's workflow has resulted in. You seem to be under a somewhat false impression that DPC chopping down on their vision in the name of "delivering quicker" would somehow still deliver the same experience when it likely wouldn't.
