You act as if Patreon is the only place in the world he could release this game.....he doesnt owe anyone shit, no one should work for free. Its not his fault Patreon doesnt want the type of content. THink of it as more of a TV show you get an episode a month and sometimes them tv shows get canceled with no ending, it happens. I doubt He wanted to just lose that money for him and the people he's employing.
Unless you can come up with a system that will pay him and his team folks needs to chill the fuck out.
Even though the game was released today without any help from Patreon.
Yes Devs deserve to get paid for they work they do...
DS got paid for the work he released today!
And he got paid at minimum $2500 bucks a month for over a year to develop this game. (That assumes every patron paid only $1 and doesn't count all those $40 patrons he had).
Those people employed him for an entire year and I can certainly understand why they feel they deserve a finished product regardless of his collecting anymore money from them as he has made quite a bit already.
They were loyal to him especially those 40-50 some odd $40 patrons.
Yet at the first sign of trouble he pretty much abandoned them!
He should at least take some time over the next two months to work on both his NEW paid project and completing BB as he always planned.
If he wants to make money for that work then he can find a temporary pay site to use until the game is final and completed or live off the few who are going to stick to his Patreon payments that was supposed to go towards both games before all this happened. Maybe he will have to take a one off payment and send those folks the completed game when he finishes it.
But to just drop it when it could be finished in as few as two more releases is ust a slap in the face to all those who had faith in his product, gave him PLENTY of financial support to complete it for over a year, and deserve to not hear excuses that Patreon won't let him collect any MORE money from them so all the money they already gave was wasted ...sorry sucker!
