While I do work in a law firm, I am unfortunately not DS' lawyer. And you seem to be completely missing my point. The purpose of my posts is not to defend DS, it is to educate patrons to not be fooled by being a patron while hoping for something in return that was never promised to begin with. In a way, I'm trying to make you see your faults so you can make better decision in the future.
And you got your update from the beginning of your patronage to the end of your patronage. So once again, what is actually the problem? Did he take your money and not provide the update? No. Have you donated money for 0.14? No. Had he ever promised to develop and release 0.14 and take your money for it? No. You donated from 0.2 to 0.13. He provided you with 0.2 to 0.13. You donated, he fulfilled his obligation to you.
You're confusing two very different things. I didn't say that developers have no obligation. What I said (in this DS case) is that DS has no obligation to finish BB because your patronage is not for BB's completion. Your patronage is for month-to-month update. That's why DS never said "For $40, I'd complete the game" and instead "For $40, you get so and so perks" which he delivered. Your patronage is not to complete the game, it is to provide consistent monthly updates.
It even said so on his Patreon page goal: "As soon as this goal is met, we can work full-time and release new versions of the game on a regular basis." You don't see anywhere that he said "As soon as this goal is met, we can complete the game"
