Dev owes us nothing, we also owe the dev nothing. Health issue or he was not his work done is not equivalent to the money received. Only with the setup of patreon, and SS can you still get paid for not working.
Having any real job if you have health issues where you can not work. Besides a limited amount of sick leave you will not get paid, and if you are not productive for to long you will get demoted if not fired.
The he was sick is no excuse, or more it is one. The end result is not changed whether it is real or not.
You get paid for the work you do that is how the adult society works. A society that bones himself has said multiple times that he can not fit in to. People keep jumping to his defense yet he himself was the one that said the start of most of the complaints against him.
He doesn't do well with deadlines, he will not work. he will never serials work on this game as the moment he sees it as a job he will abandon it. These are things that he himself has said.
Honestly those that support him are the dumbest in this whole situation. Do we not support the games we like to see more content, and get faster or higher quality updates. Last I checked it was clear from his SS goals that the funds only go to him "living the life". Not new, or better content. Not more consistent content, and not even a guaranty of content period.
FYI you can not pirate a free game. That is like saying you stole a free sample. Stelling something freely given is a nonsensical paradox. Also what we say on F95 means nothing to bones as he said a long time ago that he no longer uses this site. So what does it matter hwo bad people talk about him. As the saying goes "what momma don't know wont hurt her". You cant hurt his "feelings" if he never sees it in the first place. Besides he "doesn't care what F95 users say". His words not mine.
So all those asking for him to do something, or posting encouragement. You are wasting your breath. Go to his discord, but be carful wat you say or you will get banned. Do not even mention updates as that is the literal forbidden word there.
As for pregnancy he has already said he will never add it He dislikes the changes it does to a woman's body.
Odd that all the "positive" post ignore that fact that the game is bugged when even the creator noted it was bugged.
