I will bet on the former, no doubt. I will always be grateful with this forum, as most of you know this was the first place where I posted the game, and from where most of my supporters came from. The fact is that, for communication purposes, I'm using mainly Discord, because is easier to answears questions there an talk silly stuff with the game community. But I watch this thread closely almost everyday, and I noticed that there's no need to answear questions myself because there is a few people who are doing a great job already:
@Golem98 @SomeDamnedDude among others.
And yes, I'm a lot more busy that I have been before, in a good way.
(There is the little tiny detail that I got a little "down" too, with some of this forums comments about me and the game, which I get and respect (as I respect every other opinion) But some just like drama, and I'm not much of a drama fan).
But the bottom line is, I'm always available to talk and help players (You can ask around the server), but is easier for me if you just join the Discord, you don't need to be a patreon for that.
But... I... read... EVERYTHING...
