Seriously. I hate when people try and be all high and mighty and ‘moral’ or whatever when it comes to defending devs. Devs make their game knowing full well there are expectations to meet. When a game takes 6 months for an update, or alternatively, 2 updates a YEAR, you have to, as a consumer, start wondering what could be taking so long. Like you said, it’s not as if they aren’t getting paid for it.
Look at Summertime Saga, they rake in like 50k a month and they still take months for updates that consist of 3 H-Scenes. It’s the norm now for most devs. Literally most devs have either abandoned their games or take months and months for small updates aside from developers like NLT Media (Treasure of Nadia). Such a huge game that needs 3d rendering etc. and their updates are still so consistent.
Also, if the dev IS ill, depressed, busy etc. they usually let their audience know rather than keeping them in the dark. If they are indeed in a situation like above then that’s fine, but not saying anything about it would be stupid.
