I was going to completely agree with Lawsuit Incoming about people enabling Dr. Bones, until I saw this chart. I still think people like Aurelio Maximo are too blind with the white-knighting to see that Dr. Bones is not some godly dev who won't ever think of sitting around while patrons and subscribers pay him monthly for not even a hint of an update. We see that clearly; he takes 3-8 months regularly to put out content that is barely progressing the game, nor justifies the wait.View attachment 1131834
At one point Dr. Bones was making 2000$ in patreon when he had The Manor there. When patreon fucked his game and he switched to a shit female MC game, it literally dropped hundreds and it keeps dropping. His SubcscribeStar, in fact, is making 1800$ at the moment.
Dandy Boy is currently making 2000$
Is it as much as DC? No. But no game will make as much as DC, and it isn't because of quality, but things like longevity and advertisement.
Think about it like USA 2016 election. Whether you wanted Trump to be a president or not, he mostly won because of memes. Summertime saga is in that exact same position.
However I do see that there are people like Lawsuit Incoming who are too angry due to the horni who also contribute to polarizing the situation: "either you are a simp for Dr. Bones or you hate him and all his patrons" essentially. This chart showing Dr. Bones' income over time (after the patreon to subscribe-star switch) justifies that people overall aren't continuing to enable him. As more time passes, he gets less income. I assume some big donors have dropped out, since the number of patrons kind of betrays this (a spike-increase of patrons -probably paying very small amounts- in 2021).
I know I contributed my fair share of complaints, but I also know that there are other games to play and not just this one. Or I can also go outside and not be a degenerate 24/7 patrolling the thread to defend anyone's name.
