This is pretty much spot on. I would add the one thing that made me finally leave his discord. Supporters, such as myself at the time, were basically ridiculed for wanting the cheats so that we did not have to re-grind hard after every save wipe. This is when he added the "imma lazy sack" cheat which opens the locked gates. The cheat was meant to shame those who used it, but these were, in part, the very same people who were paying him monthly. He wants us to alpha/beta test everything again after a save wipe and also pay him monthly. When we complained he basically called us lazy sacks of shit. I think I had already ended support at that time, but others were pretty offended and I think he lost some support after that, tho he likely gained the equivalent back again at some point.
I know now that he has mental issues, but at the time it seemed he was just being a major dick. Regardless, there have been improvements however slow the updates were released, so I am glad for it because this is a rare and enjoyable game. I also hope his mental health improves or at least does not get worse, not for the sake of the game, but for him personally.
