Is... anyone surprised by that?
I mean, isn't that pretty much the norm with stuff like this?
Kind of a similar thing happens in relationships, a lot more effort is spent trying to make the other person fall for you and then once you're in a stable relationship it starts to fall apart, the spark is lost...
I've derailed again haven't I?
Point is. Yeah, devs often put a lot more work at the start of the project.
They're nobodies, they have to prove themselves to the audience that they're worthy of having money thrown at them.
Even worse when there's a bunch of projects similar to yours.
So you have to compete in the niche, try out new things to make your project stand out from the rest, hopefully avoid making the same mistakes the ones before you have done.
But once you have a consistent amount of people throwing money at you... there's hardly any need to push as hard.
At some point, you're pretty much set, any more followers are just a bonus.
Unless you somehow were to seriously fuck up, you'd still have a steady amount of supporters that will most likely keep on growing anyway, albeit at a slower pace.
And even if you fuckup, big chance there's a group of people that would throw money anyway.
So you're free to spend your days jerking off and playing gacha games.
Let's be honest, devs like these have no incentive to work harder.
Quite the opposite in fact.
Even if you're amongst the handful of devs that haven't been
corrupted by the power just yet.
Working full throttle all the time is just going to stress you up and then you end up burnt out.
Congrats, the project is now doing a horny eagle death spiral into being abandoned or ending up in development hell.
And even then.
It's not as simple as saying "hard work = success", sometimes you work your ass off and still go unnoticed.
It's one of the things in life, plenty of times
