They're only getting a wake up call if those sweet patreon dollars just up and stop flooding their wallets one day, which is just not happening because they have no real competition, so they can get away with everything.
I believe it's become more than evident that anything that is said outside of their collective hug box doesn't mean shit to them (and if something bad is said in it, they silence it anyway). I mean, what's next, cutting Brint off from the game entirely? Brienne is the people's favorite by far so why not? Just let everyone get Brienne from the start as if Brint had never existed and bam, less work for them.
The only option we have at this point is to wait for this farce to be completed (or half baked, if coc 1 is any indication of how they "work") and then let the modders redact the bad content which is most of it and get started on creating the real game, assuming that even they want to so much as look at it by that point. I certainly wouldn't. Not because I don't want to spite them (oh, the irony) or improve the game, no, but because I don't want to bring any more attention to the game and giving them undue credit as devs and writers by essentially turning their turd into a gold bar via my hard, unpaid work.
