Well, Patreon is exactly voluntary support, almost like charity, You give money and hope that Dev will use it to ensure his projects growth, if he's not, than You can only blame Yourself for believing him, like a "handshake agreement", the only thing that obliges You is Your own good will and decency. Supporters are not entitled to anything, we should remember that and vote with our wallets.
Which is why I dropped support the INSTANT I saw this behavior. And again, you aren't going to change my mind on my views. Period.
This is not what I was doing, I did exact same thing.
what do you suggest? incarceration? defenestration? temporary forehead tattoos?
... in the shape of an "L" on their forehead.
All honey select games I was following have become patreon milkers with 1 release a year. It's like they all decided to become depressed and have writer's block
that reads like, "shit I haven't done anything in this game for so long that I forgot that I liked working on it, I guess I'll have to do something now"
I remember when Ecchi Sensei said they wanted to do 365 days of story, yet it took them almost a year to get a week done. Those devs are STILL alleging they will continue with the story eventually even though nothing has been done in more than 2 years, and fans have done some of the hard part compellation they wanted to do for them. Burnout from lack of scope in projects is real, but sadly so is milking of supporters. I want this project to end right, but they need to buckle down and start wrapping up some storylines. If he ends it right he could create a slightly more open world sequel or something, but after being burned by Ecchi Sensei Patreon, I am very hesitant to jump on the patreon of another devv who has yet to show he will complete a project.
Again, games here get the abandoned tag not always because the dev has explicitly abandoned them, but because there has been either no update released for 18 months, or no communication regarding the game for three months. And in those cases, the mods are not necessarily watching for that to happen, but relying on someone reporting that the game has reached that status, which is why at least one person here can almost certainly say, "But Dev xyzpdq hasn't mentioned the game or been actively talking on their Patreon for six months"; dont tell us, tell a mod or just be patient....
