Milking is an abhorrent phrase in this context. I think people need reminding of what Patreon is some times.

Patreon is about Supporting. Every penny that a dev takes from patreon is a donation from people who want to support their work. No Patron is being held at gunpoint and forced to give money and they can stop at any time.
It is no secret that some of the more popular devs have a knack of making it look like they are doing more than they really are, but people still support them because they enjoy their work.

You would have to be a colossal moron to give up your full time job and make patreon your only source of income, because in the blink of an eye it can all disappear, as some of the more popular devs are now discovering.

Hello peeps, im new to the game and on my first playthrough in chapter 1, on day 6 before the dinner with secretary there was an option for Georgina to masterbate first, and for some reason the game always crashes at that scene. Anybody else with similar problems?

And that is different to most other self-employed/independent jobs how? Especially in the creative industry Patreon is far from the worst choice when comes to making a living.

As a private attorney, you have to take money from the “cash rich months” - and bank it away for the “cash poor months.” I would think that any developer on a roll would do the same, and quit their day job knowing they had a couple months cushion just in case the Patreon hits the fan.

The game could have been finished a long time ago. He milked this project so much and now it likely won't even finish smh

Mr. Dot:
So, that’s basically what’s happening guys. We will finish all the content we had planned for this update (v0.17), and then we’ll focus on the new game for a while.

Until the dust settles we have no other choice but to comply with Patreon and wait. We don’t want to rush the ending of the game either. Maybe a good Patreon alternative may become available in the next few months, who knows? But for now, we want to play this carefully and not make any rushed decisions that could mean the end of our games.

It’s you the fans that keep us going, and if DMD had been completed already, this new project that we’ve begun working on would’ve been the game we would have followed up with. So due to the unfortunate circumstances, we’ve started on it a lot earlier than we have previously planned! But we also hope that you will support us on our new project or at least try it out to begin with.

So yeah chances are between 0.0 and 0.1 that this game ever finishes it is what it is

If things stay as they are : MrDots stays at Patreon ; Patreon continues its anti-porn crusade ; no reasonable Patreon funding platforms are found. Then yes, the chances of MrDots doing a DMD continuation after 0.17 seem very slim.
But now calculate what are the chances that things stay as they are? Damn close to zero, agreed? DMD has been and can still be a money-maker for either MrDots or a different studio in future.
So I'd be willing to say that there is almost zero chance that DMD will be completely and forever cancelled. It may take a different direction/form but it is NOT FINISHED...
Why wouldn't things stay as they are? Patreon made the guidelines for a reason. They are not going to expose themselves from a legal standpoint.

Mr Dot has shown zero desire to work outside of patreon maybe if his new game flops he'll circle back

I think the sad truth is with all this Patreon nonsense going on, you could read that quote in February next year and with a slight date alteration it would still be true.
If DMD was staying at Patreon then you may be correct, but Mr Dots has already said he will be taking DMD to a different location and he has created a website for it.
There is no reason to think that the game will not progress given the move to a new site.

She looks like loli.

I won't be at all surprised if Patreon will ban MrDots next game.
If you read between the lines (which most people don't), then with everything that Patreon has put the devs through whom they have reviewed in recent months, MrDots would've had to have this character and any new storyline approved first. Which probably explains why there was such a delay with him updating his Patreon page after all the DMD stuff was taken down. Looks like he's been given the all clear to me.

I was referring more to Jeff Steel's comment about no current father/daughter penetrative sex. It wouldn't be reaching much to say that with the inevitable delays this project is seeing plus the pace the game was at prior to the delays, it is feasible that Dad won't get to pop D's cherry for another year. It was mean't in jest with the obvious hope that it will happen much sooner. Just hard to be optimistic about this currently
