They always released on time for their Patrons except for 19 which was delayed by a month due to feedback that indicated the ending was unsatisfactory. So keep having your "standards" for your free shit. They've always met their promises to Patrons. Sorry that the free releases take a backburner to that. I guess that's a bad business model.
Either you haven't read the thread, or didn't understand, but no one is arguing that they're delaying the paid service. In fact that's the point. It's being argued that they're withholding the free release to drive up patreons who have given up waiting and paid the $10 for the chapter. And sure, you might say they're entitled to money for their work, to which I would point you to the love-joint.com header
There it is in clear writing. 'CREATING
FREE ADULT GAMES'. It's not about a good or bad business model, it's the model they've set up, for better or worse, with the promise to release the games for free. Putting that off is fundamentally adverse to their business model and false advertising. That's what we're holding them to account for. The standard is that if a company or a developer says something, that you should hold them to it. And that's not just about quality but it's also about distribution of the product in a timely and reasonable manner. Palmer and co have exceeded both.
A developer that says they make free games, only to delay the free game to make money is being deceitful.
