Ok, so first, you assume that there are only pirates on this site. Thats incorrect. At least some of thouse who critique over here was or still is his donators. F95 is probably most populated platform for porn games, also his discord was unreasonsbly supportive last time I was there and moderated overzealously.
Firstly, no. I said presumably most people. MOST.
MOST people do probably not pay for access through Patreon.
Secondly, donations go not for development of the games and not for games themselfs. Donations go for autors being "avesome." So if mulan was kinda lazy for a month or more, no punishment will befall him.
Hence why I am arguing that Communication from a development standpoint is more important then how often a product is being updated.
Thirdly, we here do not complain to Mulan. He perfectly clear stated that he is not interested in feedback from pirates. But maybe some donator or potential one see how happy about development this game community is and why, he would stop his pleage and that might force mulan to hold at least some of his promises.
He like all developers (Again, or so I would presume) are interested in constructive feedback in regards to their game, not their private life or work hours. I agree that he has a problem by making deadlines he can't keep.
But as I've stated previously, that's not the worst part. The worst part is missing the deadline...and no word from him until nearly a week has gone by.
That is the real crux of the problem here. If he had told people beforehand "Hey guys, will be a delay due to X and Y, I'm really sorry and I recommend you to postpone your next month's payment" etc etc etc.
There is a myriad of ways to go around this without it being strictly about how fast they can work.
