That is the problem with the whole "support a project" system. if all crowdfunding platforms were legit - they would only have "pay per update" systems. But the platforms get a cut of the profit so they are just as interested as scammers in milking supporters. The only ones who can fix that are the supporters themselves.The worst thing is not that this game is not being updated, but that other developers may look at it as a guide and decide that they have the right to start doing the same thing. The logic is simple: if you're going to succeed and remain unknown anyway, why don't you try at least postponing your updates a little bit first? If it goes well, you can postpone updates for a longer period of time. In a few years, when "IF!!!!" you have a bad reputation as a scammer, you can introduce a new game, with a "new" dev and a slightly altered drawing style.
That's terrible, there are already devs who postpone their updates by months, but imagine if this were to escalate.
More games like this,"Curse of Pleasure", "Naked Adventure", "NTR Legend" and some more, if they are getting away with it then i doubt the quality of this industry will grow in the near future.
Basically imo if a project doesn't have a pay per update system - it should't be supported (even then, there is room to scam people still). There probably are exceptions for things like charities and such but at least they state upfront what they are.
Now imagine if only legit games and devs got support - all the great games we would have!
