the release of a game often depends on the consumers and not the developer, if we were smarter we would stop paying a developer after 6 months without an update. I know this is a pirate site and I'm not owed anything, but if we really want to send a message to the developer, stopping paying for it would be the logical choice
unfortunately, probably it is too late now
it is hard to not exploit the chance presented on a silver plate by patreon

devs need one good start, getting a fair amount of supporters hooked, and then they can start getting free money for minimal or no work at all, for months, or even years.
as long as most of supporters are happy with previews, wallpapers and promises, everything is peachy...ofc, there are also few bots to explain why they should be happy and how the dev is dedicated and hardworking while those complaining, particularly on some pirate forum, are ungrateful entitled little bitches stirring shit and disturbing peaceful (sheep) herd of followers/supporters.
on the bright side - it is quite amusing to follow/read similar threads (scamlab, scamstor, scamorrta, scamero...)
