Whether Dek's mom died or not has nothing to do with any of his work. If he decided to take a month off, he could say so or even do so because of this event. The main issue has nothing to do with that, it is that he lied to his patreons on multiple occasions. I personally do not believe anything he says, as I have no reason to believe him. My other issue is that he decided to not only tell his patreons lies but also to take off a month when it is his obligation to his patreons to uphold his promises. In a real job (not that this is not real, which furthers the point), even if a relative died you would not be allowed to just disappear when something like this is close to release. I have never heard of someone who has their own job and even the leader of that said job to give up a month just to grieve. If my relatives died I would be sad, but I wouldn't be able to just say "I must drop everything, do nothing, and not go to my job" no matter who they are.
I am not a patreon to him, but I was planning to be one. I had few people that I even considered becoming a patreon for, but I cannot support someone that lies to his patreons. There are many patreons that only show their disatisfaction with him in private, as why would you mention it openly that the creator lies. People have gone through the code of the game and proven that it was edited and not worked on until last minute. Saying that the game was finished and coded a long time ago was a complete lie, as not a single thing was working properly even if you don't look at the code. I have heard mentions that the code itself is just taken from other people, which, if not majorly edited or typed out by themselves to fit the game, can be shameful and even something that could lead to legal trouble (not likely but possible). People with very little code experience can create something that works better than this, which makes you wonder if he ever even edited his code in the first place. Finally, the last thing I wish to say.
This community might be a pirate one, but its also one that can lead to massive support for creators. Saying things like "You shouldn't share this" or "You shouldn't share that" has no real reason being here. If someone wants to support a creator and support this community, its their choice. Its also not a good idea to pester those who do support the creator but don't share here. Saying things like "Please update" or other comments like that aren't an issue, but targeting specific individuals or people is wrong. Please respect the decisions of those who do support the dev. I have no issues with those who support the dev even if they aren't paying the dev, but there are a lot of people here who don't seem to respect anyone but those that believe what they do. I respect even those who still say Dek is innocent or say that that his mom may have really died, but I cannot agree with the idea of not believeing physical evidence and not following the number one rule of the internet that the world has forgoten: Don't believe everything you hear on the internet. It is safer to doubt the words of someone with evidence of lies, than to blindly believe the boy who cried wolf without knowing if its really true.
