Frankly, with the lack of any development, shifting towards a new game nobody wanted, and the buggy, untested mess the last few updates have been?That was just bait to delay some people from unsubsciribing from his patreon after the disappointing "update". It was late in that month so a few days was all he needed to get those people to stay at least another month.
I don't understand how ANYONE is still subscribed to him. Everyone ought to unsubscribe, and only subscribe for the month there is an actual release. Remember, if you subscribe just to download the release, then unsibscribe again immediately, he gets your money for that month. But not the next one unless he actually puts some work into deserving it.
