right so no dev milks people. Those dozens of devs that took money from people and then abandoned their games didn't milk people? I would say a large portion of the games on this site are abandoned... so many in fact that they have a sort function to weed out those games.
Its really too bad they don't have a sort function for devs who have multiple abandoned games so people know to stay away but hey you keep kissing dev rear end and I will keep going after devs who seem to care more about making money off people then actually working on their game.
You have your opinion and I'm not going to try and change it. My opinion is very few devs actually "milk" there Patreons and if people feel like the updates are to slow they can cancel there Patreons. I have canceled many Patreons when the updates did not come out at a pace I liked or the dev decided to rework a game.
Sometime updates are slow, take the "arguably" best VN on here "Being A DIK" it gets updated "once a year" but the content is very robust and it takes time to create. In it's 14,800+ pages very few if any fans are accusing the dev of milking.
Aperture Studio is tiny and I doubt it's a full time gig, but they are consistent even if it's not as fast as we would like. Also the quality of the updates is generally good imo (if the content truly sucked we wouldn't be here) and it leaves us wanting more.
Writing, programming, creating art and bug fixing takes time, I give them that time by going to play something else while I wait.
Now, none of that is going to change your opinion, however I see the same suspects thread after thread accusing a ton of devs as milking, which I think is unfair. Do some devs milk? Hell yes I can name two off the top of my head (Fetish Locator) and (A New Dawn) The first was is marked complete and it is still drip feeding out it's endings and the second drip feeds out bug fixes with no new content. That's milking.
Downfall: a Story of corruption has slow updates but consistent updates, and quality content. I loved the last update, the story had a nice twist and even people who are on here regularly can't say they saw that coming and it's the same story every single time. The developer has also gotten much better with communication on Patreon and you can see him attempting to put out content faster. I applaud him/them not accuse them of milking.
