Well, as far as this bug at Patreon goes, we´ll see how much was truly dropping support and how much wrong sent payments.
But my main argument still stands. Gumdrop is using up his goodwill at astonishing speed, quite in contrast to his working speed. I too remember well his posts in December. He bought some top-of-the-line PC stuff and went on how fast he now could work. 8 months later you see nothing of that, instead he became slower!
He can be glad that he has no shop or bureau, because rightly pissed off boys and girls would be there all the time. A normal firm could nver do such shenigans without a serious backblow. And my warning for gumdrop is meant as such. He erodes any trust he had with his behaviour. That can still be a stable situation for a time, but you cannot evade fate endlessly.
I saw that with a competitor of the firm I work in. We were baffled how they functioned so well, knowing what we did about their situation and customer services.
It went on longer than most people would have bet, but then within a few days they fell down like a house of cards. Lost trust and goodwill were not the main reasons, but a big part of it.
Gumdrop seems to underestimate this loss outside of his cheerleaders group. If gumdrop has the nose for nilking we give him, then he should recognise that it would be better in the long run if he updated sooner than later. Because he is coutrting the sudden death of his dairy farm, with all the lies, hyperbole and lacking progress, when even people with less great PCs churn out quality updates far faster. One day even the die-hards will have lost any trust, he is lucky he has patrons like he has, but they too will get fed up with this "specialist".
