If money was the pure focus. You would think that maintain his high of 12k+ was desired then. Now it dropped under 8k or something. If money is all you care about you don't do a "long time" social experiment that end up you miss out on 4k a month. He also said he understand if people drop their pledge due to how long time it take. So not exactly begging people to support either.
Well, I did not say money was his sole focus, it is his main focus! Besides, gumdrop is making 8k+$/month for nearly a year now without releasing anything substantial. That is quite a lot of money for NOTHING! And if you read my posts, I did say I believe he finally made a miscalculation with not releasing the update in January.
Before the next argument, a little clarificatiion since some of your posts revolve around this: Beside a small number of Trolls for trolling sake (which you will find in any type of forum everywhere), even the most acerbic and cynic user here is a fan of Dual Family.
It is just our BS sensor has gone ON for a long time now unlike yours. (I would not even be surprised if you were gumdrop in disguise, but I doubt it based on your style of writing. Then again, in my native tongue I could judge personal writing style far better than in English) Gumdrop is either completely incompetent as a developer (blowing a very long and generous release date he set so he could release well before that day in theory) or a very good con man.
Considering that he has been caught outright lying several times, then boasting things which turned out to be hot air (One of the most infamous him explicitly telling the forum how massively he has updated his computer stuff and that he would now release updates much faster. What came of it? The next release after this computer update was a month late, after that nothing to this day at all) and other stuff him being a masterful snake oil seller wins by default.
(Sarcasm mode on)If I would tell you that the Sun rises in the South, would you believe me?(sarcasm mode off) Gumdrop has been far too unreliable over time for his speech about understanding patrons leaving to be even remotely believable.
And since it has been part of your arguments before: I have patroned several things on Steam, Kickstarter and Patreon over the last few years, I even contemplated doing it here in the beginning, but I do not throw money at proven liars.
