This thread has turned into a circus sideshow crash course on free markets and a proof of the axiom of "a fool and his money will soon part." But most folks seem to have no grasp of free markets, social contract, or fiscal responsibility... Or for that matter the simple idea of "wrong me once, shame on you, wrong me twice shame on me." If a dev is known for bailing on a project before completion, why even pledge in the first place? Do you not realize that just proves Einstein's definition of insanity? Or perhaps you're just closet fanboys begging the multiverse for GD to finish a game....

This is a classic example of people throwing good money after bad because they can't admit to themselves that they have wasted money and have been taken for a ride. They keep supporting him financially in the vain hope one day they will be justified in their subscription.
I dropped my support when it became clear the project had stalled. If only more people showed the same attitude, he might have been more inclined to actually do some work. Instead, he is being rewarded for his laziness and lack of scruples.

Not really a clear case of people supporting him over a long duration, but rather more fish get reeled in to replace the ones jumping off. Maybe a bad example, but take mobile games, or these browser social games. The monetizing is based on "whales" and useful idiots replacing the ones passing through. I guess in this regard a "whale" could be considered a long time supporter, and the useful idiots the ones passing through after a brief stay.
What people want to spend their money on is up to each and own. And we could argue everyone spend their money on useless shit all the time, but it's their money to spend on whatever they want, regardless how idiotic or silly it looks like. Can still call people out on it, just no one got any right to tell people what to, or not to, spend on.
You will never run out of fools, things such as Angry Bird, Candy Crush, GTA Online and all kind of other games that allow players to spend on in-game purchases, loot boxes, currency, skins, and other crap just proves this. If any of you ever spent on such things. You just another sucker riding the train of fools as well.

Yeah, I thought alike. Most probably, drug money traffic laundering and dozens of bots praising this pathetic milkman. Really, none can make me believe that there are so many cow-minded fools on this forum. They would be incapable to use credit card considering their feeble-minded expectations.
Well, I read this forum thread for good laugh, it's hilarious. And I get what I wanted, fun-fun-fun))
Funniest thing is that milkdrop could make an update he promised - it is not hard at all. Maybe month or two of work, it just does not stand a chance to match drama happening here)).

Correct, because the entirety of people pledging to creators are also active members here. Sounds legitimate.
There's also another cause of active accounts on many dormant Patreons. The fact that many people are patrons to far more than 1 creator. So that specific amount is lost in sea of total pledges.
It's far easier to spot and withdraw from an inactive developer if that's the only one you support, rather than spot the 2-5$ that get wasted out of the 100$ monthly.

Is these screenshots the only thing that contains the new posts on your website? Less previews and publishes the fucking update, Don Fucking Milking!.

I bet you guys anything there will never be another release. There's no way his release will ever make up for 1 and a half years of being lazy so he's probably just going to coast until he has no money, since any release would just cause major patreon outrage and most of his money will be gone.
You think that the patrions that has been hanging on for more then a year with nothing is gona leave when they get something?
I belive he is gona grow even if he delivers a hot garbage update with no content if he just shows some "coming in the next update" pics that looks like it contains something
Why don't you have any empathy for Gumdrop?
Are you asking about the release date of Dual Family: Act I Part X? Take a deep breath. Let it out slowly while thinking the words: "It will be ready when it's ready."
And if you are more concerned for Gumdrop's welfare, do check out his Patreon page. Maybe even become a patron?

Go into Politics?
Maybe that's what Gummy is doing. A render a month while he's in political office pushing for the agenda of those 8000+ smackeroos he gets per month.
