At this point, he should just lose every single Patreon otherwise nothing will change.
Unfortunately, I think this is right. For the supporters, it's their money. But as long as Bluecat is making thousands a month, I don't think he really cares about changing anything. You can call it scamming, incompetence, or whatever you want. I think it is all the same at this point.
I was honestly encouraged by Skummy's statement of Bluecat's alternate plan. It looked like Latecomer would be asked to deliver by the end of 2021, or go away, and Bluecat would find someone else to put out the game, or maybe even do it himself (gasp), but unfortunately it looks like complete bullshit now. It seems Bluecat is happy with Latecomer's (non)work, and will just keep using him as an excuse as to why nothing ever gets done.
It's funny that even in his discord he sound as he actually don't give a fuck and there are still ppl that believe this game has any future.
That is what it looks like. Clearly Bluecat doesn't give a shit one way or the other what happens to his game. If Latecomer finally releases an update, good, if not, oh well. It's not his problem. Quite a turnaround from the bombastic posts of last year where he said that Ecchi Sensei was his life, that it would be the biggest game of all time, and that he would personally do whatever it took to be sure it lived on, better and better. If Bluecat cared, he would be extremely apologetic in his status updates, and would be explaining to his fans what he personally was going to do to make a release happen. He would also be releasing new content by now, whether merged or not, rather than (supposedly) sharing a few images with his 3 top-tier supporters only.
Might just be me but, isn't it likely that Skummy is Bluecat? He talks the same, he knows exactly what Bluecat is thinking, and has the same random disappearances that he feels weirdly compelled to give a bullshit excuse for. It seems completely in character for Bluecat to be so emotionally fucked up that he can't stop himself from frequenting the forum he hates so much, yet doesn't dare to do so under his own name.
It doesn't seem very likely. Bluecat has an abrasive attitude pretty much 95% of the time, is extremely defensive and hostile to any questions. Plus, his language is pretty minimal on detail and descriptions. It is clear he doesn't write well in English. He also writes like a teenager.
Skummy, on the other hand, writes clearly like someone who is a native English speaker, or has spend much of his life in the US. I don't think he talks the same as Bluecat at all, and if you read Skummy's posts he actually admits he has no idea what Bluecat is thinking, or even what is going on. He tries, but it seems to be he is in the dark as much as the rest of us.
Bluecat could be hanging around looking at this forum for all we know, however, I can't see him posting anything coherent. But, that would assume he cares about his fans, or what anyone thinks.
