Current support for the dev's wallpaper business on patreon is like 200 $ per month. This would be ok for a living if he had like 50 such wallpaper games which would give 10,000 $ per month for 50 wallpapers. (Then apply tax etc ...)I have a theory that ED was never meant to be completed.
This dev was on Deviant Art for 6-7 years before ED first dropped. Trying to sell wallpapers. Somehow he got the idea that if he could only add the "magic" ingredient of VN game immersion, those wallpapers would be more profitable.
I say this because when I was a patron, I bumped heads with him when I thought he focused too much on wallpapers rather than the actual game.
ED was a huge critical success. Almost everyone who liked it, loved it.
But since making such a quality game is so demanding on a Dev and there appeared to be a viable profit-option now with wallpapers pertaining to ED...
Here we are. A tragedy it came to this.
As for a single game imho it is nonrelevant and should be better seen as a (deserved) tip then a business.
