Support should only be given to those who deserve it and not to the ones who came up with fancy, mouth-watering ideas with no game play to show for and in that regard, what I mean by "bait" should be pretty obvious. A demo is a showcase of a game play loop in which a player will be spending most of his time. In the case of "Female Agent" and "The Fixer", that is the part basically corresponds to their "main mission" as written in the description of these games, the part neither of them currently have.
When someone asks for monetary support on Patreon etc. for a project that will clearly take more than three months to complete (which is Patreon's deadline for refunds), without giving any deadline for completion, it should immediately be seen as a red flag for anyone who considers supporting it, due to its high risk of exploitation. Which, by the way, seems to be the case for many game projects here, including the aforementioned ones.
