I can easily imagine it. Look at the prices for changing corporate logos, you will be surprised how much it cost and how many changes were made. Any person can cope with the task having not only Photoshop, but Paint. In fact, it is a problem that some programmers may do nothing, but since the management does not quite understand the specifics of the work, they will be sure that he works a lot.
If you go back far enough into the patreon posts, I remember him also quoting Stephen King. You know, the Stephen King, the same one that writes one book every year.
He also loves to compare himself to Hemingway.
It's all really just a pretentious act designed to reinforce the idea among his supporters that he is some type of creative genius laboring away on his smut magnum opus who deserves unlimited, eternal patronage without being subject to such base concerns as time constraints, deadlines or production requirements.

At least he would have been honest about his inspirations, especially if quoting Rothfuss.

Doesn't seem to work. All options just direct me to where I can lower pledge or unpledge. (No, I am not pledging to support him)
Next time he'll figure out that it's better to choose Martin or Tolkien. Or not.
Or Tolstoy: the guy rewrote War and Peace at least seven times, long-hand, ink on paper.
(Yes, it would be a better novel with illustrations from the lovely Victoria...)

I give him credit for keeping the earnings public. He could scam even harder by hiding them and pretending the slow delays are for lack of funding but will still "get it done."

War and Peace was not hot enough.
guys for sure we are getting a crazy big,huge update soon fr fr
It seems he's hiding Patreon usernames on comments now. So transparent!
I'm surprised anyone is still backing this project with money. The devs seem to be milking you. If they are even doing the things they post about in these "transparency" notices, they have gotten lost in the minutia.

Even the responses on the patreon seem to be turning against him now. I think he shot himself in the foot when he posted that "5 scenes left to edit before release" update a month ago. Now even the most gullible supporters have something direct to point to underneath these "we've been overhauling systems nobody cares about" updates.
I just hope and pray that if the future ( i say future because the span time is from now to infinite time) it's dogshit (it will be) and dosn't advance history (it wont) those who kept supporting him start rioting and withdrawing funds.
Even then some of them are so naive that they want to expect the best completely ignoring the fact that the more this goes the longer the more profitable it becomes for Crush. They said right, foolishness is far dangerous than evil.

Honestly it's almost worth this becoming a Coffeezilla investigation now.
