Just one look at my comment history should be enough to tell you that I hate devs that milk their subscribers. I hate the patreon pay model that incentivizes milking in the first place and I hate the braindead subscribers that enable these scummy devs to get by with 2-3 hours of work a week.
Jorogr is a wonderful dev and he is not milking his patrons.
From Day 1, he has been open about the fact that this is his first game, he's learning how to use Unity as he goes, and he's doing it entirely alone. His communication is excellent and he frequently polls his patrons to help him decide what to prioritize. His subscribers know exactly what to expect from a new update - often months ahead of time.
Ultimately, it comes down to this: Is this dev making so much money that they don't need to work a full-time job anymore, or do they still have to spend 40 hours as a wageslave every week? This game is developed as a passion project during his free time and he is not trying to hide that fact from anyone.
