I'm a patron of theirs, actually (probably pledging more than you, but thats beside the point). Most of the people that comment on their patron will tell them to take all the time they need no matter what they said, just short of "We aren't going to work on the game anymore but we still want your money"It's their money and they choose to whatever they want with it, there's not a single comment on MITY's latest post about someone being disappointed. How come the ones that pay don't care about delays and the ones who pirate the game care the most? Mindblowing to me.
You're absolutely right that people can do with their money as they please, just as people are free to criticize what is an easily observable pattern of delays and empty excuses.
This game is arguably one of the best of its kind and that's let them build up quite a bit of good faith with fans of the game but over the past year or so its become clear that, for one reason or another they've realized that they can get away with pretty much anything because people like this game so much that they're much more lenient than perhaps they should be. And that kind of good faith can be easily exploited so long as they make a post alluding to some vague emotional/mental issues and "we're sorry and we'll do better in the future" posts.
I want to continue to support this game but I don't think it's unreasonable to point out that almost every build nowadays is delayed and the reasons given indicate a problem that they just aren't fixing
