You say that as if the no "update/abandoned" group is completely out of pocket for thinking that. When a project that has significant patreon support starts really slowing down on updates, it's a familiar enough situation it raises some eyebrows.
Except that Harem Hotel has had the same rough release schedule, for years, and Runey posted about what was going on, and stated that the next release would be delayed.
The milkers rarely ever say anything.
Even when Harem Hotel's release schedule was reduced, Runey made sure to announce it so that paying subscribers would know, and could take appropriate steps.
He also advised them that he had no issues if they stopped their paid support.
He even suggested that if they still wanted to support, that they could subscribe the month that a new release came out, and then cancel the subscription
Which would limit the payment to that one single payment.
So, it is very much not a case of milking.
Runey works on this game as a side thing, and not as a main source of income, and has been very much above board on keeping people advised of any and all issues involving the release schedule.
If people chose to remain as subscribers after they were told about the new, and reduced release schedule, it was their decision.
Which is why, when people come here to the comments for this game and complain about milking, that we stand up for Runey.
Which is something that I have never seen done, in a game thread for a game where the dev is truly milking people.
