If you've been watching how these devs have been "playing" the patrons of their games with their shenannigans, you've noticed an almost universal and continuous trend.. Which is: Tell the people an update is coming, then collect subscribers, delay..and delay..rinse and repeat. (Questionable behavior, yes, but these are porn peddlers at the end of the day. Why would you expect anything more?)
Solution is simple: Patrons need to start behaving like customers, and treat the devs like any other producers of a product, NOT A CHARITY. .... So ..You give money (subscribe) upon completion of a promised update, NOT on the days (or months) leading up to it. I have developed, or helped design similar things myself, and I find the primary resource needed is typically time, not money. So the dev's common claim that they need these "thousands" of dollars to finish a current update is probably bullshit. ..AND knowing that new subscribers are coming AFTER delivery of said updates will only motivate them to make good on their "promises".
Or everyone can continue to "donate" while waiting around as if it's a charity... and continue to get played like fiddles. It's up to you guys.
