Not surprised this dev reputation is in the hole he had almost as many subscribers in HOM Factory and he dropped that so yeah when you do shit like that you lose any credibility. HOM Factory had less patreons but almost as much money as this one made because they paid more so that move killed his credibility.
1. Drop games
2. Do not produce updates regularly
3. Lose credibility
4. Lose patreons
Too many of these type devs have ruined it for many others so now people only subscribe to trusted devs that actually finish a game even if they did not make money on it. You need to finish a game before people will trust and subscribe and give you there hard earned money.
