Despite the failures that come with it, its due to Patreon that many creators can build at all and why the adult video game scene has seen a massive explosive. People are thirsty, thirsty motherfuckers and sometimes you do indeed get fucking burned on shit for it, actually a lot of the time you will get burned with few and far between gems shining that much brighter.
But what are you gonna do? You can just fucking not support them, but there's a bunch more thirsty fucks out there who will keep paying. People are willing to buy into the hope of decent content, its something out of the sea of renderings and bad drawings, good artwork and solid coding go a long way into getting people interested. Sometimes for the good like Summertime Saga, sometimes for the bad like Innocent Witches.
All in all, with this I just sort of forget about it for a few months, come check up on it for progress updates, then duck out for a bit longer and that's fine cause I been watching people bitch about this for two years now and that's sort of almost just as entertaining in a fucked up way. Granted, you have every right to be pissed at a creator milking this for so long, whether or nto you pay for it, but still I have every right to laugh at you all.
