They do, I have a smol patreon of my own where I post some smut and lewd art, even back in the first days I got a nastygram from them informing me I had to hide everything lewd, even though it was simply some pdf files of smut.
And surprise, they are from leechers.
Ayep. "I paid nothing and I am disappointed!"And surprise, they are from leechers.
The game was being criticized for lame content updates that didn't deliver on expectations set by the early patches. The team course corrected and Sierra left as a consequence. If you're not financially dependent on a single project so it's easy to leave when things don't go your way.
Sometime before the release of 0.6. The reason has been left vague so everyone is just guessing, but it mostly seems like sierra really wanted to go for the politics driven game play with a large cast of characters and factions as promised at the start of the project, while the feedback from the community wanted a focus on scenes and a few main actors.
Or to put it more bluntly based on what the conversation here tended to be like, "I am upset Sabia isn't gobbling ALL the cock". >_>
As a few people mentioned, Sierra and Nomo only gave us all a pretty vague reason behind why they ended up splitting. That said, the writing was on the wall for a while. By that point releases had slowed down, when new updates came out they were lacking much content, and it just felt like the enthusiasm from the developers had died down. I think Sierra and Nomo just came to have differing ideas for where they wanted KoD to go.
i have to admit i feel the same way. i had fun till after the trial then it got a little bit boring, too much reading too few scenes, especially with sabia.
