Why would they? Her fanbase is still paying for her entire life. And she only needs to put in like, 2/3rds of the hours she'd need to with a real job. Maybe less than that.
What would be really funny is if it turns out she's actually a decent developer. Then all this work that's taking hundreds of hours was probably done in a couple days. She'd be working like, one or two days a week, only on weeks she doesn't take off, for years. That would be ridiculous, and I'd be forced to respect it. Like, she makes it sound like she's struggling to rework a simple part of the game, spends four months "working on it" but it was really done over a weekend and the rest was just spent doing whatever because fuck it. That'd be impressively awful lol
But lets be honest, that's not the case. If it was, the workflow would make some measure of sense.
