I had already commented on this ... But I was told I was wrong! It is a sad reality ... And they are sad for not acquiring more patrons.
It's not that you are wrong. I don't think you are wrong.
I think you are right in that, if P and P would quit their day jobs and work 100% on making games, they would absolutely be able to crank out more scripts, images, animations and releases bi-monthly maybe even faster (instead of every 4th+ month like now). That would allow them to grow their patron base fast like they did in early 2017 (their patrons grew massively early 2017 when they cranked out a new release every second month or so). So yeah, they could do that again.
BUT what we all have to realize is that would require them to quit their day jobs and cut off a steady flow of pay checks. Given that both p and p have families and well paying jobs (IT and such), in all honestly, i think it would be crazy to do that. I mean what would you do if you had a well paying job and a family to take care of? Bet everything on a game?
I think after 3+ years of support(including the drop mid 2017), PAYING Patrons (like me) have gotten used to and accepted that: while LotV is an excellent game that is worth supporting (come hell and high water kind of attitude - especially after 2017 drop), it is a no more than a super passionate hobby of P and P. They spend all time they can on the game, giving us a release every 4th+ month or so - which is the pace they've had for more than year+ now.
However, net net, they only have so much time left on any given day to develop this game and it is always going to be a 3rd priority after family and day job.
and honestly can you blame them...
