Can't disagree with any of it.Pretty low to tell people that they can un-support him on Patreon...but not pause payments yourself. He didn't pause during the last hiatus either. He has made literal thousands during these time periods. I don't like accusing devs of milking, since usually those accusations are BS, but this is definitely milking. Devs like Pandelo have been pausing payments for 2 years because they can't work on their game, if they can do it so can veq.
Anyway, this is the 2nd time he has abandoned this game. Yeah, this isn't going to be completed. It's a shame because the plot in this game is unique and well done, but making the game itself is too far out of his skillset. The game is too complex for him to make, should've been just a regular VN.
I've never called a dev a milker not even those guilty of it but I do believe this dev is one of them.
I'm all for personal responsibility especially when it comes to finances, everyone should pay attention to what is going on with their money. I say that because a lot of people back these devs then forget about it. Couple of quid here and there is hardly bank breaking to some people.
That said there are times when a dev is taking the piss and however long this was abandoned for last time plue however long it will be abandoned for this time all the while still collecting money.
That is a milker.
