Yeah definitely not the best, but the problem would be the billing if he did leave it on. For all the dev cares he could say nothing at all and just release the updates. It's a porn site not a stable subscription to a service by a company. Would I like the dev to be more active? Of course, but simply pausing billing is leagues better than most devs that go silent leaving billing on or post progress reports with very little content to milk as much money as they can. From the images it looks like there's a sizeable amount of content the dev worked on (unless it's just those scenes isolated to lie?).
But billing being off really indicates to me that at least he's a decent human being and wants to develop a game. Let's hope whatever is preventing it goes away or we get an update from the dev.
Yes, I agree that he is a lot better than other devs just for pausing billing, but I also think if someone was deciding if they want to subscribe, this could push them to decide against it, a bit of communication and transparency, in a community where games are mostly not finished, is what pushes a dev to be more successfull, of course, they have to back it with good work, but I don't think a dev that will be off the radar for 3 months on the "official" site where people sub to him and the billing takes place, will be trusted by that many users.
I for one wouldn't even think about paying him in this circumstances, I'd expect any dev that I'm subbed to, to update and comunicate regularly, and not need to check on multiple sites to know if he is still goin or not...
I don't know if a lot of people does this, but for me, this site is where I discover and try the games before thinking about supporting a dev, and will never join a Discord, the only place where I will look is Patreon, I'm here to discover and try games before deciding if I like the dev, probably 99% of them will never be completed, so if I see even the slightest hint that he is not regular enough, even if it turned to be my favourite game in the site, I'm not risking it (until completed, then I's probably make a 1 time payment to give the dev my appreciation at least, not the best, but that's all I can give, I'm not rich, and I'll not gift money knowing most of them will abandon, or drop quality heavily at some point, seen it happen too many times).
