All very true...however...as a musician, I've done a couple kickstarters in the past with bands I was in, and we always came through with what we promised. Way too many devs have burned patrons over the years, and it's harder to lay trust in people, these days. Yes, patreon is meant to collect donations to support a developer in their choice of art, but patreons are still deserving of a decent product, at least in my mind. I tried out Patreon in the past, both as a creator and as a donator, and just ended up leaving due to multiple different reasons. But, point being, as right as you are, I would still think more devs would want a higher completion rate than abandoned rate. lol
