Sadly splitting these games into seasons has become quite common these days, but I think Lust Theory was actually one of the first games doing that.
The gain for the dev is that they can put part of the game on commercial platforms before the game is finished, thereby not only relying on patreons / supporters. Especially Steam is a good source of income, but other platforms (gog, itch.io) also sell the seasons.
And people are more ready to spend 10$ now, 15$ for each season 2 and 3 in the two years after that than 40$ at once for a adult visual novel.
