The possible causes of the possible abandonment of the game milfy city are very clear.There obviously gonna be a lot of abandoned games from patreon since patreon is the main platform that all these developers can get known and make a living out of creating games. And because of that reason the competition rises and a lot of those devs stop because they don't make enough money (usually) to make it their work or for some other reason. So saying that most patreon based games are abandoned is wrong because you don't factor the fact that most devs are starting from patreon. Also specifically about icstor even though a lot of people say he rushed his last games and finished them quickly you have to factor in other things like the decrease of his patreon the last months those games where developed. If as a dev you see that a big chunk of your followers stop supporting you understand something is wrong. So judging the fact that his next game is on ren'py and that most big games are also on ren'py he rushed the games so that he can change platform and make his next game more accessible. Last year when those games where developed he had about 1000 patreons while developing two games. This year he has almost 6000 patreons and one of the reasons is the change to ren'py. So you can understand why he would want to rush the other games.
But I think there is also another possible reason: currently the number of visitors to the game are about 12 million and considering that of 50 visits 1 single person can download, after those who download there is a 1/100 rat to make contributions (US $5, on average), because they were at ease and hoping for updates 12 000 000*(1/50*1/100)*($5)= $12 000 dollars.
Which I think is quite a gain for a SINGLE for a few months of dedication.
