Learn this guys:

Every beginning of new month due to shitty payment system of Patreon many payments gets rejected or take sometime to complete.
That, or as Jochen Gebauer from the Games / Beer podcast that I'm backing likes to say: This system attracts freeloaders (or "Brainy Smurfs" as they are called - not meant as a compliment by the way) who cancel their pledge in the final week of the month and then just sign up again in the first week of the next month.

ICSTOR is a top earner on Patreon, but, again, he's published 7 games in 4 years, all of which have had very good to excellent graphics, and he's earned the patrons he has. It's quite possible for a dev with that kind of output to experience burnout. I don't really see any clear evidence of "milking" his patrons. I do sometimes wonder about people who pledge 20+ per month...that's a lot to layout to support a game. But I think the average support is around 5 bucks a month per patron for his game. If you're putting in a buck a month, complaining about "milking" sounds ridiculous. At 10 bucks a month, I guess it's okay to bitch and moan a bit, but again, I don't see evidence he's consciously stretching things out. Shit happens.

i think that there is a lot of great games that deserve more patreon then him like betrayed and water world...etc
Dr Pinkcake made more and longer updates for being a dik and he is working in a company , so adult games are just side jobs , not to mention the intention on details with new music track every version , a lot of characters , a lot of action , in milfy city he didn't even made characters in school and town we just have the black empty character from daz.

I remember back when icstor was popping god tier updates before all this crap, everyone used to suck his dick because he had such quality updates. Then he took an arrow to the knee and is recovering. Now he has been recovering for 10 months, the arrow truly went deep he had to use 7k a month to treat it. Where did he get that 7k? From his community, his community started doubting him, saying ''dude, it's just an arrow to the knee it shouldn't take that long to recover?'' ''He should be able to work even with the injury?'' Then he came back, saying his injury has been healed. But, for some reason he kept delaying. And his community started doubting him once more, people started abandoning him, people started saying his past work was actually trash and that he was overhyped, that his quality was actually trash tier. But then a new GODTIER dev came into the scene, called DrPinkCake, with his absolutely amazing game called being a dik. That's when icstor knew...It's time for redemption, to show those people that abandoned him just how godly he can be. So he started working hard, adding things his community never thought he would add. Now his trustyworthy community that stayed (And the freeloaders like me) just have to wait....for his come back..
