Assuming all 7k of those pledges are just doing one dollar just in a single month that should instantly be enough money to get a beast ass comp. Even if you took bills and other stuff into account you'd be able to get everything you'd need within 3 months. Considering he does this full time, thus his income is reliant on it common sense should tell you that's literally the first thing you need to invest in. Really there shouldn't be any excuse as to why he'd have under-performing hardware.I can't help but notice he has 7k patreons and months upon months including the delays in development. That's not much of an excuse. He has more than enough in donations to acquire more than amicable tools to complete renders in a timely manner. I personally have professional grade tools to do my work (ie High-end PC, programs, art tablets, 3d and poster printers) and I make only a fraction of what Icstor makes via patreon. Granted, I do my work as a hobby and not my primary source of income.
This guy just seems like the type that tries stringing patreon supporters on as long as he can doing the minimalist amount of work. It'd be like having a complete patch done but then lying the entire time and only releasing a quarter of it every 6 months. Seems like that dude has a ton of excuses. So we either have to make the argument he's grossly incompetent OR he's BSing and milking patreon supporters. Granted, I can't blame him. If I had 7 thousand mindless idiots not only putting up with the milking but defending me for milking them I'd take my sweet time too.
