I usually side with devs when people start complaining because I know how hard it is to make a game and how long it actually takes, and that this "just hire more people to make the game for you" is not that easy - good, trustworthy workers are hard to find, and a good DAZ3D artist for example (and there aren't many of them) can take a good chunk of your payment (up to 10K).
ICSTOR was never depressed, he just didn't want to work on this game anymore. Working on something you don't like anymore can make you feel depressed, I've been there, so I understand this, but spending several months not working one bit on your game and lying about it is disgusting. That being said, it was pretty obvious he was doing this, and that the game releases started to come like once a year, so if people want to pay for that that's their problem. I see a lot of people here (who steal games btw) getting angry when I think they are just jealous of how much he makes for so little work. If you have to be mad with someone be mad at the patrons who support this kind of work, but I assure you they are all old enough to decide how to spend their own money.
Plotting to make him lose his page/game/money is also disgusting. Let the man do his job and let people pay for it if they want, stop trying to hurt someone else's life/wallet.
Abandoning projects is a classic in the game development community, I think ICSTOR is taking the right step here realizing his problem and deciding to make smaller games.
And if anyone wants to remake or continue this game, just do it - call it a fan game, a parody or whatever, no one will care, you don't have to go after the rights of the game.
