Stopping mean no more (free) money. Would you stop something like that if you get 20 or 30 or $40k a month for doing nothing? (I'll help you: The answer is "nope".)
As you claim the answer to be "nope", does this represent your own answer to the question? Are you saying that if more than 6000 unique people would give you their hard-earned money every month, under the assumption that this money will pay your bills while you are working on something those people want, you would also start putting in as little effort as possible to keep the money rolling instead of working to the best of your abilities to make those people happy?

If you think "nope" is the correct answer you should probably reconsider your moral compass, as many people go above and beyond for their job, not only because they love what they do but because its an awesome feeling getting a paycheck and knowing you actually deserve it.

The only case where I could see the answer being "nope" would be if a billionaire would be the one giving the money to make himself feel good for being a "generous" person.

Ahh my bi-monthly checkin only to see the same stuff with zero updates. Guess I better move it to an anual check-up. We really won't be seeing an update until the new year rofl. Making it 1 update a year. A FULL YEAR for a renpy game when games like cod are pushed out 1x a year. Why haven't patreons stopped supporting that FRAUD?

The last update came in Dec. 2019...
Until January 2020 the progress bar on his page went to 80% and there it is probably still at the end of the time
The game is abandoned and the only thing that can convince me otherwise is a content update within this month,
with a playing time of at least 3 hours and new content for Mom, Sarah, Judith and Celia as well as 2 sidegirls
Anything else would be unjustifiable in view of the long wait

Has there been any work-in-progress renders released anywhere? I haven't seen any.

So, just a moving progress bar is all? In a year!?
The only renders shared came from Baron, a guy from around here that he hired for that purpose only, and ICStor admitted that the only progress done on the game came from contractors like Baron... so yeah he used the work of others to advertise a game that'll never see completion unless ICStor decides to hand over the project to the team of contractors he has amassed until now

Some of you seems like you have never before heard about people accepting money for nothing.
If you've been around for a while you should know that especially with these types of games on patreon I'd say 50% is sort of a scam. This is not specifically about ICSTOR but it's nearly the average for devs on Patreon

The routine seems to be to attract a following by giving some decent updates and then start with a million excuses why the last update after 4 months were only 5 minutes of gameplay. Then the dev either gets sick, move across country, gets a new job, mother, father and grandmother dies, needs more money for a more powerful computer to make more then 5 minute updates although the computer worked just fine in the first updates. Of course the computer dies and so on.

So ICSTOR have 6000 paying Patreons after not releasing anyting in almost a year?

ICSTOR put a poll out a while ago, asking his patrons if they want a continuation of Milfy City or a brand new thing. They voted to see something new. So he started Project X. Milfy City is obviously put on hold. But this does not mean that it is dead. He might continue with it. But currently his efforts are probably on the new project (I guess).
I doubt very much that the people who became patrons specifically because of Milfy City told him to start a new project, personally.

But since one would need to drink the purple kool-aid to see the results of this poll I guess I'll take your word for it.

*edit* or not, since the poll was copied here:

https://f95zone.to/threads/milfy-city-v0-6e-icstor.8012/post-4167699

Definitely not a case where the patrons voted to start something new willingly.

It's like a choice between a kick in the balls or a bullet to the head.
