Let's look at ICSTOR from the perspective of mental health. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to defend him. In my humble option, I think that morally, he should have stopped charging money from his patreons.
First, he suffers from mental illness. True, however, you are morally obliged to your patreons. So, if you stop creating, don't charge people for money. This is a fair solution. However, everyone already knows that.
The second problem is ICSTOR's social skills, a few months ago, he declared that he hired a person to work on social media and another person for rendering. If that was true, the site would have been updated on regular bases and new renders would have popped up.
This may indicate a severe problem of working in groups or with other people. At certain point, the game had a potential to go head to head with Being a DIK. However, contrary to DPC activity, we know the results.
If people can't work with you even on professional bases, then you are have a deep problem. Either do everything yourself or quit.
Unfortunately, there is no middle ground (stalling for infinite time is not a solution, you only deny the inevitable end and lose any reputation that you have gained thus far).
