Patreon is all sorts of fucked up if you look at the number of supporters they got. Going to run a few devs past you all with their support counts combine them and compare it to Icstor.
1) Eva Kiss, creator of "GGGB" and "ORS". Two every popular games. 2,364 patrons.
2) CheekyGimp, Creator of "Where the Heart Is" Very popular game loved by many. 1,927 patrons.
3) Decent Monkey, Creator of "Fashion Business". A game with a huge fanbase, 1,883 patrons.
(All three are "Success Stories". They are all top 100 devs. Lucky ones in the sea of thousands of devs that don't make shit. I'm just doing 3 big ones as examples, but I could do dozens of little ones as an alternative example.)
Using their combined efforts these 3 have amassed 6,174 supporters currently. That is a lot of support. Good for them. Then think of all of the releases combined by those 3 in the past 2 years. Think of each and every update from those 3 combined. Really think about it... Think of how consistent and enjoyable those updates have been for so many people...
Then take a look at Icstor, and what he has done (or rather not done) in the past 2 years.
Icstor = 6,741 patrons. (Probably gonna be 7k+ again soon)
Look at this graph. Does it appear to any of you like it has dipped at all after an extended time without any release whatsoever? If I told you this was some other dev that releases regularly you would believe it. Does this look like a dev that has gone on a 2-year vacation? Those look like normal healthy numbers to me, a slight slowdown recently but still way up there with huge numbers. This is the kind of graph I'd expect from a dev with tons of regular and popular releases but then have one bad update that rubs a few people the wrong way.
I give gumdrop a lot of shit, but he is only 400 something supporters now after his piano simulator, and Icstor has over 15 times that many currently.
The truth is going to come out one way or another on July 14th.
I highly doubt he releases something that will satisfy everyone if he even releases anything at all. I hope he proves me wrong and redeems himself, not for his sake, but his supporter's sake. A lot of supporters will be extremely disappointed if he lets them down.
