There are games out there that are updated Monthly. One that comes to mind is "Straitened Times". I believe there have only been a few months that it wasn't. There are Multiple characters with Multiple story lines in that game. Each month about 5 or 6 characters are updated each month. So I know it can be done. Yes I know not everyone's life is the same. If "Straitened Times" can get a update out Monthly. Then others should be able to at least get an update out every 2 months. Beyond that your scamming for money. (Unless the dev is dead or in the Hospital)There has to be other ways for those devs to make money while making their games.
I mean I do understand that they need to pay bills etc while making those games but there are plenty of successful indie developers making normal non-pron games who are not making money on subscriptions like Patreon.
Paying a fixed price for a finished game then buy updates and additional contents as DLCs should work too.
Instead of paying hundreds of dollars over many years for a game that the developer may will abandon. That's just silly and irrational but then again people are paying millions for NFTs...
Interesting new tag for this game. All I can say is "ABOUT DAMN TIME!"
