It would be a good joke, except for the fact that dozens of developers of popular AVN games decide once they get a few thousand a month on Patreon, to milk their fans to death by performing years or even multiple years of reworking all their old content, never while splitting their time generating any new content of course, because of ...reasons, Heavy Five, Murmur, Summer's Gone, WIAB, cough, cough.
It's less a joke, than a cliche. Right up their with my video card died or my dog ate my homework.
