Mate, obviously I don't know much about his personal life, no one here actually do. But there's 1 important thing here, that you forgot, this is his full time job, meaning he's supposed to spend a lot of time working on this game. Yet he keeps making empty promises, keeps doing same stuff, over and over again, and the only thing he keeps saying every time that happens is "sorry/sorry, but it's necessary" and the sad truth is, he's not even sorry IMO. He's not on a tight schedule anymore since summer, there's no pressure coming from "tight deadline", what else does he need then to deliver on his promises? 3 years ago he had 2-3 k supporters on patreon, even considering those "tight deadlines" he had back then, he still released new update every 1-1.5 month on average, delays were extremely rare back then and the content wasn't cut off every time. He understands, that if he released full update in this month, not many people would support him in December. The criticism he receives is well deserved for the most part, you can't deny that, when you know the full contextyou are a little right
but you don't know his life personally so calm down and stop saying he's a scammer
and I myself do not know him personally I do not judge directly
