This statement is untrue, and would only come off of those who only started following this game's progress in the past 2 years or so. When the game first started off, updates were between 2-3 months. It thereby slowly became once every 4-5 months once their Patreon support numbers was up, and then 6 months odd with the most recent updates. There are also barely any updates from the dev in their discord group aside from some lip service, save for some monthly art to stave off the mob.
The dev used to set dateline as to when each versions would release, but when the dev started being unable to meet those deadlines without updating their progress (or reasons) and were called out for it (they literally posted about going on holidays and having no time and such), they would chide the Patreon members before berating them and telling them "shit happens; deal with it", which was rude and uncalled for towards those whom had been paying for and supporting the game. This game thus became a shit show where one side would frequently come out and question the status of the game with demoralizing and angry comments, while the other who would stick up for the devs and whatnot hoping for the continuation of the game.
I agree that the updates did come out initially every 2 to 3 months, but that was years ago.
I had started playing it with my original account, but lost access to the email used to sign up, and the password, so I created this one to start over again.
Could you please quote the date and post where the dev told the Patreon followers that shit happens, in such a rude way?
Otherwise, I don't think that many here will believe it, without proof that can be looked up and proven...
I ask, because when the last update was released, it was very friendly, and in no way rude.
The same can be said for the status post a week before that was letting people know that the game would soon be released.
"Hi everyone! v0.20 is now available for Mythic Admirer patrons! I absolutely enjoyed testing this update this past week and Jikei and I hope you will have a blast playing all of the new content!
Let us know your favorites!!!!

Additionally, from their discord channel, they even advise people who cannot support them monetarily to share the game with friends for free.
Experience has shown that people who are milking games, don't normally tell people to give the game to their friends, for free.
From their frequently asked questions section of the discord channel.
"Q: I can't support Mythic Manor monetarily. Is there anything I can do to help?
A: Of course! Sharing the game with your friends or communities can be a massive help, since we mostly get new players through word of mouth.
On top of sharing the game, some of the most valuable contributions you can give to us are feedback and suggestions. As thanks, we will give those who report bugs and give feedback frequently the Avid Tester role and other rewards and perks like special previews. (edited)

And we will throw this in there too.
Also from the FAQ, Frequently asked questions on their discord channel.
"Q: Can I cancel or reduce my pledge on Patreon?
A: You are free to cancel, reduce or increase your pledge at any time, but this may cause you to lose certain rewards. For $50 Mythic Master tier, you can cancel or reduce your pledge at any time and still receive permanent access."
So, they even tell people up front that being a recurring subscriber is not important, and that people can make a one time donation, and immediately cancel the subscription.
With $50 donations being permanent lifetime members, even if the person decides to later cancel the subscription on Patreon.
