basically the dev says - i do it for fun, sponsor me if you want / like it, if you don't who cares / blow me
there is no direct relation between work delivered and money earned
very artistically orientated individual
impressive he didn't abandon the work yet
guess will follow you for as long as we can stomach it
I don't know if you posted this as a negative or a positive, but this is how I feel about Patreon developers in general (And one day, if I get enough courage to start my own game, how I will feel about it myself.)
I see Patreon as a way to support a developer that you like, not as a transaction like buying a normal game.
You don't buy a game, the developers time, a finished product... or anything.
If your think about it rationally, You can by the best game in the world for $60. So most Patreon supported are spending way more then the game's worth on the dev. (So technically a loss for the supporters)
The flipside is that a developer can earn $4000 - $10000 per month working a normal job with very little stress. (So PAtreon is also a loss for most developers)
You are basically supporting a artist that you like that you want to see continue working on something you love. Like throwing a buck to a street musician. He does not owe you anything and you also don't owe him anything.
You're sentiment reflects 100% my own and I wish posters on here will see it the same. (I view your post as a positive)
Obviously if you start making $5000 per month etc. I do feel that some obligations are rightfully expected from the dev in terms of timelines etc.
