-First they intentionally wait for next Patreon payment date pass before releasing the updateI wouldn't be so sure about it being unintentional... You know, I was a patron for quite a bit of time, and while I was growing increasingly annoyed by aforementioned issues, I was still supporting him. But let me tell you what was the last straw, that actually made me quit. After one of the updates I made a comment there, about him intentionally dragging the whole corruption, and adding scenes with the crew instead, just to not make patrons too angry. Because even if not princesses, at least it's something, right? No hate, no disrespect, just wrote it feels like this and I don't like it. And I wasn't alone, there were people upvoting it. The problem was, instead of replying to this comment, or even just ignoring it as some grumbling, after few hours they deleted it. So they were aware of the issue, yet chose to silence critique instead of actually doing something about it.
Also yes, chapter 1 was well built, and for example there was whole Rapunzel character added as a patron quest, and it only took 2 updates to finish the corruption? And now look at CH2 - The latest patron quest is actually finishing corrupting princess that was already there and you were already in the process of corrupting. Literally last chunk of main storyline was sliced and presented as "patron exclusive". It is way worse if you think about it for a while.
-Then make half of the game "Patreon exclusive"
-Then making early access 3 weeks before anyone else for 15$ a month, without updates even being once per month
-Stopping communications with community, going on F95, asking to translate their game for free and disappear with all possible ways of communication closed
-Break save files for people who've used Patreon codes that's been extracted from the game files and not posted on Patreon, possibly affecting people who were or still are subscribed, but also reading F95 thread
-And now deleting the posts with critics on Patreon page lol
Well, feels more and more like "give us your money and fuck off" kind of behavior. Sad, but the game is still one of the best ones out there for me
