You're not necessarily wrong to think that way... but the ironic vicious circle feedback loop is that, if more people start waiting until games are completed, devs won't get feedback or Patreon support, making it even more likely for games to get abandoned early on.
You should ask the dev, this is his greatest skill.
The problem is we've been shit on by devs far too many times.
Reported it as abandoned since the dev's accounts no longer exist, but the moderators rejected it. I don't know what their criteria is for putting an On Hold game as abandoned, but I would've thought that the dev no longer existing would have been enough.
in my opinion new developers should have at least one finished project in their portfolio before actually setting up patreon and ask people for money.
Seems some of the mods don't like doing their job.
Wasn't brining in a huge amount but it was growing quite steadily.
I don't believe that story with ex-gf personally, most of the devs who give up their games make up dramas and excuses but the real reason is that they either wanted to earn more money or they simply lost interest in making the game.
