That is easy to answer. Eva had more or less decided to post the Ian update alone, then some hardcore fanbois began their yapping, which infected others. Then Eva made the mistake to cave in for these fulltime whistle buoys.
Had she released as she wanted to, yes, some guys would have been incensed, but that would have blown over soon. Because a)there would have been new ORS stuff out there for patrons and wider audience alike after a draught, showing that ORS is not dead but on it´s way and b) several self-censored devs like L&P, ICSTOR, gumdrop or Slonique show that even the most vocal patrons can be treated like idiots and still pay. While Eva is a far more nice developer than these greedy clowns, caving in to the demands of some very vocal patrons on essential things is a clear mistake! It is one thing to include some wished for scenes or special wallpapers, but another to let the patrons dictate you what to and when to release.
What has this kotau got us? The last new ORS material was over a year ago, Eva´s reputation as a reliable developer has now some deep scratches, many of the wider audience have lost interest due to the long interval and many on the fence will now hesitate to commit to the game because of this draught and the knowledge that some vocal fanbois can force Eva to do their bidding.
