People are still quoting that silly excuse? If he really wanted to give the "non-Emily fans something to make up for it being an Emily route update", a logical person would have just spent a little extra time adding more "non-Emily" content to this very update instead of spending an extra 3 months working on an unrelated project. Despite the claims, I highly doubt it had anything to do with the "non-Emily" fans and everything to do with just wanting to have the next project ready to go as a contingency plan in case Patreon decides to pull the plug on PL without warning.
*For the record, my issue isn't with him working on A69, it's with that senseless excuse people keep quoting.
Yeah, the excuse is kind of insulting that we're expected to be believe it. We get that Luxee feels that the PL update is underwhelming. But with the answer to that being to 1) delay it for months while not actually improving it and 2) to give us an unrelated game that many people won't play, and that very possibly will divert future attention away from PL or even completely replace it, it's a bit frustrating. If he would just come out and say "I need to take a break from PL for a few months to get this other idea out of my head," then fine. If it's "I'm worried about Patreon cracking down on my game again, so I'm hedging my bets", then also fine. As it is, it reminds me of the expression "Don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining."
I hope PL has time to finish it's key storylines. I hope that Patreon doesn't crack down anymore. I also hope that Luxee gets a chance to do the games that he wants, and to make some decent money at it. But I'm less confident that all of those things happen together.
