Sucks but fair enough I guess. At least it's better than abandoning the game, how much better remains to be seen when I actually play this update, but yeah hope he gets his life sorted. Life do be life sometimes.
Welp, I personally have to disagree on the "better than abandoned" bit there. While abandoned means "it's gonna just abruptly stop and most likely won't get finished", it's in general still better to play a game being half-done with some semblance of a buildup and pacing, than one where the dev decided to scatter all that to the wind, bullrush to an ending for the sake of calling it "complete", when that in and of itself might cause a whole lot more damage to the entire experience.
Besides, it's not been entirely unheard of that games that received the abandoned tag were eventually picked up on again.
Regardless, sad to see that the game went this way, never supported it because I wanted to see where it went for a bit longer, but it had some decent potential and at least had some fucking soul put into it, despite being pretty rough at various places.
