i mean to begin with the big issue is that they are using stolen art assets from Japanese artists and games and making money off it and then pretending like it takes them time and work to actually make stuff.
ITs not like harame sim. that used assets yes was a fully free and volunteer project and noone there made any patreon type money begging pages for the game
Who cares if they patreon beg, don't give them your money and the problem is solved. Just also don't expect regular progress. It's hard to make regular progress, if you aren't working on a software project for many hours even just scripting renpy. On top of this if you ever want the project to not be just stolen art assets they'll need money to do that.
The flip side is that a lot of authors know thirsty idiots of all types will drop money on projects if they promise to make an H game like the biggest ones but just for them. This leads to people who don't have the capability wildly over-promising, and in order to keep that sweet sweet money flowing they keep over-promising even when they're already lost. Since a lot of people know basically nothing about software dev, they accept the over-promising and just pay more and more because one foot or futa jpg got added.
Until the community stops paying for this shit or the sites hosting games create tags and standards for projects it's going to be something people need to watch out for themselves.
