Not really, this place hardly contain any hard fan or worshiper, his signature is already sarcasm itself and so dose his reply to yours, just for shit and giggle don't think too much about it
You hardly need to question any of their action at this point, they are even more 'professional' milker than Alex himself (aka YanDev, although he didn't deserve the Dev card anymore so I just call him by name)
Eman didn't doing much shit-talk and socially interaction outside of their lair, all they need is keep feeding their cost-sunken-list with wall-of-text that may or may not relate to their technical advancement in the game while release as bare minimal update as possible to imply their works are really difficult and hard to push out each step, regretfully, most of people backing him buy that and stay hold him up by the mechanic of sunken-cost-fallacy that keep them in the limbo of profiting between the very thin line of actual talent developer that work really hard and a glorious scam that happen to be good at art.
If you would hope, out of miraculous chance that something would happening like Alex's treatment, it rather slim-to-nonexistence for those actually very passionate to create(or recreate) the likes of Eman and compete with them.
And the chance that they'll redeem themselves with the release of actually finish and polished product are almost the same. You can bet your ass that they also clearly self-aware of what they're doing, no human being would never question their action with time taken this long and would still think perfectly clean about them and so dose themselves but they stick with it anyway, bare minimal work for a stable income, why not ?
Why rush release a complete product when you can sell bullshit as sustainable rate and people would still buy them anyway ? This type of long-dragging development corrupted many talents that would have shown a community of their effort and their achievement, instead turn them into money hunger leech that care more about their own financial freedom than to release a masterpiece that could possibly become a legend that everyone would keep talk about into unforeseeable ... they would still dose, but surely not in a good way.
They choose to ignore all the controversy outside of their community completely because it yield them no any benefit so they can focus on what they did best like a 'professional' they're.
It just a reality we currently living in now, either keep watch until they can redeem themselves, forget them completely or wait and see if they'll actually got competition like Alex's treatment one day. In some alternate reality Eman team would already become an absolute legend in adult game dev's community, but surely not in our reality, it is what it is.
