There is no joy or relief on my part in seeing the Abandoned tag.
Absolutely deserved for SirD, ofc.
But I still feel a strong sense of sadness, as of now.
I'll get over it.

lol that's not how it works.
You seem to be misunderstanding the whole point of Patreon itself.
The platform is a modern take on the classic concept of "patronage."
Historically, artists such as painters, musicians, and authors sometimes relied on wealthy donors' patronage to finance their work.
Patreon takes that core concept and enables a much larger audience to finance artists and content creators they like at affordable monthly rates.
So basically, what patrons did before and still doing are making an investment in the content creator.
They like the dev's work and (those who can and decides to) wish to support him/her by giving the dev virtual tips.
It's not a "I gave you X, so you must give me Y" transaction as you are implying with "dev is not doing what he's paid for." Onus is completely on the patrons themselves whether they're wise enough to stop supporting the dev who may be scamming them.
And for those who still decide to support the said dev, despite scammy behavior i.e. they still somehow think it's worth the investment, well it is what it is (shrugs).

I'm just poking fun of the situation. The abandoned tag changes absolutely nothing. I just found it amusing that so many people here seem to have made it their mission to get the mods to add the tag like it was gonna make any difference at all. Not like SirD or Alorth give a flying fuck what a bunch of randoms in F95 say about their work ethic...
And anyone that understands how Patreon works knows that nothing will change over there either.

OMFG NO WAY, this was a masterpiece, one of the best novels, fuck, now ima really sad :/
Oh look, it's that deliberately fallacious argument again. I guess all those devs who actually deliver stuff are just a bunch of retards who "don't know how Patreon works", according to you. Silly rabbits, they should just sit on their ass and take the money their patrons are giving them. There is always one more...
I mean..if the DEV have not Post ANYTHING since agost in patreon and he still gets to earn almost $4K a month, well..maye and, hear me out, MAAAAYBE the patreons are retards.

Yup, and Abandoned tag also doesn't necessarily mean it's actually abandoned for some devs.
Hypothetically, if a dev had gotten into an accident, and it took couple of months to recover, or there's other IRL crisis going on with the dev that leaves him inactive for at least 3 months, the said game's thread will still get the "abandoned" tag even if there's no ill intent from dev to try and scam anyone.
And when that dev is back, the abandoned tag will be removed, and things will get back to normal.
So abandoned here doesn't always mean it's actually abandoned. It depends.

Yeah, there are lots of other games to play on here. I know of one that just came out last night... but I'm not promoting anyone in particular... Lots of other great games on here to try.
This is what you get when you use the most greedy dev/artist Alorth. Who works an a ton of games and comics

There is no fallacy here. It works on a reputation game system.
People trust you, you deliver because you want them to trust you in the future, and because you deliver they trust you again.
As long as people value their future enough, they will deliver. The moment they don't, reputation is lost and no more product is done.
Game theory 101.

Back in March I saw the Alpha release and was like "I can wait the three or so weeks for the full release."
From the start, I pointed out how that dev acted with little ethics: two different pages for two games ("because it was a collab"), and using the fact that he's making two games as an excuse to have very slow updates (as it was very slow from the beginning). I'm sorry but if you demand money separately for each game, people have the right to expect normal releases for both. Except they were successful anyway, because people are people.
Then of course, it got worse. It's usually kinda hard gaining patrons initially (especially in the thousands), even if this game did it miraculously fast. But once you have that patrons base that is paying, a lot stay under most circumstances (without even mentioning those that forgot they were subscribed). So now the devs are living the life doing shit, that's how it works and there's little to do about it.
