You respond in the forum focused specifically for porn games and the thread of the porn game itself and don't understand why people are upset and disagree with the authors methods? Since you compared it to reactions of the Fall of Rome it's fair to say that this is the response to the Fall of Rome in a Rome Supporting Thread.
What response would have the best outcome? Rewrite Review of Game with constructive criticism? Check. Pull out of Patreon Sub? Check. Constructive criticism in the Dev's Discord just to be banned for having any critiques on his game. Check. (these don't all apply to me but apply to many in this thread complaining)
You clearly didn't do any research with this Dev, "If you are here regarding Saria Reclaimed,
the game is free until an eventual 1.0 release.I won't cater to anyone but myself regardless of sum or interest. Support is appreciated if you are happy with the direction it's heading in, but that's all there is to it." Directly from his patreon. Your comments about monetary incentive are invalid here and yes his patreon has taken a hit, setting him back more than 6 months worth of increased support.

(99% of his patreon gathering is from the creation of this game, not his original artworks.)

Invalid since the Dev has zero interest in money and zero interest in what people think about his game(according to his patreon). I believe he couldn't complete the game on his own and the project proved to be too much for him so he dropped the idea completely and opted for an easy way out by switching it to a VN. So it can be viewed as a bait and switch whether or not he meant to. Spend some time reading some reviews of the game, the ones that are more than like 1 paragraph.
