It's a shame really what happen, but then again I never expected this game to go so long considering the snail pace story progression.
However ripping out so much of 8 year long development could really fell this game, abandoning Patreon means all the people paying and forgetting about this would be lost. Tricky situation
They either be very careful about the snuff edition getting leaked out to avoid the ban or go full safe mode and stop active development. Maybe it gets mod support to add it back in and keep some development there going in the side door with 3 party.
Oh well, at least Helaynia is getting some more content I guess
