i agree with you...with regards to not berating him, i used to be a monthly pledger to him, then it became a per update pledge, then i eventually stopped since his updates were basically once every 6 months at best... So i stopped.
in terms of him having extended breaks...i think this may be different because, this looks like Patreon investigating his page as compared to Serio actually pausing it.
what i dont get is, out of all the adult games from Patreon, Serios game, is probably the least offensive...there is no incest or beastiality... im not sure exactly what they could be investigating for such a long time...
but alas, i dont want to seem like a pessimist, but it does feel like this might be the end...i'm hoping not cos i really like this main game OHA,
