do they still even get enough money from pulling this to begin with? I get it, 'free money today pls'... but in the long run this will ruin their reputation if it hasn't done so already and in 4-5 years instead of a business they'll have to close up shop because nobody will give them the time... it seems like the logical thing is to work (even a teeny tiny bit to prolong this) and engage with the audience from time to time. Even if you want to scam people, there are ways to properly do it to get profit on the long run.

Every sane person already lost all trust to this dev, only new fans or the ones that only knows the remake keep supporting him, that's why some people are begging for news and other went silent. You can even see that the comments of the only news they wrote, theres no new comments praising them, everyone just asking whats the status of the development.
