ITT: People surprised to discover that obligations of a Patreon-funded SW developer are only enforced by good faith.
I've always wished that there was some kickstarter-style platform for this stuff: dev could set a $ target for creating the next version (with a defined list of features/scope of work) and once the $ target is hit, they start working on it. If they don't release it in the promised timeline (or don't provide all promised features), everyone gets refunded (partially, based on % of features/scope actually delivered).
May sound more restrictive from a developer point of view, but I'd actually wager it would make a lot more people willing to part with their money for adult games. It's called give and take. Want more money? Create accountability.
