Anyone who doesn't need other people's money to make a game is f-in rich. I don't believe any rich person would dabble in making these types of renpy games. There's much more interesting hobbies to pursue.
Most of people that make these kind of games are doing it as a hobby. That it's why most of them remaining unfinished, people get bored and just start doing other things.

It's understandable, last time he talked about people uploading the game before it should be accessable to the public and the way most users here responded made it clear he couldn't continue. The typical braindead responses and the fact that the game was peaking revenue wise on patreon makes me sad, there are a bunch of games that are half as finished as this one with worse/less work put into them that earned the same amount of revenue. GL dev, hopefully you find success elsewhere.

People in a pirate forum when they find out developers can't make a living when their game gets stolen and released for free against their will:

To be fair, Stray Incubus was probably THE game which leaked the earliest with a relative small number of paying Followers. There are other games here which leak really quickly, but those Devs usually have the income to not care too much about it (e.g. Eternum leaked within minutes after the Release for the highest Tier, but Caribdis makes enough money to not have financial problems because of that). Stray Incubus however did not have that much income, but still leaked very quickly.

Obviously you can discuss whether or not the Dev could have done something against that - and it was discussed multiple times here. But sadly the fact is that a game with a relatively small following leaking that quickly was indeed the issue. Not that it leaked per se.

nahhhh i would not say it leaked early no no no

he had 2 higher tiers, and on these two it never leaked.
it usually leaked 3 weeks after first release because that was the time the thirt lowest supporter got access so the NORMAL paying users so to say.
