If a patron thinks of himself as an enabler, and he wishes to do so, that's fine by me.
For every other patron - they do see if there are results coming or not and can choose to stop giving him money, cant they?..........
Wasn't going to reply to the dude because of the mental gymnastics going on to justify the defence. Shit i've already said as well.
Rnest definitely checks these forums so there is no need to tell him directly and he 100% already knows what he dose wrong. Hes been doing this for at least 2 years, not just a year since the last release i documented.
A metaphor to it (something i brought up before), is imagine a un-refundable Amazon package you ordered and every month they tell you a delivery date, then make you wait up to that day or past it, then tell you its delayed a few days until its cancelled and a new delivery date is issued. Then this process is repeated 8 times throughout a full year with still no delivery.
You have to have no respect or even self respect to put on that performance we received throughout. There was Zero respect to his fans which should be met with the exact same respect given.
Everyone has shown extreme patience over respect for the first game but even if its free for everyone being told to get your hopes up weekly for a release is insane. Anyone that had that second delivery date missed by amazon would be cussing out their support team.
Now if the posts written were, 'im finishing the game' instead of the expected early access releases or 'doing a very large update and don't know if i have a release this year'. Sure people would be slightly tilted but literally cannot complain with that as its being transparent.

I also want to mention how he fell into this shitty behaviour which was his fans fault. After his 2nd/3rd release of Succ2 he got absolutely slated by his community for the bugs and content. Had reviews purged twice on this thread. Lost 30 - 40% of his patrons.
Then he stopped releasing regularly and started to keep redoing stuff, then got far slower with adding way less content to his updates. Once he started doing this bullshit he regained all his 30 - 40% patrons and even went up another 20% with it still continuing to grow until he missed his last patron update post which caused it to stagnate and drop a tiny bit.
So he absolutely needs to get a kicked in the money to course correct him. As thats what put him into this bad direction from the start.
Also i believe we are not hearing from him as he knows everyone is fed up with the excuses and the next post he wants to make is releasing the game. Problem is he is in the same state he was for the past 2 years... unmotivated. But at least we aren't hearing nonsense excuses, updates on his patreon would be nice of course to clear uncertainty.
