Why in the world would you give one single hot shit? Patreon is literally people donating money to him. It's not a budget, it's not an advance against royalties, or anything like that. It's not a development fund. It is literally people giving him money because they like what he does, and rolled into that is being down with how he does it.
I don't care that he has zero accountability or incentive, beyond his own creative impulses. I hope he takes the money and buys a super practical Ferrari.
True, until the game doesnt get made because the arse falls out of the patreon base.
You think he'll work forever no money? theres a fine line between no accountability and no income no product.
How many patreon games have died on the backend of burnout and lack of funding?
You hope he buys a ferarri, I hope he does too, and makes a stellar product. But if he takes forever to make it and the patreons crack it and leave, then well no product, no ferarri.
Your argument couldn't be more wrong, it is an advance, it is a budget, it is a development fund, he uses the money to fund his life, and part of that life is making this game, if no money comes in he goes back to his 9 to 5 and the game ends.
The fact the words used are tip jar is completely false and quite naive, people want to create and make good things (like this game) but without funding they are not made, plenty of great potential games have gone by the wayside without funding.
Unfortunately with patreon there are no checks and balances, and the people who make the most often out turn the least until their income base collapses, and then nothing is made.
Heres a deal, based upon the number of theoretical updates and just how long they are taking to make, how long do you think this development of the game will take?

How long do you think the patreon base will sustain this? and I assume you're not a patreon support. And I am.
