I was a patron for 3 years and enjoyed my experience. DC and his whole team are really great people. I just realized that the only story I replay every time is Debbie's story and I check out the new story and that's it and with Debbie's art update being most likely years away (there seems to be a backlash against updating older stuff), I knew it was my time to duck out.Last but not least, I personally try to avoid replaying stories as much as possible, because the experience gets, by default, worse every replay. And I guess that's how most people feel, especially those who play it as a normal game and aren't as enthusiastic about it.
I have replayed the entire story once or twice and I agree with you. It does lose something on the second and third time.
