Yes, just for some reason earning a lot of money and hiring assistants does not in any way increase the speed of the game's release, but quite the opposite. Perhaps the logic of the developers is somewhat different from yours, perhaps, hypothetically, they think this way: "why do we need to work and get a lot of money for honestly done work, if we can earn the same money, but do almost nothing, while portraying violent activity on streams, in posts etc."
I just assumed that a decrease in the number of donations would make them take their work more seriously, fulfill their promises, etc. Perhaps it will help, or maybe not, no one will say for sure, but there is such a chance.
I hope my logic is clear to you?
