Maybe DC will, maybe DC won't write an apology to appease his patrons - However, as I've said before and gonna say again, I am at this point honestly worried about the scope of each single update. While it's true that he delivers high quality work, the size of each update increases drastically. While that means more content on each release (yay), it also means longer development cycles and a heavier workload. Instead of doing smaller chunks, they set the scope too big and try to put it a singular update. While that doesn't affect the amount of worktime that goes into the game as a whole (since it's planned to be in one way or the other), trying to cram in as much as you can while on a schedule will either end with the update taking absolutely forever, or it dropping in quality to make it quicker: Both results I wouldn't be too fond of; And with the Eve update being "the biggest one yet", I'm worried that the goodwill his quality work provided him with will eventually run out and people starting to really get pissed.
The stuff going on here is just as bad as what is being commented on his patreon every day. People are dicks everywhere on the internet, so that at least stays true.
