The truth is often times somewhere in the middle.
I would say that it is definitively true, that DarkCookie, is milking people. But i will also say, that he is putting a lot of hard work to it as well. Also, he certainly has taken it easy compared to when he was making the game at the beginning. But everyone does at some point. But it is not like he has been a slouch and not doing any work neither; nor sitting and milking people senselessly.
The problem lies in various things:
-The first one is that he hand draws everything from scratch instead of trying to make reusable assets. I would agree that for the sex scenes and characters, it is most likely best to be make as many new assets and variations as possible. This way, people don't get bored of the sex scenes. However, how many times did he re-draw certain characters and scenes that were already good? I would even argue that some of the older designs were even better. For example, Jenny's eyes rolling back during sex was so hot; but it has now been replaced by average scene.
-Reusable assets are best for environments and furniture. But no, he just wants to hand draw every room and furniture. And all of that takes time. And a lot of these things can be reused and combined in different ways so that they still feel different.
-The keeps making amends to the story-line. Most people are not aware of this because they simply skip forward the story they played before. He keeps making slight changes to a lot of different parts of the story of the game. So, these will certainly create inconsistencies and bugs. So he and his developers will have to hunt down different part of the stories for those changes. But again, nobody complained about the story before and liked them the way they were.
He just keeps "creating" work that is not necessary. I am sure that some of it is because he just like the story or art to go to a certain direction; and I can respect that. But i am also sure that he knows to a certain degree how a lot of it is not needed and he is just doing it to milk people for it. But it is not like he is just sitting back and not doing any work neither.
