Spending all that work and time on making a better game (Widescreen ratio = better game) opposed to just cranking out new content kind of does show a commitment to the final project. If he spent that work on new content instead, he'd probably be making more money (pretty sure his Patreon has gone down since the tech work started). This tech update is basically a lot of work for little monetary payoff, because most people only care about the lewd scenes.If by "new content" you want wider backgrounds and a few new grils you can't lewd, then enjoy. Been over 1.5 year and people still dunno what's happening. Better call it milking the entire time though
Though I did specify that I would need to make sure that the tech update is of quality, because there is always a chance that the tech update was just an excuse to slack off and the release will be shit. If it's a quality release however, I'm not sure how you can possibly accuse him of milking anything when he lost money doing work when he could have just kept releasing content as he was for more money.
I won't give him a dime until I see it though. I do believe that's the smart thing to do. I keep myself away from angst and disappointment that way.
