You keep saying this. He owes his patreons what he promises in his tier benefits for them... And he fulfills those promises, monthly. Any game update and release are not part of the benefits for his subscribers. I don't think you seem to get this.yes dude but still you make 60k a month, you owe your patreons that you will retire as a millionaire in a couple years so don't you think you have some responsibility to do everything you can to do right by them and not let them wait for 5 years for a fucking tech update?
The contract he has with his patreons are the tier benefits as his only obligation in exchange for the compensation. If anyone thinks differently - they are wrong. They are incorrect. They are mistaken. And anyone who continues to argue that the game is an obligation after being reminded dozens, hundreds of times is the fool they are taken for.
Yes, there are probably a decent number of people who subscribed and forgot. For those people who do not miss that $1 or whatever each month tells you more about their financial situation than anything else. The monthly fee they pay is so small compared to their personal income and wealth that it doesn't matter to them. Why should it matter to anyone who is not them?I am still curious of the folks that signed up and just forgot.
Now, for the people who sign up for the service you mention - they realize they are spending money they may or may not desire to and after receiving the report from that service, make informed decisions about continuing. Again, why should it matter to anyone who is not them?
I think you are in the wrong thread. This is the developer's full time job. He has a staff of about 10, including himself, who fill the roles of artist, writer, coder, image posers, and more which he pays a salary to.Stop milking people with this line "Omg I have to work two jobs thats why I don't get enough time to finish update on time, if you support me on patreon, i will be able to hire another artist so we can update the game faster" LMFAO.
Also, for other games, I think you forget that yes - this is a side gig at best and for many simply a hobby. If you want them to work more hours on a game they are developing, it means people will need to subscribe so that they can quit one of their jobs (or reduce their hours) in order to devote more time. There are only 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. Again, though, we are taking these games for free - whether the developer intends that to happen or not - us bitching about what they do to attempt to earn some money is not our business... and is off-topic for game threads per the site rules.
