I may not be as hyped for this game as I once was since they kind of botched the 'family' story line (Jenny and Aunt Diane were my favorite characters and their updates were extremely underwhelming), but DC is one of the best devs out there.
Like it or hate it that's just a fact:
1. He sort of sticks to the general plan and doesn't make up any stupid excuses like 'mental fatigue' or they have to revamp the whole engine and start again from the beginning etc when they start making decent money.
2. He also streams regularly which is another thing that separates him from the bad lot.
3. The update bar on the game also gets updated regularly unlike some other games that have been stuck for a couple of months (looking at you ICSTOR).
4. He has managed to actually form a studio and hire people to work on the game. When he started he was entirely on his own.
5. He has managed to keep a certain level of quality in every game update. Every update has been consistently 'good'. No update ever gave me the general feeling of it being bad unlike many other games.
6. Players get to vote on which characters get updates. Some devs do this, some don't but it's still a plus.
Also, the man just had another baby, the fact that he managed to stick to the plan despite that deserves praise on its own.
Give him a break.
