I want to be real, with yesterday news I feel that everyone have lost. Not only we will have to wait for small updates in the long run for a prolonged period of time that it's probably the time DC team were going to use to get the Tech update fully complete anyways, but with these chunk of new content roughtly every 2 months its probably that DC will incrase his income thanks to the excitement of the public in general.
It's like the people that have theorized that with the Abandoned Tag DC would lose patrons: well, now the contrary is going to happen when people see the new update, and then other update, not matter if it's small or short; after 18 months of no content the excitement will go sky rocket.
While I think the Abandoned Tag is not going to change anything substantial, mostly because DC don't care about it, have a patreon base so big to fall drastically in 1 month and most people here (90% I dare to say) don't pay a penny for any game in this platform and don't have the intention anyway, if it's true that the Abandoned tag caused DC to work in this new content schedule (thing I highly doubt) then let me tell you that this have fuck us all, because in the end this person will win more money than he will lose and we will have to see all this process again and again.
Unless you don't care about any of this drama and only wait for the updates to drop ocasionally, this have literally become a waste of time and a total madness, for DC team, for his patreon community and for the people in this forum. In my case, it was ages ago that I decided to not invest my time or energy in any creator or person here, because in the end it's more likely I will lose more than I will win. If the creator mess up enough, then it will become a Silver case (Glamour, Big Brother); if he dedicate his time to improve he can come back from the dead or how its called here "abandoned tag" and it could become a Deviant Anomalies case.
From my experience, its only the creators decisions that lead to his downfall or his rise; in Summertime Saga case I don't see him falling any time soon, for better or for worse. I am only happy that we will have new content after so long and I am excited to see the rework in Jenny and mostly in Debbie's art, but at the same time I am sad that we will have to wait so long to have the Tech update fully complete. In the end, it's the player fan base that have lost. There is nothing to celebrate.
