what was the point of including the old art
Money!
Around Q3 of last year the $/patreon started to drop as more and more paypigs switched their contribution to $1. In response DC hid the amount he goy every month, to avoid paypigs seeing that their ire has a collective effect. But the trend was already visible. Then [ABANDONED] struck and not even DC's promise of releasing something in just 30 days could correct the nosedive in income.
When ICSTOR did something similar with Milfy City in August 2023, just the mere announcement that MC will release "soon" (with no proof) boosted his paypig count by ~30% in just one month and ICSTOR's behaviour over time was pretty much just as bad as DC's.
Now when DC did the same about a month ago he barely managed to keep his paypigs at the same level so things were in the deep red.
What we're seeing now is a rushed turd. It contains a small fraction of what DC promised in December
2020 wil be delivered in full in 3 to 4 months (the timer started on March 21st, 2021 when v0.20.16 came out so the deadline was July
2021).
I'll repeat because it's so incredulous many people may not get it on the first attempt. The release that's been put out right now is a desperate attempt to keep the paypig milk flowing. It contains a fraction of what DC promised in Dec 2020 he'll deliver in full in 3 to 4 months after v0.20.16 came out in March 2021. So he literally has nothing to show as work-done for nearly 3 years of payments totalling over
$2.2 million. Instead he now sells the same thing that was supposed to be delivered in 3-4 months as something that he'll deliver in literally 3-4
years (3 years have already elapsed 2 months ago). Maybe. If enough money keeps flowing.
The disrespect towards his paypigs is astonishing here. In 7+ years since I've been checking out wegs I haven't seen anything like it and I have seen some shit.
