It does feel like the main thing bothering you is how much money he's making, more so than the 'dishonesty', but at the end of the day he is making free content, the people supporting him don't suddenly become his bosses or supervisors, they just like what he's putting out and supporting him into realizing the full vision for the project. You think your $1/$3/$10 entitles you to demand anything out of him? Fair enough if you think he's scamming people, not giving it his all to develop the game, or being generally dishonest, don't give your money and just wait for the next release that you will always get for FREE regardless.Cadwldr or anglicised as Cadwaladr was a Welsh king in the 7th century. As to the rest of your comment, if you had a reading age above that of my 3 year old, it would make sense to begin with. Sorry, "beginn" with. I'm not "whinning", I'm not even whining.
I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY HE MAKES.
Seriously. He could make a million or a hundred or a dollar and if he's scamming he should be called out on it. 0.2.0 should not have taken this long. Yes he was ill, yes he had a kid. Guess what? No one cares. If you work a job and you're ill or you have a kid you tell the people paying you. It's up to them to decide whether to pay you when you aren't working. And don't give me this, Patreon is not a job. Patrons pay him for support. They have a right to know what they are supporting. Are they supporting someone working normal hours on a project or twiddling his thumbs or sleeping in bed or taking paternity. Did he tell his patrons before hand about his illness? Did he tell them about having another child? Did he suspend billing knowing that he wouldn't be doing work? No. He kept that quiet until after the fact. Maybe his patrons wouldn't have cared, but he's not giving them the option. Which means, for those who want to follow the bottom line: he's not being honest. In any other realm of business that would be called fraud. Why do we have to be financially invested, or even care about how much money is made, to get the right to call out, or flag dishonesty?
You don't think he's being dishonest, fine. That's your privilege. I think he is. That's my privilege. I have the right to say it.
And people are stupid. Especially when small amounts of money are concerned. It's easy to set up a reoccurring payment and forget about it so you cannot assume all patrons are happy with him. After all, Irredeemable still gets $123 a month.
It's just incredible the complaints you can have when someone is releasing free content. It's not your money he's taking in, I'm assuming, so why is it any of your business what others choose to do with it? It just really comes off as someone being a little too concerned about how much money someone else is making for your perceived lack of progress.
I think it's awesome that there's some guys making this absurd amount of money every month, it's going to motivate others to put out quality products and the more this becomes prevalent, the more educated Patrons are going to be about what's worth putting your money into and what's not. And I get to enjoy all of that content for free, without really worrying about when the next release is, it's a better life than worrying about somebody's wallet or schedule. Trust me.
