Having said that, although it is true that Dc gain additional patreons every update, there´s a big drop of patreons after the update too, as you can see in the image.
Right now he is gaining a lot of patreons , and many of them will mantain their patreon membership after 0.20, but, he will lost a some of them too.
The drops in Patrons happen mostly at the first of the month because of denied payments or other problems with payment providers. If you check the daily number of Patrons you can see that it is always exactly the first day of the month that's the lowest. But he also almost always gains them back until the end of the month.

Granted, some can of course be Patrons that cancelled because they were charged and thus reminded that they still actively supported DarkCookie. But even if they leave and don't come back, he seems to gain almost as many new supporters.

Where does that picture come from? The tracker on their patreon page says 99% complete as well, but 130/169 bugs fixed.
I use mozilla and they have a progress tracker for mozilla
I used to use chrome and they also have tracker for chrome.

Yeah, he is 100% milking his audience. That doesn't mean he's better than the majority of devs here, or that when he does update once or twice a year, that he doesn't do a good job. But he milks and delays just because he wants to keep the gravy train going, and he's afriad once he finishes the game people who will stop donating to him (they wouldn't, this has been proven but whatever).

This is still a good game in the making, but come on.

@otranu: Well, as said, in that case he'd gain more patreons this month and more of them would stay next month, so the monthly drop would happen at a higher level. People who want to stop their pledge can stop it anyway. Unlike most other games SS is free, and you don't really gain any significant advantage while pledging. Those who don't give him him a cent will get it almost as quickly as those who pay the maximum amount.

But he milks and delays just because he wants to keep the gravy train going, and he's afriad once he finishes the game people who will stop donating to him (they wouldn't, this has been proven but whatever).

Any evidence for that?
