The issue is that people don't want to re-download games just due to there being 1 extra scene or something.
Although I would've liked there to be more updates and stuff if the update IS delayed. I mean the last update from lostraven was a week ago, the last post on Patreon is 30th of Dec, and the initial ETA was the end of Dec. Due to sickness a delay of 7 days is.. Ok?.. But people usually get better within a week, so the circumstances that caused the delay should've been sorted out by now and offset?
I mean sure, half a month delay, maybe is ok?.. Undiscovered bugs, etc.. But any more then that is pushing it, especially as this update has taken 5 months in the burner, so this will hopefully blow our socks off. If it's a disappointment, I'd imagine that it'd hurt the goodwill of the "customers".
