not surprised in the slightest. from the whole 1.6 to 1.99999999999 fiasco, lack of "new" content in that time frame, the game being stripped of most of its content...i'm more surprised at his patreon numbers increasing than anything else.

Financially, this does not make sense. Stopping the game when the income has reached a peak. And Ron was always keen on money, as one could take from his comments. The man is a writing talent, not a software engineering one; the in-game episode where the narrator tries to sell the player a piece he has written could very well stem from real life. So no wonder that he is scarce on money. The only good reason for him to abandon the game would be that he found a real job.
But just as well he might have again planned too much and too complicated content for his technical abilities and now, reaching end of March, pressure starts to build. I suggest to wait for 1st of April and wouldn't be surprised to witness another "January spectacle", with the new version being available in May and playable in June.

Because he was already banned for lying and trolling here.
I thought JMolle2 was one of Irredeemable's biggest supporters? I remember him defending him constantly throughout the 2.0 update delays.

Up until the point deem binned content lied to the testers and me. The final release was not what we tested

When @Jmolle2 lost faith in the game and Dev is clear that this game is dead. Now my friends you can bash it hard.

Last message on Patreon was Feb 26. Just looked at his Discord channel (yes, you can get on it w/o being a Pateron) and his last message there was March 12. Several unanswered messages to him and everyone talking about how he's not responding and no one knows anything.
I was a supporter of his on Patreon for a long time, and after v2 came out, I was done. So much more was promised than was delivered over and over again.
Fool me once, etc.
That's why people need to listen to each other more. Many people were saying months ago, that it looks like burnout and slippery slope. It's not good when innocent people are scammed from their money, even when it isn't my money.

So now even @Jmolle2 , one of Deems biggest defenders on this site, throws in the towel. This really is no good sign for this game. Never really liked the game as much as others did, it was in my opinion overhyped, but hey people have different tastes and that is fine. However, it rubbed me the wrong way, with how little Deem was keeping in touch with his patreons and no I don`t care if he was active on Discord, not everyone of his supporters follows him on there.
However, the biggest mistake in my opinion was him introducing another character (the lifeguard) instead on focusing on all the girls who had 0 content (Zoe and Sarah) and the lack of actual content for most of the girls. Every story arc felt empty for how long the game went on. It felt like Deem didn`t care about the characters which were in the game already and instead just did whatever he wanted. For example the inclusion of Dotty did nothing for the game it was just him firing a few cheap shots at Mr.Dots.
Also, I know of the whole Patreon crackdown, but still when you compare this game to the works of other creators, who were also affected, it shows how little content was done in comparison.
If Deem has actual mental or physical health problems, then he should take a time-out just give his patreons a small heads-up and freeze his campaign so that people don`t get charged for nothing again. However, if he is just a lazy bum who decided to abandon ship with all the money, then fuck him.

I have been to his Discord twice just to see what's happening and both times he was just chatting with people in the general chatting channel or what ever it's called on his server.
I wasn't really looking at what he is saying, he might have been just talking random shit.

Not sure when that was, but for the last few days the only thing in the "general" room of his channel are people joking about where he might be; fwiw, abducted by aliens is currently the prevailing theory.
But he's gotta be doing something right because he still has $5k USD a month in Patreon pledges after a month of zero posts/content/teasers. And this is not the first time that's happened.
