Edit: This was a reply to Ursus. Don't know how I dropped his quote when I posted.
The thing is, mate, that you can't force a story you don't feel. Look at George Martin. Think he wouldn't love to finish those books?
We've all got the choice to support Mircom or not financially. It's fair to say those of us who supported him originally and never got an ending to the original game have a complaint, but not a huge one. If he tries to force a story he doesn't feel, ain't ever going to be an ending to anything except the updates.
I'm not talking out of my ass. I wrote a couple handfuls of well-regarded stories over on Literotica, got myself stuck for what to do with two of the characters, and haven't finished a story in a decade.
Let him do his thing. If you don't like it, don't pay for it. But you don't need to accuse him of milking it for money. There are plenty of examples of that around this site. A story just updated that has stopped even being about the original relationship and started wandering around with half a dozen new characters no one cares about. Another has left all its original threads behind and been stuck in one event for over a year. Resetting because he got himself stuck down a path he doesn't like doesn't make Mircom a bad guy.
