However, this is not a "community collectively" crowdfunding the game, we do not get together as a "supporters club" and vote on which game to support, these are individual people deciding individually which games they like. If "the community" agreed that this was just a milking project, I would still be free to decide on my terms to support the dairy industry, if everybody was fine with the way things are going, any individual can still decide "nah, not for me".
I can to a certain extent understand the idea of wanting to know whether it is anough to survive or enough to live comfortably nad/or to cover the expenses associated with making a game (like getting an adequate technical setup going) to understand whether the devs "need" more money. However, this generally is nobody's business and does not happen in other settings as well. I have no idea how close to going down my favorite restaurant is in this crisis and whether I need to order more take out. I have no idea how on earth my favorite music group can make a living from their art, but apparently they can. I have no idea how much the small mom-and-pop store in my street makes.
Coincidentally though, here we know how much money is needed: none at all. The dev clearly states it is a hobby, not a way to make a living. Everybody supporting him knows that (or should know because it is stated on the patreon page). Which also already tells everybody that update schedules won't be the same as with people who do it full time.
But I think the major issue the "militant little man", me, and some others, have with your statements is not so much the content (although the entitlement to somehow deserving something here reeks strongly), but more that it is obvious that you did not bother to educate yourself on many of the aspects that have been discussed over and over. You state an accusation, put a thin veil on it with "I am not saying, but ...", add some key words like "transparency" - you keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means - while oozing hostility without having done your homework.
