Patreon members and income does not correlate to how many people actually like and plays the game overall. Patreon players are an extremely small minority compared to the amount of players from here and other pirate sites. Those stats might as well mean, that he bend the knee for a few crybabies and now they are paying him for it.
If money is all that matters to him, good for him. But a small dedicated fanbase is much more vulnerable to fluctuations than the wider audience he could have had. A wider audience appeal would also have made his patron number increase even faster. All he needed to do was keep the ntr/futa content and have it fully avoidable.
Now, he is essentially a wage slave to the crybabies and has to constantly keep them from crying by not following his own vision for the game(that had ntr/futa). He obviously has interest in a wide range of tags/kinks but he can’t make anything that isn’t vanilla now and has to make the game for them, not for himself. He will likely end up getting demotivated and bored due to this, leading him to abandon the game down the line as we’ve seen happen a hundred times before.
