I'm reading this thread and honestly, I'm not sure we are playing the same game sometimes. There was a huge shift from the original vision and i think this one is far more scalable, even the environment is more dynamic. There are some event based bugs I think and maybe a few things could be clearer, but those moments are a lot rarer than most games of this type. I think this is by far the sexiest, most ambitious design of Raven, even if it isn't the most faithful. They pulled the plug last year and have more product in that span of time than people earning 20x as much for their project, including splicing out their projects so they don't confuse anyone about progress by spreading it out between projects.
There isn't much more they could to do to display a respect of ethics alongside a respect for quality for a two person team. If the next update displays the same kind of mindset the reboot portrays, I'm subscribing and I haven't unsuscribed from anyone who meets that bar for me. it's 60 bucks a year for minimum support, you don't think this is worth 60 bucks a YEAR? Please remember that is the value proposition they have as a floor in 2022.
