Careful putting words in my mouth, you don't know where it's been.Saying things aren't something does not make them not it, sweetie.
Kickstarter and Patreon have been a disaster for the human race.
While I didn't say 'early access cannot be used nefariously', I do understand your point. Redamz is a great example. He did provide a functioning game, but he publicly dropped his project with a very large amount of monetary support. Took the money and ran. This was more or less chalked up to Patreon's updated TOS, nonetheless he didn't bother to move over to another platform. Or make the necessary changes to make Patreon happy.
HT is a different story. I figured he was dead or in prison, (or sued into oblivion by Nintendo) but he finally came forward and just admitted he was having IRL problems and is simply antisocial towards the horde of horny patrons and pirates. During his hiatus, he rewrote the entire game and made some drastic improvements, far exceeding what I've seen other creators do. Game dev is hard, and so is life.
As stated in the prior post, we can only assume that Henry is still working at this point. He will likely return with another massive overhaul and be praised once again for a month or two. Until then and forever forward, it's 100% voluntary to support his patreon page.
