Well. It's quite simple for me. I pay into dev work when it is engaged. I drop it when it is not. For example, I still support three that have long periods between updates and will continue to support them because they stay engaged and they have a good story line. It can take a single dev months to get something out when they have a demanding day job, or less than stellar health. It only takes a minute to let us know they are still engaged. If they can't find that minute, then they are most likely not finding any time to work on the project either. For me, that situation ends in support cancelled, no dialogue needed, so I could care less if they want to ignore me. I thought about supporting this one at first, but thanks to the sour attitude of the dev when questioned, and a lack of engagement, I moved on to a working project. I gave it one more look to see if it has moved, but apparently it has not so I'm writing it off as abandoned and will move on to an active project. To date, I've cancelled four in the last five years but supported ten times as many so the ratio is actually quite good. Of the four that I cancelled, one completed the project and was just pumping out wallpaper. After three months of no indication another project was going to start, I dropped it. The two he did complete while I was engaged were not bad and I enjoyed both. If he does start another one, I will most likely pick him back up. I'm one of those that wants a story line that will capture my interest, not a bunch of bald fap material. I can chase real porn if that's all I want. The adult content is a plus, but the story is a must.
