Last thing I am going to post on the issue. He did indeed pull a Wootch thus far its been over 6 months since the last release. Before that he disappeared for like 8 months. [...]
I understand. But I don't think he pulled a Wootch. Wootch flat out abandoned the game deadass and didn't even give us a good reason, updating us years after skepticism blew through the roof - his Patreon is flagged for review but I think the excuse was something regarding a work-related injury? He didn't even return with an update to the game, just promises and mocked-up previews of the upcoming content update with Nessa in the car or something.
At least Nergal returned with a new build, and according to ZeroHerox12 (assuming they're not lying out of their teeth for some reason), it seems to be a big update. There's a huge distinction to make from there.
Also, I don't agree with the pledges making Nergal's case worse. You know what you are buying into when you pledge to someone, and you are responsible for your money. You should know better than to continue funding an endeavor you hold skepticism towards - nobody is forcing you to throw money at the project - plus, you should know of the risks when it comes to crowdfunding and abandoned projects. Hell, I would go far as to even say to cancel your pledges and re-pledge them when Nergal puts out a content update, would that not be a fair argument to make (with the goal being to mimic a "$ per content update" campaign)?
Why not request a refund or charge back the money if you are so bitter about the situation - you should have a legal claim towards a chargeback request (

). According to

, the chargeback dispute will be their issue to handle and will answer for the content creator, so all you would do is explain your case justly and see where it goes from there. Who knows, if you really want it, you could get your $120 back.
