Patreon system is truly a mistake to WEG scene. Sure it can help developers way more than kickstarter/crowdfunding, but on the other hand, they can also enable scummy devs from doing shit like this. Unlike "SFW" games, people can't just call them out publicly on YT & socials like YandereDevs for example.
These "slow drip" type of games is pretty disgusting to say the least. It's almost a game by itself; Try to milk as much patreon as possible until there's a sign of decline, then you finally release the goods. It wouldnt surprise me if they decided to "remake" the game in the future to stagnate the development even more.
It's been about 5 years and it's still in version 0.9. No, it's not 0.90, it's actually 0.09. In any software based term, that should be only 9% of the game completed. Then again, they probably doesn't even know to label it properly in the first place, so I digress.
Is it illegal? Unfortunately, no. Was it morally wrong? You tell me. When devs starts doing shit like this, you know that they're not the type of people you should "support."
Unfortunately, plenty of people have the mindset of "it's only $3 a month, who cares" and "I already donated since the early days, why should I stop now?"
Looking at it back, this game is honestly pretty mediocre. It just has the status of being around for a very long time, but the writing has dropped in the last few updates, and I was naive back then to get invested with it, but now, there's just so many way better games that I don't even see the point of bothering with this one anymore. This is probably going to be my last post on this thread. I wouldn't even open this thread in the first place if not for constant alerts from people who shared my views and all are very disappointed with how this game turned to be.
