But I digress from the scope of this page, which is talking about WaL. Look, I don't like the long wait between updates either. I get that it was what patrons voted at one time but honestly, I really feel that this model of releasing updates is not the way to go. That's just my opinion though, others are free to feel different.
What I like about these devs is that they are communicating almost every day, on their discord as well. So when they revealed that they're having another baby, I saw the writing on the wall and knew that this update will take longer than usual. I don't think many people realize what having a baby means. For the first few months, they can barely sleep right.
And I know that some people are upset that they are making over 7k per month. Yeah, about that. I'm not sure if those 7k are before or after Patreon takes their cut but with a newborn and another child in their care, a lot of that money will go on supporting the children. Diapers, baby strollers and other stuff costs a ton of money. So I can't fault them for not pausing their page. I'm pretty sure that for a month or two, they barely worked on the game.
But people, this game is and has always been free, unlike many other games. I understand writing your frustrations here, as that is also a function of a forum but please remember. These devs are people too, with their own worries, problems but also joys. I haven't seen the behavior of scammers or milkers, rather of two people that have limited time to work on the game.
