I suspect the worst part of waiting is that this is going to 'normalize' this length of dev cycle. Don't get me wrong, even good devs establish market share and then back off to a more sustainable pace (look at the rate Caribdis was cranking out Eternum updates for a while). But the issue here is twofold. Firstly the lies and excuses are so blatantly obvious that anyone paying attention can see this isn't a one off situation. This is how its going to be going forward. Secondly, even if they sped up development considerably, they weren't particularly fast devs in teh first place. Let's be generous and assume they never leave the current city, don't add ANY more LIs and scale down some of their ambitions with the plot and sex scenes. You're still looking at a decade of development time just to finish the main story. Not flesh all the characters, not deliver all the content that is indicated in the gallery and certainly harem content that is even more labor intensive.
I won't go so far as to call this a scam. But I will say that many scams and unfinished passion projects (that wrongly IMO collect thousands of dollars for subs without being worked on) share a few basic tenets. Namely, large, almost unbelieveable promises followed by some content, followed by a steady stream of excuses and 'unavoidable delays' until the project just sort of dies. Legitament projects almost always end, either by being finished in some form or another, or the dev ANNOUNCES they are stopping the project.
