I definitely agree that the mindset of lot of subscribers isn't that they are paying for a game, it's that they are supporting a developer who makes games.
That's exactly what they're all doing, irrespective of their mindset.
It's the literal definition of a patron, none of them are a customer purchasing a product.
There is no consumer law here, no-one is entitled to a refund if the product is faulty, they just have to wait for a bug-fix. Same boat if it never gets delivered. They did not purchase a product, so there is no valid claim for recompense if it doesn't.
If they're unhappy their only course of action is to withdraw their support.
The majority seem to remain happy.

how is this "abandoned" if the dev releases updates every week on patreon
No they don't, they post a "weekly report" every week. By that logic games like Offcuts are still not abandoned, because dev still promises to release new version "soon" and posts on their patreon. And that game didn't see an update for 5 years now.

you should be smarter and give your money back because they just took it out of your wallet for some tiny content and a chance to talk about it. All that remains is to pretend that the game still has some chance of release. Take a look at the forum here, every second game starts with version 0.0.0.1 and is updated by a nanometer in six months. some just refer to some problems with the engine or something else...
It's about a case where one of your favorite artists suddenly "breaks" his arm and sends someone else's photo of a broken arm

2 years for a side character is crazy and its not like they announced some huge setback in the development and the kids aren't going anywhere so if thats the reason then its now a 2+ year dev cycle per update for the foreseeable future im sorry but theres just no point in following this game with that kind of turn around. I see people mention summertime saga in comparison to this but that atleast is pretty much a complete revamp of the game from top to bottom.

They keep saying Summertime saga because is the only popular game in a similar situation.
Ongoing games with the Abandoned tag like this one are rare.
