Fair enough, I may have been too crude/crass with the way I described my stance but basically I think that spending money on product is good, but perpetually supporting something without getting much in return is not something I can get behind. So I spend whatever I feel like the end product should cost (anywhere from 10 to 60$) and if the product is never finished then, oh well, I got played. But if it does get finished - at least I already paid for it. As for the income... Well, your studio example is ofc neat, but those people actually have standards of work. They get shit done, or they get fired - you feel me? They are hired by people and have supervisors, have critical dates to meet and certain amounts of work to get done before those dates. Patreon subscribers are not supervisors, they don't hold that power. There is no centralized system that guarantees that any amount of work is done at all, or maybe some is done each day but instead of full 8 hours they're working for maybe 2 or 4, depending on how they feel like during any day. I understand what you're saying though, in general it just feels like we have different perspectives on the issue.
