I think some devs are *afraid* to finish their game, because of what happens next. What if they don't have an idea for a next game? What if they do have an idea, and it sucks? A thriving Patreon can evaporate if patrons don't like what you're doing now, no matter how much they loved your previous project.Devs are totally insane nowdays , they are almost finished with their game and than decide a remake/remaster of its old content. This proves 1 of 2 things : 1. he either has no idea how to finish its story and needs to refresh his memory or 2. milking patreons for whats essencially the same game and same idea , so less work for the dev. Either one of the 2 is stupid. You either remake the game in early stages (ie Lust of pain) or you dont ... finish it and move to another project, now you have experience and wont repeat same mistakes...
Reworking, rewriting, remastering are ways to keep patrons more likely to hang around, risk-free. And editing an old thing is easier and less stressful than creating a new thing. It maybe isn't milking, just fear of being finished and having to prove yourself all over again.
