You don't need to be a AAA dev to create a great game on a budget, look at Subnautica for an example, a small indie dev team albeit with experience, small budget and they created a masterpiece in about 5 years.And?
Big studio AAA games take twice the amount of time to complete, 10 time the amount of devs and 30 times the amount of money. You expect some magical feat from these people and get dissappointed when it (obviously) doesnt happen. Jesus.
Of course WL is different being a porn game and it's much more difficult to get investors upfront to commit with funds hence the reason for Patreon with adult games but I just think it hinders the development rather than helps it. Because at least when you have investors they want a return on said investment so game development is time sensitive, Patreon however doesn't really have this problem so devs can basically stall and move at a snails pace if the money is still rolling in.
