1. Well, it's not professional game developer ... yet. It's patreon based and you've got to listen to your backers. Even people who don't back him like me & you want our voice/suggestion to be heard. Imagine if you're a backer and being left cold in the fridge.listening to 11k + peeps also is a bad idea as a dev. The dude who came up with the idea should stick to his vision until its finished, or else it will never be finished...as u can see.
2. If you see dev patreon posting, one that not locked behind paywall that you can check yourself, he planned this game has story mode from beginning. He focus on the sandbox first to create a lot of asset for the open world, while also expanding his team.
3. He's not solo anymore, so he must listen input from his team about this & that. No one want to work under dictator where you just a pawn. We're talking about game developer, not soldier or trash collector.
For me, with his position now backed by huge funding & many staff under his leadership, it's a promising situation. I think this team have same vibe with Kompas Productions - Summertime Saga. Some of SS's fan want the content keep on the family, others want expansion to the whole city with new girls. If you have at least 5 people to work on the project, both demand can be done. So I think in this game, Dev can work expanding the Sandbox, as well as story mode, because both are related. Asset that made in sandbox, use in story mode.
