I'm gonna explain my point using hypothetical scenario so you can see my point. But you need to read ofcourse.
The problem is you're working off of the assumption that people care as deeply about this as you do and that they're somehow being fooled or coerced. And you clearly do, otherwise it wouldn't be worth your time to spend so many visits to this forum just to talk about it. In reality the formula is far simpler:
1. People see a thing and assess if they want it or not. If they don't, then they stop at this step and find something else that they do want.
2. If the thing costs money, consumers decide if they want to spend money on it. Some do, while others either decide that the thing is no longer desirable or they see if they can acquire it for free. In either case, people either consume it or they don't.
3. Repeat until the earth is out of resources to consume.
If people want a thing, they will pursue it. Wild Life has 10,962 paid members on its Patreon page at the time of writing this. That means 10,962 people have decided this is something they want to put money towards, regardless if it's "Clown World: The Game" or the literal second coming of Christ. Anyone else apart from those 10K who have visited the page have decided if they will either pirate it (myself included) or simply don't wish to consume it (which I would presume to include yourself). That's about all that has to happen there; the decision-making process is complete. Hanging around a thread about it just to tell people about all the money you've decided not to spend on it is pointless for any purpose except attention-seeking, like someone marching around in front of a Walmart with a cardboard sign complaining about a brand of crackers they have never bought.
Those 10,962 people are free to pull their pledges as soon as they feel they aren't getting their money's worth. I'm enjoying the sex animations for the wank material they provide, and couldn't care less if the game never has functional RPG mechanics. It sure wouldn't be the first time a lewd would-be RPG has oversold itself and only ended up being good for a few wet tissues along the way (hello, Legend of Krystal). But you're protesting this as if these backers aren't fully aware of the current state of the game (they are, and can download whatever the latest build is at any time to check) or that they're somehow prevented from revoking their funding. The fact that they continue to pay means that all 10K are happy enough with what they see, regardless the long timeline, broken promises, compromises made, engine changes, or any other facet about the game or its developer. It doesn't matter if you find this box of crackers not to your liking and argue left and right that there are better brands to snack on, because apparently plenty of others find these to be fine enough to spend money on (or at least, fine enough to steal). Your wallet has cast its vote, and others will continue do the same. Trying to change the fundamental basis of consumerism on a porn game pirate forum can only reduce your quality of life.
Btw The Day Before was impressive too and look at how it turned out.
