What do you mean by "all this time"? He's not an hour-wage worker. His Patreon subscribers aren't his bosses. They're buying a product. They're paying for early access to new releases. Calling my assumption flawed and then making a pessimistic assumption yourself doesn't really help your case when you're trying to call my "logic" flawed.yes and no...
Yes.
He is very bad at estimating release dates. After this many misses it can only be because he doesn't really mind missing them because every one, like you, has had five years to just accept it. (I too was once a supporter on Patreon)
and No.
the leaked document doesn't show what you think it does.
Your logic is flawed. Just because the document says that he began testing over 10 days ago doesn't mean that's what he's doing. You are making an assumption that he's spending all this time testing. He could have spent two days testing. Finished testing and gone on vacation for the last 8 days. That leaked spreadsheet doesn't actually mean anything...
I didn't make any assumptions about how many hours he spent on it each day. All I know is what that document says about the development stage of the update. You don't test until content is finished. Testing is for the purpose of quality control. I like that the content is finished, I like that they're filtering out typos and other mistakes. I also like that it's going to be a relatively large update of (at least) 750 renders.
I'm bubbling with anticipation. You're biting your nails impatiently. That's the difference between our mindsets and no criticism of my rationales is going to change that.
