The weird thing is, if he had exactly the same output but was just silent on his fake family drama and just put out updates when he had them without comment and fake apology and anything, we would probably all be fine with that. Maybe post a teaser pic once every 2 weeks, or hell, once a month, just so people know you're not gone and the game isn't abandoned. If a 300 render update then dropped every 6 months or so, sure we might not think that that's a lot of work for that time but people would probably think that this game actually is just a side job for him and he doesn't spend that much time on it and everything would be fine.
But it's his constant rambling excuses that get wilder each time will also somehow being exactly the same all the time that cause him all this animosity.
There are other devs that just put out updates like twice a year without much fuss, and sure, they're normally bigger than Braindrop's pathetic drops but still, people are not constantly moaning about updates because they just know that it will take time and that's that.
