A fan fiction parody would be awesome. Imagine the Cult of Bailey marching, without a Duckface to be seen.
... Maybe that isn't such a bad idea.

I just had an idea. Somebody redo the Birthday pictures of all the ladies. Do a kind of age progression of what they will look like when BD actually puts out an update that has a decent amount of game play.
The year is 2029.
Braindrop has had every one of his organs replaced following complicated emergency surgery. He has just recovered from his weekly period of severe flu. Mackenzie has been missing for 8 months after getting lost on her way to the shops without her laptop and any method of logging into Patreon.
MindDrop#136 has just been released promising 6000 renders within the next week. Immediately after posting, Braindrop's graphics card bursts into flames, a swat team assaults in through his front door with an arrest warrant having mistaken him for a drug lord, while simulataneously a flock of magpies has flown in through an open window and stolen all his harddrives.
Braindrop looks at the carnage around him.
"They're never going to believe this... I just need one more week. One more week..."

Guys, I think we are looking at this the wrong way. Maybe we should stop seeing WVM as a game and start seeing it as a church from the middle ages. Those took generations to build. We're just setting in the foundation now. Maybe if we are lucky, our great grandchildren will inherit a playable build!

I bet the next excuse will be that someone stole all of Braindrops towels from the laundry room and now he has to become Liam Neeson from Taken.
I did provide funds for this game for too long. It was worth while. But now? Well, he got enough from me.

It's funny because it's true...
Also, it's oddly comforting to return to a thread after a year and find that nothing has changed, kinda like hooking up with your crazy ex - you know you're getting lied to but you but you want to see how creative the lies can get.
Carry on everyone, see you in 2024.

So is giving to BD's Patreon sort of like a financial NTR?

I don't expect a release anytime soon. The only really reason to be here is to wait for his next series of excuses. Also fun to see how long people are going to keep throwing money at him. At this point I would be surprised to find out that some of BD patreon are just throwing money at him. To do nothing so to keep people upset.
At some point before he finish the game. I fully expect to hear one of his excuses be. "I am working to upload my a copy of my brain to my computer, so it can work 24/7 on this game... but the techknowledgy isn't ready quite yet. Update coming soon..." Even if that was possible I bet we would get excuses and delays.

Right someone just take his work and slap FAN version on it and finish it for him.

By the time the update gets here the MC should have graduated, gone on to the NBA, and retired.

Not upset enough.
Besides losing like ~3% of his Patrons per month (this shows them going down from 3300 to 3000 since the beginning of November), this doesn't look like people are leaving in great numbers. And every excuse is met with a surge of new patrons for some reason.

IMO, he is benefiting from the work he's already done giving the illusion of forward momentum. If you are someone who never saw this game before, or are checking it out for the very first time, you're going on a superpowered honeymoon phase of what we all went through enjoying this game in its time. And with as much content as is there up to this point, in comparison to new games that have like an hour of content or less, it seems like even if he's not going super fast, "it's probably fine, right?" As long as new people continually discover the game, he doesn't really have a problem he actually has to address, because he'll just continually get the benefit of the doubt from the new people coming in. It took me a year to get fed up with him - and I expect new people will be similar.
That being said, on a long enough timeline, I think he's going to start having real problems. Negative sentiment takes time to build like positive momentum does, but once you have enough of it, he's going to have a ton of problems and they're going to pick up in speed as they go. If he pisses off enough people, they will start doing things like mass chargebacks and reporting and he's gonna have a much, much worse time. One motivated asshole is harder to deal with than 1000 fans, especially if it's now more like 100 fans because 900 of them gave up. But I honestly don't think we'll see that for months. He'll probably keep cruising like this for I'm guessing most of this year at the least.
We'll all know when it turns, though. If he ever actually starts to lose what he has in a significant way, the manipulation will get next level as desperation increases, AND it will have massively diminishing returns because he's been coasting on excuses for years now. And I think these two things will feed into each other in a major way. Given what he has lied about up to this point, I assume no lies are off the table - it will be his wife dying, or his child being incurably sick, or something that has to stand out enough from the previous lies he's told to shock people into not quitting on him.
Hopefully none of this happens and he just un-heads his ass, but if I thought that was gonna happen, I'd still be a patron.
