I used to think that, too. Then i did a little research after spending 9 months in limbo on the Patreon page. These comments are valid-- especially if you spend money. Go look it all up. The comments that criticize get taken down. Anything that shows the pattern. Look at this game on Steam (discussions/ community). Look at his author page here on itch and check out the other abandoned projects. You won't see much here because he "deletes anything that even mildly annoys" him here (Screenshot of his direct words on Patreon DM). There are a TON of 'explanations' like this one, spaced every few months. This comment will probably be removed within an hour, since anyone reading it and looking for themselves will see it's factual.
