No hate taken; if you're hitting me with a blunt weapon, it's only fair that I hit back with the same if not something sharper. It's the internet, like you said, haha.
The pledge on Patreon is entirely optional and the game will be free once it reaches the ending it deserves. I always pause the charge if I'm not working on anything--or I'll tell my patrons to pause their pledge when there's nothing new on patreon but I'm in a tight spot and need some help with money.
I do appreciate your comments, even though it could've been phrased better, but it provides something for us devs to talk about. But the way that you say that I'm milking is just, I don't know, kinda makes me feel a little bit sad LOL, not only me, but for both of us. I'm not asking for an apology; just thought I'd put it out here because I'm also human like you XD
