This is getting dangerously close to another thread discussing this exact issue, sparked from this very game. It seems we’re doomed to go through the same “aaa, dead game, scummy dev” loop every few months.
I’m not going to rehash what’s already been said, but to this point in particular what happens on Patreon is an issue for Patreon (or any other payment site). It’s unreasonable to expect every Patreon link on the site to be checked to see if the developers are doing their work (at which point this whole “make games as a hobby” thing becomes much more like an office job), and ultimately it’s the user’s responsibility to decide where they’re going to spend their money.
This situation sucks, sure, but if people either can’t read the hundreds of posts talking about the lack of updates or check the Patreon’s activity (or ideally both) before pledging support then that decision is entirely on them. I don’t see any reason why WeightGaming should be responsible for that.
