You are 100% correct. People subscribed and supported him because they enjoyed the game he created, and even I was thinking about throwing some more cash his way if he was going to continue development. All this does, and rightfully so, is cause people to doubt he can ever finish a project he starts. Not to mention, making the discord and the games update announcements exclusive to patreons alienates his fan base. Marketing is vital for independent projects like these, and not commiting to it or even keeping your community up to date is a major red flag. Hope Raliv can realize this. I wont deny the obvious fact that the game not releasing on steam hurt the launch, because im sure it did. However, at that point I think Raliv either needed to cancel this version of the game, rebrand it, and try to get it on steam again, or they needed to scrap the project and move on to a new game where it could get a steam launch. I think why people are so upset is simply promises not being delivered, and majorly, a lack of communication.
