Probably right but even so there's a lot of people on their patreon, so that's a lot to listen to. Have you been on their discord? They have forums open for specific aspects that people can discuss in length. One of them is the likes and dislikes regarding the update. One of the things I've been seeing mostly in a lot of these discussions, one even with a poll, was the controls. There is a push to having a wider range of custom controls, which in my opinion would fix a fair amount of complaints. The other one to address would be the mandatory tutorial which people are also expressing some annoyance on the discord.
I don't think they're getting their feedback ONLY from their Patreons, but it would make sense to prioritize them until it's released to the public.
Regardless, we'll all have to wait and see what they'll do with everybody's response.
