I know the game he speaks of, there's a patreon but I can't remember what the name of it is.
45$ a month is a sorry cash cow.
I've wondered about that, i stumbled into a patreon the other day that still has 3 patrons doing $50 a month, and hasn't had a post since March 2014...A sorry cash cow bringing in money without any work or effort. It's not a lot of money, but the cow is milking itself. Assuming their real work covers all their needs, $45 a month could easily be spent on multiple video games, books, movies, or streaming services. That's hundreds, maybe thousands, of hours of entertainment they don't have to pay for themselves.
I get that, but if you don't shell out for people to do the stuff you like, you don't get to complain that no one does that thing you like.Another reason I won't donate money to these sites ever again.

Even then you are showing that there is support and money available for the next guy. That is why we have half a dozen people competing to take the crown of Breeding Season.Yes and no, if those people who you donate because they "sell" what you like, run with the money, you don't go to have that game anyway...

Yes, that was and is a lot of money that was spent on something that will never directly result in the game that people want. But it has put the dollar signs into the eyes of more serious game developers.
