That surprises me. I've supported one creator who has had billing paused since last summer, without any issues. And I'm pretty sure I've read of other creators that have done multi-month pauses without anyone complaining about being charged.

They just have to log in to Patreon and request another pause, it automatically starts billing again the following month unless the creator extends it, but they can't say "pause for six months" and just leave it as that.
I will take that as a nice "proof of life" then that the other dev I supported that is currently paused is still planning to start another game and just hasn't gotten far enough along to announce it.
I am applying the same reasoning here.

Yeah, it seems a bit odd actually, because if the creator wants to pause for six months, they have to log in to Patreon each month to extend it. However, if a creator actually goes AWOL, because they won't be logging in each month, their Patreon would start billing again...
Nothing odd about it. If dev is AWOL people will stop being a patron to them, if you allow them to do that the switch without paying then you'll lose money. Think about it like last squeeze of dying cow. Cow is dying anyway, why would you show mercy and let all the milk go waste?
P.S. Not about this game but for the general idea behind the rule.
I wish that was true. Not that I've spent money on them, but following a game on here that still has ~3,000 patrons despite not having delivered a full update that was supposedly ready in 2023.

Yep, exactly that. You might think that it would never happen, because you pay close attention to every last thing you have a direct debit or other regular payment for, but in reality, some people will go months and even more before they even notice they're not seeing anything for something they're paying for.
You would show that you have a heart and not put the cow through more pain...And would you drink milk from a dying cow?
Don't bother replying.Oh no, just checked in to see if there was a time frame for the next release and saw the dreaded "oh hold" tag. Hope the dev can get through whatever they are going through and return someday. For me this was the most engaging brother sister dynamic I've experienced in any avn I've played.
Well, if the game development never resumes, then at least i got a couple scenes of MC banging his sis. That was awesome.

Anything that keeps hope and this thread alive is all good for now.

No the game has not been announced as "dead". It's a temporary pause due to a major unforseen event in the developer's life. We don't know what that event was, nor do we know if or when the project will be resumed. All we know is that development is paused and it has not been announced as "dead" or abandoned. Here's the announcement. Please read it.
TL,DR : Indeterminate future != dead . Regardless of the status of this VN though, there is still plenty of good content in it worth playing through v4.1.1, and it's still better than 98% of the low effort garbage on F95. That's why people still play and follow No More Money.
If you've already deleted your saves though, then a better question is why are you still in this thread bugging people? If you're really done with NMM, then you can easily play one of the aforementioned garbage bin games and ask dumb questions in those threads instead of this one.
I mean, I can see where dluser is coming from. RC did announce it as a "Temporary Pause", but when he ends the announcement with "I’m not sure when, or if, I’ll be back", it's understandable why people would just consider it abandoned now to rip that band aid off. What I don't agree with dluser on, however, is applying that point of view to others. Personally, I'm looking at it as RC is gone and not coming back, and if he does I'll just be pleasantly surprised. What I wouldn't do is insist to others that the game is dead and say something like "no one would buy a 1/2 finished book".You beat me to it. And said it much more eloquently than I would have.
"no one would buy a 1/2 finished book" is my quote, look it up.

Did I ever say it wasn't? I used your quote specifically to show the difference between your point of view on the matter and mine.

Man, what a shame that the game is paused. It was one my favorites.
But unforeseen things happens, we all know that. I hope the dev stays well.
