VN Ren'Py Abandoned The Mason Gambit [Ch.10] [CorForce Productions]

that a percentage of the community does not accept your game is not a reason to abandon a project that you started.

In a perfect world, maybe. But there are reasons why this might not be true. What if a developer has gained independence from a day job so their only source of income is via their supporters? If enough support drops because of what they're doing, they might be forced to give up on their game to take a job that allows for no spare time to keep developing.

Or, maybe a developer has not gained independence from a day job, so development of their game takes away a lot of time from their family or other obligations. They might have gotten an ultimatum from a spouse or similar: make a living doing just game development within 2 years, or quit. If that happened, losing supporters could prevent them from reaching the ultimatum's demands, in which case they have to quit.

So depending on the size of the percentage not accepting the game, that could absolutely be a reason to abandon a project that they started. You never know what's going in IRL for any given developer, and unless you yourself have been in the same circumstances, you cannot honestly say you wouldn't do the same as they have.

Agreed but, early I believe the dev said he didn't care about the money maybe it isn't true but I think he said that. I believe he claimed he was retired from Canadian Special Forces... it's been a while so I could be wrong. I do believe that's what was said though. So, I believe he has a military pension. Idk this particular dev's personal stuff just going off stuff that was either in the opening of the initial demo or what was communicated here. Then again this is the internet so who knows he could be full of it...
