I doubt that it will come to that point, but every one that quits producing is a loss to all of us, and if it is due to a few impatient and childish gamers, it makes me furious!
It is ture, though, that it should not take months to get a registration key after you have paid for one. Then again, in comparison to the number of good experiences, how often does this unfortunate mishap happen? And, has the developer never come through with the paid for key or keys?
