Ever been in a game forum where the players pretty much worship the developers as if they were gods? It's way too common. Those people can get crazy protective when they make it part of their identity.

Nope, but I can imagine that to some degree.

Despite that, I doubt gamers are very involved in payment methods of game engines, or even know which game engine their games are running on.

So unless some VERY popular game developers have been out saying expansions for their favorite games will not be released because of this, I don't see the mechanics for what you claim working at this point.

Actually, they are talking about canceling silk song, and expansion for hollow Knight that has been in development for ages now, simply because they are looking at the possibility that the game will have to be delisted in order to avoid bankrupting the developer
