Losing donations is not true, or at least negligibly true.

2020 and 2021 were the two biggest donation years ever, at ~$130k, with 2020 being slightly higher.
2022, with two months to go, they're already at a record high of $135k, and theyshould finish the year around $165k.
Holy shit this guy gets 100k per year and is begging for more.
And it’s taken this long for a steam version to be made?
Disclaimer that I don't play DF, and I've only idly followed it over the years.
Well, it's two brothers who make Dwarf Fortress. It's been their sole work for more than a decade.
One brother--Tarn/Toady--has a PhD in math and does all of the coding. The other brother--Zach/Threetoes--does design I guess? He also writes and does website updates. He got married a few years back. I'm assuming he's the leading force on gender and BLM and what not.
Regardless of their politics, they're creating something that is crazy, awesome, and a lot of fun for a lot of people. That's worth more than most of the grifters out there.
lol he takes hard earned money from his paypigs and donate it to criminal organizations.
Yep. And I won't be buying Dwarf Fortress on Steam or elsewhere. Their choose to do what they want to do with their money, my choice to not buy.
