Well he's still in the middle of season four, so he's probably planning to do the whole thing or else the fans are going to bug him to no end.
Also, they kind of have to after ten years of doing nothing else. LK is moving into actual voice work but that's a very competitive field and even though you get paid like $30 an hour, that's only for maybe a few days of work a month unless you're in high demand.

It almost did, then he realised with patreon he could pay people to do the editing for him.
Patreon is the golden ticket, like Mark from cgr, team four star, a lot of these people were threatening to leave for real jobs and the fans decided to share some of their disability.
They would have had to thanks to ad block. Youtube red is paying people now, but they're ineligible unless they decide to do something original, which they won't. Patreon pretty much saved all of the main ones who still had audiences, and they get real pissy when you point out they've created something that isn't self-sustaining.
Whatever you think about them, Rooster Teeth did the crowd funding thing the way it was initially intended. Lazer Team was funded for two million dollars and made that money back and then some through DVD/Blu-ray sales, theatre screenings and digital downloads through Youtube Red, who noticed how well the movie did and gave them the money to film a second one, while they funded another feature film with the Lazer Team profits without the need of crowd sourcing. They took the fan investment and made a self-sustaining product.
Compare to most nobodies, especially the webcomic crowd, who repeatedly make kickstarters every years to put out a new volume because they can't afford to pay up front for printing costs.
