I was disappointed too, but it was basically "screw off" money. At face value, it doesn't seem like the developer needed to do anything, but I could see it being something along the line of "here's what I've done so far, and in return for me giving this to you, you never talk to me again." The developer is paid in sanity, and while it seems like a bum deal from the outside, I could see myself doing something similar in order to get out of a toxic situation.
