Strange times.
L&P is handling the censure of this teaser a lot better than he did the last one, the last one was only posted at the top tier, and stated Don't share this teaser to anyone outside Patreon or there'll be no teasers ever again (paraphrasing).
For a few days no Patrons shared the teaser, People here asked - they said No.
People here asked if he (L&P) told them to not share it - Patrons said Yes, he did.
Then people here asked what, exactly, L&P said - Patrons shared the gist of the message.
I think that's when it changed.
Because L&P was no longer making a polite request, he made a threat, and as the law of the Internet goes - the harder you tell them not to do something, the harder some asshole is gonna to want to do it.
So the Teaser was posted, blurred at first but eventually the whole thing uncensored... and it was largely the same sanitised, PG, Nothing of an image they all are (don't get me wrong the render looked great, but it was hardly a massive spoiler or likely to get people hot under the collar)
Then there were all the issues around the day of release and downloads from the AWAM website not working - I avoided the thread for the rest of the week after that so I don't really know if any of it was discussed. It was like watching a room full of angry toddlers, people were scream-typing angry messages; demanding the update be leaked, making threats at patrons and the Dev.
The longer it took a leak to appear the more noobs from this forum would cave in, go pledge at the top Patreon tier, download the (censored) game, play it, realize content was missing, come back here to complain, veterans would explain the difference between DOL & AWAM and somehow the noobs would just get even angrier.
I saw half a dozen posts from people, incensed that they had pledged last minute and still had to wait to get the real game, talking about going back to patreon and reporting L&P to Patreon admins, how they'd explain in detail exactly what L&P was doing to circumvent Patreon's rules.
Side-bar for any current Patrons, has L&P discussed any of this, how he feels about the whole thing?
Now here we are, L&P seems to have developed some animosity towards the non-patrons on this forum and I really can't blame him after all the chaos.
It's just so strange how the community around this game seems to get more toxic the longer we go, and I am including the people who cry 'YoU sAiD tHe GaMe WaS rEaLiStIc' every time L&P takes a little bit of creative license.
