I'd say after six years you have enough data to extrapolate on the next two. Zombies may go away, but will the Kirils..?
Also, PayPal linked to a chequing account never expires. He'll be just fine. Cheers!
That just seems foolish. :unsure:

You can dispute credit card charges.

Much harder if it's on a debit, as that comes directly out of your checking. And i would never want something like Paypal pointed directly at my checking for that reason.

This is just yet another one of his yearly statements. It's in the same category as; "This year I'm gonna hire help to increase development speed.".

Billion dollar franchises with their AAA developers and hundreds if not thousands of employees are unable to make their games pirate-proof, but L&P is obviously better. He's the best, and every single one of his statements has turned out to be the truth. He would never lie, and this statement of his is totally not him being salty. It's all real and true.

The latest $45 "teaser" was totally worth it, no? Dylan vs. Ellie in a staring contest. HOLY MOLY!
Unless he plans to imbed some custom file that he is then going to keep a database on to cross-reference every download with every sub, then it seems all the one that wants to upload it to pirate sites would need to do is unzip/rezip, and you've just changed its digital fingerprint.

And even if he *did* imbed some custom thing to track it, what's to stop them from just making a new Patreon account? :unsure:

Either way, sounds like a lot of talk and empty promises, to which like everything else from this dude, believe if when we see it. :rolleyes:

As neither would I. However, it might depend on jurisdiction, but having PayPal in two countries - that's by default.

Technically nothing, but he is capable of naming the person, making them an example, slowing things even more and blame it on the poor soul. Also, great pretext to create higher tier.
Unless there is something in Patreon TOS he can actually use? IDK. From what I heard here, he threatened someone with a lawsuit even for an attempt to help him...

That's especially laughable, coming from a guy whose extensive legal experience allowed him to come up with the reason Aiden is so untoucheable by school staff and whatnot is because 'His dad is a lawyer' or some such horseshit.

In L&P's world, talking about lawyers is so steeped in urban legend, that it's like the Candyman.

Simply say the word 'lawyer' in a mirror 3 times, and one will appear and sue ya! :eek:

Aiden’s uncle is presented as an untouchable lawyer. He probably is one of the managing partners of this law firm which is untouchable by the law due to its reputation and network expansion. They are so powerful that they can move governments and influence politicians. A scenario not far from reality… Aiden is depicted as the spoiled nephew and in the absence of a father his uncle has taken that role. Not an easy task for a teacher or a fashion designer to overcome this obstacle. In situations like this it is not uncommon for people to act driven by their emotions… Reason becomes a secondary choice when fear overcomes people and Sophia is scared… Aiden is playing with fire and testing Sophia’s limits. So far his tasks are borderline realistic. My favourite one is Art Class! I’m wondering what the next tasks will be… The earliest we will see a new Aiden’s task is in 3-5 years from now… People like Kirill86 could influence the production and persuade LP to improve his project management and make it more efficient so that we can get some actual content.

There will be no courts or lawsuits! Then you will have to disclose your personal data of an individual! The consequences for such developers have long been known. plus, we do not forget the difference in the laws of different countries. The only thing that can - I agree with it. Use it as an excuse to cancel or postpone certain additions to the game.

You are so old, but you believe in children's fairy tales))))

That thought is kind of funny considering L&P is distributing AWAM behind Patreon's back. Also funny since he's using highly illegal assets in his game that could cost him everything. You know, all the copyrighted brands and stuff which he's using for his porn game. lul

I'm sure Amani, Coke & Co would be happy about that. Same with Patreon.

Then there will be further slowdown.

i don't think what i can "persuade" L&P. He has own plan. And yes, I think he's also upset about the speed of production, but there's nothing he can do, he doesn't trust people either. What upsets me the most is that he spends $3,000 on his animator for each animation

So prepare 1900 packages for each Patron and store these 1900 packages on his website. And break the auto update functionnality by the way.
Hum... seems legit :unsure:

Do you have the facts that he spends $3,000 for each animation? The developer lies as he breathes )
