Just wanted to throw this out there. It's from today. Personally, if Mundo actually banned that person that's a low blow
That's my account. I was definitely banned. It was... pretty unexpected.
I absolutely *had* been a patron, by the way. Not sure if he was lying about that, or just mistaken somehow. I unpledged during the months of no development and total silence, of course.
For what it's worth, Mundo did DM me a little while later, and talked to me... civilly, at least. I told him I thought banning me was an overreaction, and that he had owed his patrons either better communication, or a pause for the Patreon page. He didn't have a ton to say to that, but I give him some amount of credit for letting me say it and not... blocking me again or whatever.
Maybe even sharing that much is a breach of private communication, but he banned me and misled people about my previous patronage without giving me a chance to respond, so I'm not feeling super charitable.
I had been reconsidering re-pledging after an update or two, if things looked like they were back on track. Obviously that's out the window now, lol.
I'm still a fan of the game and will play future updates (if there are any). I'm even sympathetic to how a developer might feel overwhelmed, and wind up not handling the Patreon campaign in a responsible way.
But I feel like if you want to come back to developing the game after ghosting your patrons like that, you have to be willing to own up to it. Apparently that's too much to ask.
