Ren'Py Abandoned Apartment #69 [v0.07] [Luxee]

Well, Apple may be fucking this game over hard.

Luxee using a "charge for major update" model on Patreon means that he loses a lot less supporters when he takes longer on an update than expected (presumably for IRL reasons, not a patron so not too bothered to check). Apple is forcing Patreon to only offer subscription billing (which even gets of the payment aggregation, so look forward to creators losing more to payment processors as well), meaning that as of November 2025, Luxee will be forced over to monthly billing, and have to either pause updates/enable them manually, or leave it active and lose subscribers when IRL issues make an update take longer.

Fuck you Apple. Fuck you with a rusty, spiked, 10 foot pole.

Seriously? Do you not know that corporations run everything in the US?? They can afford to donate big $ to re-election campaigns for politicians on both sides, so no matter who has a majority nobody can ever really interfere with their business practices. They allow occasional minor limitations on things they don't care about to allow the politicials to get good PR, but almost nothing is ever enforced once the issue is forgotten in the next news cycle.

See how long it took for Google to get slammed for monopoly.
Apple will take as long.

It used to be killing someone would at least be enough to get the attention of the Courts and Congress, but the absurd corporation news of the week: Disney is trying to get a measly 50k lawsuit (man's wife died after a severe allergic reaction to something she ate at a carelss Disney park restaurant) thrown out of court because the guy once had a 30-day trial membership to Disney+ (!!!) and somewhere in the fine print of that free trial there was apparently something about not being able to sue Disney for anything. So if they get a stupid judge they could literally start knifing to death anyone who ever had a Disney+ membership. Pretty sure that's not one of the membership perks on the ads for their crappy streaming service...

I am pretty sure that any contratual obligation becomes void if there is gross negligence which seems to be the case in that situation. But that is way off topic.
I just want another update for this game.
