And that's incredibly vague. If they had said "pirate sites are bad words here", or "we don't mention pirate sites, please check the rules", that might have been better. "Bad words" typically means something else so it's easy to see the confusion, and yes, they could have asked for clarification so that's on them, but DPC or other mods could have been more clear in the first instance.
The rule clearly says "don't mention pirate sites", how is that vague? If he didn't realize that this is a pirate site or didn't read the rules, then it's his own damn fault. Yes, there are creators who give you a slap on the wrist as a warning, but that doesn't mean it applies or should apply everywhere.

" I was warned about using "bad words". I spoke in chat several times unaware of what "bad words" I had used. I found out I said "F95 Zone" 3x "

maybe, he should just ask what bad word did He used:LOL:. My comments here were deleted without warning, in this place there is a more power hungry moderator

5. No advertisement
6. Respect our Admins and Moderators, their decisions are final

8. Don't ask about updates, the game is released when it's ready, check the weekly Status update on patreon.com/DrPinkCake for information.

...

He could take legal action against this site with among many other developers , But he doesn't, because he is not asshole and not fool,
I agree with most of your post but this fragment means you don't know how internet works. There is literately nothing he can do against this site that would be effective in any way.

And my response to that would be unless you are a registered charity/non profit org for the tax breaks etc......running a business that relies on donations...is quite frankly stupidity in itself (especially if you have a mortgage etc, rent to pay blah blah). Donations can stop at any time. If he truly wants to be that serious...quit patroen...just sell the game on Steam. Wonder how much he would really make then? Do you see actual proper game devs (sorry, but using renpy etc does not count the same) from proper game companies using donation sites? Oh...no you don't. Maybe the odd kickstarter perhaps (Obsidian once) but they sell a product and don't live off donations.

However, if people are happy to give someone forty bucks a month with a promise (ultimately) of nothing....who am I to say he's doing it wrong. Lot of stupid around in the world wondering why they have no money every month.
I smell jealousy, bitterness. Donations . is giving away something for free, in exchange for nothing.

Patreon is an American membership platform based in the that provides business tools for creators to run a subscription content service. It allows creators and artists to earn a monthly income by providing exclusive rewards and perks to their subscribers, or "patrons"

You basically subscribing for content, like in a porn side. you paying for something you not giving you money away for free.

But since we are in a pirate forum, were most of us are not paying for anything, I don't understand why this contemptuous attitude coming from.

I know this topic has come up in the thread before, and I agree with you, it seems like people have a pretty distorted idea of how hard it is to create adult content for pay, and will go to great lengths to justify their accessing it for free. With that said, it does cut both ways. There's a substantial portion of folks who will buy if they get to try first, and especially in adult-content creation, income tends to be disproportionately contributed by 'whales' who provide very much more than the minimum contributors. This is true across patreon, but its especially true with adult content, where people who find something that hits on their particular fetishes and have substantial disposable income may pledge hundreds a month to ensure it continues to exist. This pattern exists outside of adult content (it's how many F2P/P2W mobile games work), but its especially amplified in adult content.

A lot of 'legitimate' paths to income are not really available to adult content; DPC has his material on Steam, but it's pretty uncommon to find XXX content there and there's more topics that aren't permissible. Criticizing the creator for using the best tools available to them, even if those tools are inadequtae or flawed, is pretty silly.

I'm not, :p
I will buy it once the game is finished :LOL:. but I don't pay for porn, or AAA games either, so nothing personal against DPC:ROFLMAO:.
This year i only buy Detroit Become Human, Final Fantasy XV and Nier Automata

Not to mention the amount of games they gave free for PC and consoles

As of right now not too much I believe. Off the top of my head, Bella won't like you very much if you make DIK choices and I think you'll miss some stuff with her and you'll miss out on a big choice regarding Josy and Maya that requires you to be CHICK or Neutral.

back to the game.

I wonder if I don't stood up for Maya, in the cum- petition, when Quinn harassing her, I lose a relationship point with Maya, but in this way I wonder if Quinn act different or not.

if you defend maya, then there is mentioned in your phone Bio ap , that Quinn noticed I care for maya.
I wonder if I don't protect Maya in that moment, She may not suspect, I'm interested in maya. ?!
