You think that "not mentioning it on Patreon" will make people lose way to their porn? Seriously?!Most important issue is perma ban he can't risk. They could easily call it violation of TOS if he would gather funds on their site for BB. Even without links. They said so in their message to him that he can't gather funds for BB on their site. Another thing is marketing. Majority of people wouldn't know about it sooner or later. This forum isn't as huge as people think. Most players aren't on forums and they pledge what they find.
DMD's Dev won't go with the dummy project either. Too many haters waiting for them to make this mistake I'm afraid. And those who think DS will lose all of his supporters because of the incest removal are wrong. Sure, he might lose a good amount of patrons (the die-hard incest fans) but a lot will stay too, and he'll gain more in the long run (the non-incest crowd) and he'll be able to promote his game on different websites that support adult content but not necessarily incest. In conclusion, I think the removal of incest will benefit the devs in the long term giving them access to a broader audience.People should read previous posts a bit. There is no real alternative to Patreon because of Paypal. If he'll leave Patreon he will lost everything. He can't mod or alter BB cuz Patreon is being harder to deal with and they don't want anything related to BB on their site. He can't put an empty site and develop BB elsewhere as he might be perma banned and he can't risk it. People should understand that BB is dead until real alternative for patreon will come. And it might be years for that. Glamour looks more than decent and I see no reason to blame DS for anything as it's clearly not his fault.
Not mentioning it on Patreon will make those who will visit Patreon unsure. Playerbase is on Patreon. If they will see a page for a different thing they wanted they won't pledge.You think that "not mentioning it on Patreon" will make people lose way to their porn? Seriously?!
As far as ban is concerned: His work on Patreon will (officially) be for that new game Glamour (or whatever). There is no hole in that. As far as his private blog or another (payment) site is concerned, thats none of Patreon business.
(Like I have said earlier, in real life no employer cant forbid you to get 2nd part-time job to earn more money. So there is no conflict in ToS.)
That's just how it is. If DoD will go down (I think it will soon) dev will most likely do the same thing. Dots said he'll develop 2 projects but it means more or less that he will dump DMD at some point when his playerbase switch entirely to new project. Business is a bitch and there is no place for emotions.DMD's Dev won't go with the dummy project either. Too many haters waiting for them to make this mistake I'm afraid.

Dating Ariadne has a huge following but the graphics are horrendous. Imagine if Ds or Mr.Dots would make a similar game. I'd like to remain optimistic and believe that there's a huge opportunity for the devs here.
R.I.P. Big Brother"
0.13 will be released without updater, with decrypted texts and images
it should make modders life much much better
Today is January 27, one year anniversary of Big Brother on Patreon. We had very productive year, our game has earned a lot of followers and we had a lot of plans for it in the future. But, unfortunately, Patreon has decided it doesn't want incest content on their website anymore. First we couldn't mention it in the description, then we couldn't have any adult content on our page for non-subscribers and now our game is banned altogether. And we can't cut out incest out of the game to unlock our page either, so here's what's going to happen in the near future:
1. We're still going to finish 0.13. We won't get any money for it and it's going to be free (you'll find it on the torrent sites, there will be links on discord and telegram, etc.). 0.13 is going to be released on time because a lot of players are waiting for it.
2. Big Brother is going to be frozen and 0.13 is going to be considered a final version of the game for now. We may continue BB development if we find an alternative to Patreon.
3. Our Patreon page is going to be completely reworked and restarted without Big Brother.
4. Our team is going to start working on our new project Glamour full time. You'll know more about it on our new updated Patreon page.
5. We're going to continue giving you regular updates. New screenshots, gameplay mechanics description, interface, etc. We love making adult games and we're going to continue making them, regardless of the temporary setbacks. Stay tuned!

I do not remember how many times such a or a similar proposal has been made.Hello this is my first time here ...i really like this game ... for my small and inexperience opinion .. may be add another scene that prove Max not related by blood or change the introduction ... ha ha but maybe not that simple right ... Great job Dark Silver ... for me this is the best game i ever played ...

Patreon is not his employer, so employment law isn't relevant (and it varies from place to place in any case; see "at-will" states in the US). In theory, the setup you're describing is possible, but it seems like in practice, DS considers it too great a risk. We all thought the DoD/DMD unofficial patch approach would work, too, but it seems like Patreon are serious about this.You think that "not mentioning it on Patreon" will make people lose way to their porn? Seriously?!

Yea last update will be 0,13 after that will be no more update for this game. It will "frozen". I type what DS announce on discord read it up.didnt read all pages ...v13 its the end ?
c'mo fuck those patreon rules..
thanksYea last update will be 0,13 after that will be no more update for this game. It will "frozen". I type what DS announce on discord read it up.
As will my support. I didn't have any interest in Glamour when it first came out, and based on what I've seen and read so far in discord, I still don't. As others have said in this forum and elsewhere, when DS was first suspended, many people gave him suggestions for continuing the game elsewhere, and as far as I can tell he did nothing. I, for one, told him in a post and PM that he needed to make a plan B as it wasn't over, and that Patreon was adding more employees just for reviewing content alone. And again, he did nothing. Other games (like DMD) at least tried to start a website elsewhere for the game, which is why I'll continue to support that creator. I do wish DS well in his future game, but after I get this last BB update, that's it for me."

Well after 0.13 version RIP BB, they plan to make another game call "Glamour"
No, they absolutely can.(Like I have said earlier, in real life no employer cant forbid you to get 2nd part-time job to earn more money. )
Exactly, I have clauses in my contract preventing me to work for any competition companies. If I leave for a non-competition company, they take all my notes and creations during my contract with them as intellectual property. If I leave for competition, I have to pay them a big indemnity... as I receive more every month just that anything like this doesn't happen. It depends on your contract.No, they absolutely can.
For starters they can claim your 2nd job infringes with your main job and fire you for that. Or say you drug the company name through the mud. And a dozen other things.
Secondly, some jobs have a special provision that you would work for them only. Do you think that people working in sensitive jobs like with important court cases, in industrial research, in important pharmaceutical research, in military facilities etc can just get another job and be paid by others?
Because it's more easy to drop the project and to make new one. Shame he will stop update BB and make new shitty normal porn simulator game.why not use ccbill or one of the other payment methods the porn industry uses, start his own site, I'm sure he has the e-mail addresses of all his patreon followers.
If every developer did the same patreon would lose a hell of a lot of money
