So your funds get cut off a week before your bill needs to be paid.
Seriously, the only though on anybody's mind would be to do whatever needs to be done to get their funding back.
Messing around with Patreon's policy is surely the dumbest thing you can do if you want your funding mechanism available again.
Truely stop thinking with your dick. If it's so easy to resume BB and get paid for it. Please tell him what to do.
Patreon specifically told DS that if there any link whatsoever to any site or anything hosting BB, they will suspend him again.
For you it's just your lust and 20$ at stake. For DS it's his livelyhood.

Apart than he had stated in the past than this game was not something he liked. Than he would have preferred to work on another project. Now he got to do that. For some people it looks so convenient.
Again, I do not care myself: He did a game with great potential, was fun for awhile, people who wanted sent him money for that, people who wanted stopped to send money for that.
No one was hurt, many were pleased, everyone acted as he wanted to act. So all is fine in my books.
Obviously his personal stuff in this new pet project is more in being a girl and getting fucked by everyone in every way possible.
Great for him, but not for me
DS - re-login, we recognized you. Lot of new members with such type of shit: bla-bla stop think you dick. I organized payment for diff companies - no issues to get payment in real, just need want to do this. Simple solution:
$10 DigitalOcean wordpress site with new version and payment account. Just need to do this stop this shit with "Truely stop thinking with your dick."

You are just a self centered pussy.
DS made a product, people liked it and paid money on patreon for it.
People kept liking it, and DS kept producing it. (Supply and demand you know)
Now is funding for it was stopped, so he can not continue on it. Simple as pie.
He does not owe you shit. He is trying the best way to go forward that will no cause financial ruin for him and his team.
You can choose to support him or you can stop, that is on you, not DS.

In my honest opinion, Dark Silver should be proud of what he did. BB is/was his first game, and he proved himself one of the most successfull developers around. I have no idea of what is going to come, but he deserves a little bit of trust to say the least. We're all sad for what happen, but blaming him like this does not help at all.
It's a much more difficult moment to him than to us, and considering where we are, and the fact that he's here answering our question, we owe him a supportive attitude.

My sentiment 100%.
I lot of people really liked the game and are very disappointing about the current situation.
Yes the game had flaws and yes, the game was not perfect, but it was the most popular game on here.
Personally, I just wish DS get's through this intact financially and can finds a way to continue working on BB in the mid to near future.

It is not his first game, and from far.

I've been a happy $40 patron for BB up until now and would happily continue if there was another way to support it. I know it's sad to say but most people on Patreon are supporting the game itself, They are not supporting you on a personal level.
As much as i wish you hope in the future the fact that you have thrown the game that everybody was supporting you for under a bus and continue to use the same Patreon account to fund a new game suggests that you are more interested in protecting your Patreon account and your bankroll more than you are interested in keeping your integrity and finding an alternative.
Given the amount that you are making from Patreon I can't say I wouldn't do the same in your shoes but surely you can understand the vitriol you are recieveing for this move. To use your own anology..
Yes you are a drug dealer who got caught and you have decided to go straight edge instead of risking losing everything but surely you can understand why most of the junkies who you have been providing a fix for up until now are so pissed off, You have basically said that you can no longer provide them with meth but for the same price you will happily give them diet pepsi as an alternative...

I actually agree on this one.
Having said that, DS is between a rock and a hard place. Had this happened say the first of Jan, he would have a month to try and figure out what to do. Unfortunately, he had a week to come up with a solution or face financial ruin.
I'm sure he would have preferred to just continue on BB Ad infinitum. The game and Graphics is addictive.
so, the game indeed died before we got to see lisa boned in the front door.
by how it was going (not with patreon, with how he was developing the game) I would lie if I said that I didn't expect this.
I actually thought that this would have happened because he got tired of the game or got too much money to care about it, but patreon has beaten my bets.
the real shame is the agreement that he had with his patreons, that will never be fullfilled. Imho, he can talk whatever he wants about being legal or not, but that's a Patreon related thing, and he's backing down for convenience, not because of legal matters. When you want to do something, you find the way to do it. It's like when you date a person: when you want to see her/him, you find the time in your day. He simply doesn't really want to.

You are probably right, he has said in the past than the themes of the game were not what he liked, but he is free to do that.
The consequences are, and that is their right too, to have Patreon or possible Patreon disgusted or not interested by his new project which is not that new since that is more a rework of his true first game, Glamour.
Everyone is free, him included, but you must cope with the consequences of your choices, including financial.

And you undeservedly forgot GGGB)) (good girl gone bad)
but what prevents f95 to create a platform like Parteon, for developers of games for adults, a commision of 5% is not someone who has not canceled, people go to the product and where this product.
as full of options to create your business card site to attach payment tools specifically for the project BB, as well as parallel to develop the project Glamor, since Partheon does not want to leave.
a lot of very intelligent guys, with their work we could see in the Fanart section, connect them, interest and motivate. one word to grow.
everyone knows about the Darksilver and its product Big Brother.
sorry for my english

Do you know how difficult it is to handle financial and taxes internationally?
This is not the kind of stuff you do easily at all and F95 is a hacking forum not a platform for DEV support.

DS knew Patreon was doing this. and it seems he ignored it. SO, he could have re-written the characters, just like everyone else, as non-family. i think he gave up on this project because of the base. too many mods, too many whiners, too many complainers. too many copycats. i understand his choice, but really. it would have been better if he just adjusted the story. but in the long run, noone really knows why he would dump this for another. the game is likeable, too grindy. mods made the replay more interesting. i hope he just adjusts BB to a non-family game. it might be a benefit for him.
if you read this thread, there is a whole bunch of butthurt. It looks convenient until you see that every other Game with similar interests are getting the axe as well. Its not just him pulling a fast one over people.Apart than he had stated in the past than this game was not something he liked. Than he would have preferred to work on another project. Now he got to do that. For some people it looks so convenient.

Great for him, but not for me
Anyways, i just dont like seeing people attacking one another without looking at the other side of it and thinking with their dicks instead of their brains.
To be honest, i dont think people really want a re written game. I dont think that was the appeal of this project. The title of the game speaks for itself.
Anyways, maybe he will pick it up at a later date when he has another viable option. There was too much money being made for him to not continue it. IM pretty sure the project was funding his way of life.
