Ok guys, time to cut the crap and stop shitting on DS.
BB is just a game. DS got support from his patrons on Patreon to keep developing it up until this unfortunate Patreon change of policy.
As 0.13 development is already paid for he will release it to fulfill his obligation to his patrons.
Looking at the situation from a strictly business perspective, DS has every right to decide how will he proceed with his career.
His decision, albeit probably not the best one, is not to cut ties with Patreon, put BB on hold and continue with another vanilla game that will fit with new Patreon rules and policies.
If you don't like his decision - you will probably withdraw your patron pledge and spend your money elsewhere. It's entirely your choice just as DS made his own choice. I cancelled my support today and I am probably not the only one.
For all of you others who never paid a dime to play BB... just cut the crap. You were pirating his game and playing it for free. You have no right to spew shit on him for making his own decisions.
It is my belief that the number of his patrons will plummet because of his decision and probably force him to seek another solution to continue BB if he wants to stay afloat as a game developer... or maybe not. Time will tell.
Anyway, it's up to him and I wish him the best of luck to find the way to stay afloat.
