They don't need to check code, what are you blathering about?
so if they have anything that can be patched to incest they will likely fuck them over again.
Read your own text before replying. Do you not know how a patch or renpy works? Patreon can't check if there is anything that can be patched without looking at the code. Everyone can change the source code of a game and release it, if they looked at a renpy tutorial once. You can replace every word even if you're not the developer. The whole game can still get patched into incest, even if they rewrite it.
They obviously don't watch EVERY game but they do watch games they already asked to change their shit. Stop with your nonsense hyperbole.
Oh, so now it doesn't count and there is no risk, huh? Sure is weird that this logic only works when you say so.
We all know why the patches exist but the point you seem to dodge every single time is these devs linked to the patch, that's how they got caught.
No. You don't seem to actually know why patches exist. I replied to this point multiple times already in this thread. Are you unable to read? Whether they were caught or not isn't the point here. Just don't link your patch and/or include it in your patreon. I don't see how this requires a complete rewrite. They're already patching over their own base text that shouldn't have incest content in it. In a normal case, the game is a different entity from the incest patch! I'm not talking about incest in general for the game which you seem to confuse with the incest patch. This isn't solely about the incest but all of the content that gets rewritten. The game should be able to work without a patch otherwise it isn't really a patch, but the source code the game relies upon.
You keep dragging an debate on when it doesn't matter. They got caught, they don't want to lose their Patreon so they are removing incest completely, job done that's it.
You were the one who started this reply chain with me and are still going endlessly about it with your "N-Nu uh it's dangerous" rhetoric. What the fuck are you on about? If you don't like to converse with me, just stop, or is this about you winning an argument here? If anything you're the one dragging this shit on because you keep saying the same shit over and over again without actually discussing my points. Just do it once, mate. Like I said a million times to you now, just not having an incest patch in your links would do the job instead of huge time intensive rewrites that could potentially fuck over the narrative you built and fans got to like. I'm going by the assumption here that the game would work without one too, because 99.8% of all games here do. If you really don't wanna risk anonymously releasing a patch, where there is no way someone could actually trace it back to you, that's fine but there is no need for a rewrite, if you understand how an incest patch should work. If the story becomes an entirely different beast, it ceases to be the game people originally wanted to see get finished.
it isn't going to change a single thing.
Never said or thought that it would. I suggested that there are ways to do this without being a moron or having to rewrite tons of text while still satisfying their fandom, which you seem to have a problem with, for some reason. I don't even know if the developer reads this thread.
They don't want to do anything to risk losing their spot again so they are rewriting.
The risk is already permanently there. The patch exists on the internet and previous versions of the game do too now. When the next update comes out there is still the danger that someone could make a patch whether they want it or not. There is nothing stopping patreon from banning the developer for a patch they didn't make if we apply your logic.
That's what is happening whether you like it or not.
Ah yes. Because I can't change anything, I shouldn't be talking about it, "whether I like it or not".
In a forum that is made for discussion of these kind of games and these kind of topics.
Right. If you got anything more to say than "It can't be changed, stop talking" or "It's too dangerous, stay mad, bro", feel free you give a very very quick and short reply because you apparently don't like when someone is dragging on a conversation?
