As we know, some artists and Dev's just dropped out of touch without a word. Some had discussed long term health issues. We may never know who has passed from complications associated with Covid, but if it is possible, I hope someone will deal with their footprint and maybe add a tag or mention on their content threads so less people gripe about them abandoning supporters and fans.
Covid may have taken some Dev's

Replace the "may" in your title by "have"... we already lost at least one because of this fucking decease.
Don't feel like I'm legitimate to name him, nor like it's my role to do so, but it's not a secret.

oh ... please don't put people that got this horrible virus in the same sentence as the one's with the long term health issues - all the milkers out there. you need half a brain to see the pattern of mental issues to realize that they simply didn't wanted to loose money while not producing ... suddenly all of them became mental ! all of them !? one by one! well shit boys ... the wait for a render to finish is making you insane ??? omg - poor thing!!
There was one that (I don't remember the game he was creating) came out to say - well my daughter wrote on my place in discord about the issues i'm having ... or something like that. His daughter!?
She is so supportive of him making a game about a brother fucking all his family and about to fuck his mother! There a really open minded family right there boys! Daddy - did you made the young son fuck his sister and mother already ? What was the conversation they had ? Asking for a friend !

Yet the unnamed author I mentioned effectively had a long term health issue. It wasn't especially well known, but neither it was hidden.
Well, not all families have a hypocritical relationship you know. Both my son and daughter know that I'm, slowly, working on an adult game ; my daughter even lecture me time to time because I'm too slow. It's called being honest, supportive, and, yes, also open minded.His daughter!?
Anyway, having taboo subjects in a family is the opposite of a healthy relationship. It don't mean that all authors have to tell it to their whole family, just that there's no reason, out of purely personal ones, to not do it.
And since they are both adults and I raised them, I know that they understand that I'm just making a game, and that it's nothing more than a hobbit. Therefore, even if it was about a father having an incest relationship with his daughter, perhaps that it would make her uneasy, but she still would know that it have nothing to do with an untold desire of mine.
You should tell your friend that he have some anger issues.
who died?
while I'm skeptical person by nature and think most of the people having 'health issues' are lying, I don't want to think that of any specific user just for the outside chance that they're not lying about it. I'm also reluctant to condemn people who DO have health issues and keep the pledges open, as by now everyone should know that for example in the US you're pretty much left to die if you can't pay the INSANE bills they're getting. we can literally be talking about their last ditch effort just to stay alive. for that kind of reason I'm fine with my $1-2 pledge staying open. (not that I'm gonna believe most excuses anyway, but fundamentally I'm fine with my money being taken in that situation.)
obviously same is true for a great number of other countries as well, but as I don't know their specific healthcare systems I'm not gonna go guessing.
same thing goes for your family being understanding about some less glorious things you do for living. a lot of people are living in awful pressure with zero buffer between literally being thrown out onto the street or even dying (or even worse their kids dying) for not being able to foot the bills for medicine or treatment they require to stay alive. if you do it for your family and are not hurting anyone, I think you're a goddamn hero regardless if it was jerking people off on an alley. motivation counts.

The long term health problem thing and the talk of a devs children made me think KaffeKop immediately but i'm glad to say i was wrong, he was still working and posting on the 13th, i won't pry into who it actually is that we lost.
Losing people is rough and the laws of probability say that we've lost multiple denizens of this forum and probably a couple of devs too, i'm not normally the soppy type but stay safe people.

Dude who did Lexi passed recently. Chatterbox I think was his PN. I believe CV19 was a contributing factor bot not a 100% on that.
ooops ... struck a nerve
And the "asking for a friend thing" - you didn't get it properly WISE non hypocritical man
You know ... it's funny ... i don't have children but every time when i read - my family is open minded > practice show 100% > "Your full of s**t" ... buuuuut .. hey ... keep the dream alive baby!
and this thing you have for "trying to shine everywhere" ... ts ts ts
well ... that's why there are scandals all over the place. victims are being sign out as covid related but apparently the virus itself simply attacks the immune system by boosting any number of problems you have that usually will not be a problem for your body to keep under control.
all in all - stay safe ... keep your immune system strong and help if you can to the ones that are suffering.
the whole thing starts to look like some kind of aids on martian steroids ...

Unless people had serious health-diseases before, they are not dying from COVID!

You for real? There is thousands of people who died from this that had a perfect health with no previous health issues etc.
You know that strippers and porn stars have kids that know what they do, right?ooops ... struck a nerve

That is very much dependant on where in the world you are, here in the UK the vast majority of deaths are in the old and/or sick but there have been multiple instances of people who have a very high exposure getting taken out by it, otherwise healthy doctors in their 40's, care home staff and the like, while it is true to say that Covid is more often killing those in a weakened position it certainly isn't only killing those people and that's in a developed western country with centralised and effective healthcare. All i'm saying is that to say Covid is only killing the old or infirm is far too much of a generalisation, even if it is the general rule.
tell that to the 500 000+ dead so far. I'm sure it'll be a great consolation to them and their families.
and these are only the confirmed deaths. covid deaths filed under other reasons are on top of this.
I would bet that of the strippers and porn stars who have family that knows what they do, a rather high percentage dissapprove with many of them going so far as to disown them. Not all of them of course, I'm sure some of them are supportive whether they approve or not but it's certainly something to be concerned about for many if not most people thinking about that line of work.
I know that in my case, my family would strongly dissapprove of me making an adult game despite the fact that all of the visuals would be renders of fictional characters.
Anyway back on topic I'm sure there are devs who have dropped off the map due to covid even if they're still alive. The mortality rate may be relatively low for COVID, but it's certainly nontrivial even for a healthy person and actually quite high for someone with a compromised immune system due to health problems or age.
In the US there are also non health related issues to consider. With a wide range of businesses shut down or operating on a skeleton crew, millions have either lost their job or have to make due with dramatically reduced hours. I know my company used the virus as an excuse for mass layoffs (as in more than 10,000) despite being in an industry where social distancing doesn't matter. Almost everyone at my company can and does work from home and our sales haven't dropped at all due to the virus. It's purely an issue of cost cutting to pad executive bonuses.
With unemployment benefits set to expire soon, millions of those people will also become homeless. If you're homeless you're probably not going to be doing much development work.
Of course, although it's a very tiny minority.
Most of them who died or suffering from COVID-19 are elderly or people with underlying conditions.

Maybe you should go catch the sniffles then because its not dangerous enough for you....
Well long term health issues do not have anything to do with the recent Covid-19 outbreak, long term to me means that is predates Covid-19. As for Artists and Devs dropping out of touch, it is nothing new, A/D's have done it for years and also there are some A/D's that use the term "long term health issues" as an excuse to milk Patreons for longer. Also did any of those who claimed to have long term health issues provide any proof or do you just believe anything someone tells you on the internet?
