Mr.Dots (and his supporters) donating to help to lessen a horrible tragedy is good.
I'm just thankful where I live isn't going through something like that. West Virginia has enough problems.

Dude - his "global warming denier bullshit" has just as much right to be here as your "Greta Thunberg wannabe bullshit". As in, none.
I don't appreciate misinformation/lies which seek to undercut MrDots' effort to be helpful here, or perhaps you missed my various references to such. Dude.

Science isn't controversial in this case and MrDots seeks to help a bad situation in his own small way through a good charity, but politics of ignorance thwarts that measure: hence, why I called out that bs. If you can't see the diference, I can't help you.

Note I offered no politics of my own in defense of MrDots' effort.

I'm OK with muttdoggy slapping me.

If the author of the game decided to give part of his money to charity and wants others to follow his example, then one could say that all donations for the game for the month (or several months) are sent to charity. Or ask all the patrons to transfer the money not to him but to the wildlife fund. And so it looks like PR against the backdrop of a natural disaster. In addition, there are many other problems in the world. For example, people in Africa die of hunger, etc. Why did only Australia's problem deserve the attention of the author?
In general, charity is a good thing, but it is praised by charity or using it for your own purposes nullifies good intentions.

People pay money for the game and wait the game. How the author wants to manage this money, let him decide for himself. As well as people who are not indifferent to the tragedy of Australia, they can independently transfer donations directly to the fund. The principle: donating to the game separately, donations to the fund separately...

The DMD post mentioning the $5 donation makes no reference to the game. The post does however offer an additional treat to those who would not donate otherwise, in the form of what I suppose are nudes of DMD characters.

It also gives a direct link to an AU wildlife organisation that handles donations, if you want to donate and don't care about the nudes.

I'm not sure what you're actually disapproving of here, but maybe I am misunderstanding your intent; I had trouble parsing it.

You clearly didn't even bother to read MrDots' write-up on the donation page.
His main writer is Australian, THAT'S why the cause has his attention, and why he wants to help.

It's incredible some of the BS people post on this site, just to draw attention to themselves, when all this dev and team are trying to do is a kind, selfless thing. He doesn't need to do a damn thing, yet, he has, and has most peoples respect for that.
Who's to say he hasn't donated to other charities that we don't know about? :cautious:

EdIt: Agreed preglovr12. If none of you have anything positive to say about any dev donating and raising money for a charity, it sure as hell has no place here. Or anywhere for that matter.

Everyone
Hello all, apologies for the lack of communication, had a day off yesterday.
Well, you guys are incredible!
You well and truly smashed the $1,000 mark, and that number continues to rise.
I'll give it until January 27th, which should be the earliest point for us to make our donation toWildlife Australia.
I will also post up a shot of the exact figure that will be donated into this charity - and put "Fans of MrDotsGames" as the name of the donator.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend, and for those of you in Australia, I hope you received some of the much-needed downpour that came down the past couple of days in parts of the country.

Believe preglovr12 wasn't pointing towards people talking about donating but was saying that the whole donation pledge in general doesn't belong in this thread...FULLY agree

It is actually DMD-related - that was a lure being used and the adult gaming community was MrDots' targeted audience for donations.

people who donated for the cause of australia please upload the exclusive photos
Really? I never complain on piracy of the game, but I disagree with this request. I understand your lack of funds. Perhaps bring this request up again after June of this year when Australia has made it thru the fall and is well into their winter.

In addition, Hearsz lives close to the fires. For example, the location where his brother just got married burned down in the fires ... so the events are closer to home than others.

But if you were to question whether or not this donation would affect more human lives than others? Probably not since funding a malaria prevention organization or an organization that provides solar panels for impoverished people in third world countries would probably have more impact, and more lasting. But for the MDots team, this has poignancy.

If you read my post, then I didn’t write about helping Australia is bad. "In general, charity is a good thing..."+"How the author wants to manage this money, let him decide for himself".
The question is how it is presented. While the problems did not concern the authors, no one spoke about charity. And as soon as it was touched, it immediately began.
You should always do charity work, and not just when it concerns you. And if you do it, you will not boast about it right and left.

Real charity is a complete transfer of funds to the addressee without extracting their own benefits:

(Although in this situation, the manufacturer company will receive certain benefits for themselves)

In addition, I wrote not only about the author but also about f95. Discussing the topic with the game about the problems of Australia is not the best solution. I was more affected not so much by the content of the author’s post than by the discussion in this topic.
In the topic with the game, I personally am interested in the game, and not where the author of the game is going to spend his money. and if we are talking about charity, then it does not need to be imposed. I am able to read about world problems on relevant resources and make my own decisions about charity and other things.
I hope that in this topic we will discuss the game, and not how to do charity work, etc...
