Well, there is Segpay, for example. I´m sure there are alternatives.

Fuck patreon. I have been supporting a few youtubers there. Unfortunate for those that I help support, I'm pulling out. I will not be a part of a platform that forces their morals on us. It's just as bad as religious fanatics.
There are alternatives, none as easy and broadly available.
Most people active in internet have a paypal account nowadays.
Far fewer even know of existing alternatives, let alone have an account.
Should he find a way to have his patrons move to another site. It will be a big backfire on Patreon's part because they would lose their cut and him having over 4k patrons would be a pretty big cash cow.
Funny that they will let devs that turn nothing in for months on end keep collecting. I guess fraud is ok as long as they get their end of it.
MrDots has been consistent and on time, but keeping the patrons happy doesn't figure in Patreon's way of working.

i've sent PM to mrdots and now wait to see what he'll answer,in the case he gives more informations i'll post it here
but reading his post again more carefully i become even more miserable,the way he explained the situation does not give any signs for optimism..the mentions of new project and "moving forward" to me sounds like an excuse for abandonment of dmd...one thins is sure,there won't be dmd updates in incoming monhts,i hope so much that i'm wrong

I think you are right.Most people are for DmD.BTW same go for DS.If he think when he replace BB with Glamour that his patrons will stay and support him,he is in huge mistake.I bet at least 30% will leave,won't be surprise if will be even more than 50%.I'm sorry Mr Dots but I would imagine the vast majority of your supporters were only there for one thing and that was DMD. There may be a small percentage that will stick around due to how much they liked DMD and recognising that you would be able to put that quality into your next product but I doubt it would be a large percentage. Truly is a sad day and I now feel the need to shoot some peeps on Battlefield to release some frustration
There is for example "Erotic Illusions". Is mostly for porn comics, but I don´t know why it would not host porn games too if they make as much money as DMD. It uses segpay for monthly payment and customers just need a credit card.
This, so much.
Why on Earth not just go independent? Everyone subscribing to such a game on Patreon is already probably internet-savvy enough to realise they can subscribe via his personal site without necessarily risking anything more. Hell I'd probably be even more inclined to support if they had their own site. As of now I'm not giving Patreon a dollar. They could even change monetisation format, like go with how DDLC does it or something.
I imagine because it is not done.
He said that he was, understandably, not able to work on it since monday, even if he tried.

btw ... never thought about this ... why not collecting the money from funders directly, whithout using a additional service provider?
I don't know how people in US pay their bills, but here (Germany) most regular bills are paid with automatic bill payment (not sure if this is the correct word for "Dauerauftrag" ^^ ).
Transfering money from here to a US bank account costs about 1,50€ (little less than 2$). Seems to be ok.
Probably transfering money from US to US is for free, isn't it?

I think you get the right solution.He actualy don't need to make a new game.He can post montly pictures of his new comic no-text version.Like MatM did.Meanwhile Mr.Dots can continue working on DmD,get payment through patreon and release the game on his site.I my mind it would be the other way around - the new project will get minimal attention (just enough to show there's - minimal - progress ), for its role as a straw man

Yeah, I think they would be fine with something like this.
I'm a great fan of artdude41 (who moves to another places this week ... so no Carey-updates this week, too :'( ).
At least incest seems not to be a problem.
But they use credit cards for payment. So ...

Here is a site he should check out. That he should try to continue the project. I'm sure this forum will try to inform everyone the new site for donation. Or he can do it at his website too.
I'll try to see if there is a site that supports porn even hardcore.
You must be registered to see the links
