This thread is quick to jump to conclusions based on... nothing?!
Skimmed though the last couple of pages, and please correct me if i'm wrong.
While dmd is not mentioned on patreon, his other personal pages are receiving updates.
As for the reuploadings of earlier chapters, I found this in the commentsection from just a day ago:
) as it gives some time to sort what is up and down, while finishing up what time patreon stole from the project.
Have you ever been on the creative end of things? Well you dont rush things in fear of making errors. Or in this case getting banned from patreon.

So who's saying it dead or on hold? I dont see it.As for the reuploadings of earlier chapters, I found this in the commentsection from just a day ago:
In short they need time to sort this out, and understandably. Given the current situation things can change, but I dont see that happening. The mid-february was smart (and sad

In what world are you living that the removal of topics like incest leads to just "4-5" genres and storylines that the poor devs have to choose from? Because that is simply bullshit - Even with the banning of such topics there is nearly endless range of things to do and storylines to explore...

If you bothered to look back through the last week or so's posts you would see for yourself.
@muttdoggy can we PLEASE suspend this thread until DmD .17 is finally released? It’s been 30 odd pages of ifs related to patreon new rules (already new threads are out there) there is a Patreon kills DmD thread and so on. 742 pages and counting! I’ve read all of them and on topic post
Please invest 10 minutes of your life and check the last posts FYI: pages 722 and onwards.

The real problem here is not Patreon itself (I mean, they are being a dildo, sure). This incest witch hunt was triggered by none other than Paypal.
Paypal has a very strict policy regarding where the money comes from, specially if it's from porn
Strict as in: "Nope, you can't earn money with porn. Not on our watch!"
Good thing is, I read somewhere that eBay dropped Paypal usage (and they were, like, BFF for quite some time now). Hopefully this is Paypal's slow descent into disuse and other, more open-mined, alternatives will appear.
But that's just wishful thinking, with all the liberal propaganda and political correctness looming over the internet nowadays I really doubt it'll happen anytime soon.

Not for nothing but I actually laughed out loud when you talked about liberal propaganda and political correctness considering if the religious right had their way all pornography would be illegal..
Those liberals are the only reason porn isn't outlawed. Just thought it was kind of funny...

Liberals, religious right, whatever. Same shit, different names. In the end of the day they are just conceited biggots who try to tell us how we should live.
Anyway, when I said liberal propaganda I was refering to the incest and mind control fetishes, as they (the libs) frown a lot uppon that.

Sorry, you are wrong Paypal is accepted as payment methods for many pornsites and vdategames website. They have a deal with epoch who are fundimentally a porn payment processor.
The whole kick has come from somewhere else. It reeks of a court order. Look at within 3 months new community guidelines where implamented and enforced vigoursly. This is pressure from Law enforcment or the ISP of the site who has spoken Law Enforcment.

Does it now? Hmm...
IIRC I read somewhere on Paypal's ToS that they didn't allowed it...
Eh... Maybe I'm mistaken then.
I am really not trying to get into a political argument but historically that flat-out isn't true. One group is has been publicly against all pornography and the other has been advocating it as free speech but does not fight for the fringes. I will let you guess which is which but I will tell you that if the one side had it's way you would not have to worry about what happens on the fringes because anyone showing a tit would be against the law.
They simply are not comparable. You can jump on liberals for a lot of things if you want but not for porn. IE: Larry Flint

Yep, as you said, let's not jump on political argument, I shouldn't had even mentioned liberals and stuff, sorry. We're on a forum about fetish porn games after all.
Politics are a really hot and sensitive topic nowadays. Some think they (politics) are necessary (a necessary evil, if you will), others (like me) think they are useless and just hamper free society development.
Aaaaaanyway... Getting too political again, sorry.
If there was a court order, there would have been a prosecution, a suit of some kind would've been filed. I don't know much about American law, but even a private prosecution would surely have to be public record, and there are no Federal private prosecutions. I think we would have heard about it if Patreon had been taken to court, basically.
I'll say again that it's probably no coincidence that this came shortly after Patreon took a bunch of VC money. That money almost surely came with strings attached regarding monetisation strategy (hence the attempted fee restructuring late last year) and it's no stretch to think the investors tacked on "Kick out the weird kids" along with that.
No worries bud. I would imagine arguing porn politics would be like being in the 14th circle of hell. Like I said I just thought it was funny. Have a good one.
It is not that simple. There doesn't have to be a court order and it doesn't have to be public. A government agency could have hit them with subpoena compelling them to produce documents while simultaneously hitting them with a gag order. Like they did with Lavabit.

If that happened they can't say anything and they might be simply trying to expunge anything they may think will be damaging to them in the future.
