I didn't write that!! Saw it on lewdpixels
hopefully more and more people would understand the scam nowThat was pretty good, though I think everyone here's already up to speed with what's going on. I still remain fascinated as to how he can still have a large amount of supporters who are basically left empty handed month in month out..it's just mind blowingly baffling. I'm almost ready to say that his patrons just feed his account to watch people comment in this thread and lose their shit at how much he's making. lolA summary for everyone

I posted a tl;dr almost a year ago too that went even further into detail. I used to give Gumdrop my shekels once upon a time, so everything you see in my post comes directly from Gumdrops lying lips.A summary for everyone

It's mind boggling...and as long as chumps like that keep paying, and people in forums like this keep defending their actions, these scammers will just keep doing it

most at f95 understand that scamdrop is scamming but making his patrons to understand it is next to impossible.
very few on this thread defend scamdrop.
I don't get it:
It's not illegal to cancel, you're not signing up to any contract. (There were no annual subscriptions back in 2018 and 2019).
It reminds me of one lady on welfare who posted a complaint about the state of an apartment she was granted and started her complaint with "Last month, we accepted an apartment". And instantly antagonized everyone who was reading that post.
Whining that gumdrop is still accepting payments is crass.
Like cxx just said:
And that's a huge problem, because when somebody understands that they're not getting what they're paying for, they will either cancel, or they will go to complain. And there they will find dozens of such apologists and they will start buying into their argument and will start expecting gumdrop to give them something.
So close and yet so far! I mean, that dude makes a very valid point, but normal people would just cancel at that point and only come back if there's an update, and even then be wary.

Another thing that I don't get. "Accepting monthly payments" is absolutely passive. Sure, he could close down his Patreon, he could suspend payments, but if he didn't, it's only your choice to give him money or not. Sure, gumdrop is a con and a crook, and all that, but if it's clear to you, simply don't give him money.

Exactly. The problem with his patrons is that most don't understand that they're being swindled out of their money, but at the same time, "the enlightened remainder" is making inane arguments like that one on the linked page, and whining that gumdrop is scamming them out of their money, which they are freely giving to him every month. They seem like they expect special privileges just because they're giving him money.

He had his account suspended twice in 2018. It obviously made a huge dent in his finances, and it was why he diversified to his own page and to Steam.
That's also when he released version 0.99. I didn't look for it, so I don't know what differences there are between 0.99 and 0.98. Other than ignoring your complaints outright, another possibility is that Patreon did look at your complaint, checked version 0.99, found no offending content and didn't bother replying. We'll probably never know.

I'm not here for trolling. i came here with reason. and idk. fucking talk about all of your opinions on the game. since rn it's basically a sinking ship.
You know we can see what you post in Discord right? Why so desperate for attention?
Y'all keep asking why people still complain. A better question is why you still troll and defend Gumdrop. Obviously the complainers are usually new people who got conned then spoke up.
Everyone here knows there will never be another update until his finances take a major hit if then. Yes it is inappropriate to con people even if they are "willingly" paying him.

i never defend Gumdrop. and I'm desperate for attention because to me the more attention you get, the more funnier things will be. but don't worry i am not here for that, discord is the place for that.
you remind me of Joshua
