Well most devs are trying to make a game and make money, Gumdrop is just trying to make money. You can't really blame the guy for doing what he does, he's made over 200k (before taxes and patreon cut) in the last 1 year and 9 months for no work. If my boss paid me 200k to skip work, I'd never work either like gumdrop tbh. The pathetic ones are those who give him money.
I dont think so. I imagine patreon has similar rules as kickstarter which protect them and the creator. They dont have to give you anything in return. His tiers simply promise that they give you access to the updates earlier than others. I'm not defending his actions of course but I am talking purely from a TOS standpoint. Pretty sure it is fair game and it is up to users not to support it.
He's not breaking any laws or TOS lol, but in a general I guess you could call it fraud. He's just scamming his patrons, pretending like he's making a game when really he's just sitting on his ass collecting their checks. He's not breaking any rules or laws, this is simply a case of a bunch of idiots giving him money who are too stupid and/or delusional to realize that Gumdrop is taking advantage of them. Gumdrop is trying to make as much money as he can with as little work as possible. He's still getting paid while he's not working, so he continues to to work. If they actually stopped pledging to him and showed him he has to put in work for his money this update would have been out by now, but they don't and continue to enable him not to work. Why work when you're already getting paid for nothing?
The idea would be for a few people to buy it, write the reviews and then refund it quickly. Then anyone here can mark that review as "helpful" so it rises to the top and people can see the true nature of this scammer.
Can confirm they do, at least they did like 4 months ago.
And exactly what did I speak up against again? Care to repeat? How about it clown?
Pretty sure talking about him in the way many people do isn't making him famous and he doesn't make money off views on this site
I got several early access games on steam that doesn't have any achievements or trading cards yet. So that doesn't really mean anything, also in regard of claim it's censored. That's not true either according to a "dev" post. (no idea, if that is gd, or whoever else though). @
Good idea, Aorrta for sure can get kind of same label
