Uh, and here I was dumb enough to think people used common sense when tipped someone.Very good position, especially if you haven't released updates in over two years. But tip jar isn't empty, just because. We support all creators because even those who do nothing pay us a percentage of the donations.
Quiz; Let's say you find a game by a creator that is completed, you download it, enjoy it. You check out the creators patreon, it looks like it's slow progress on whatever project they doing next. Would you be inclined to tip that jar based on what enjoyment you already got out of it? Or would you just take the stance he is an awful slacker going nowhere and doesn't deserve anything?
Would assume quite a lot of GD's patreons pledge based on what he already done, but fall short to realize when last update actually did occur. And since his game is plastered all over internet, it's not like there is a shortage of people jumping onto that train (at least for a short while).
Patreon won't enforce content outside their rules and guidelines. With the diversity of content creators on Patreon how would you see that happen? Oh, you a author are you? Writing books? Yeah, you need to complete a new book at least every 3 months, or else...
If people lack the judgement call to make rational decisions, maybe they should been banned from use internet at all.
