- turning the game into a predatory gacha hellscape was necessary for the project's survival
Wait, didn't they say previously that 'we the community' voted for the game to become this?
But now it's necessary?

Also, what about the mysterious investor?
Did we ever find out how much they invested?
If the game's very survival relies on a gacha hellscape, despite the patreon income and 'a big investor', that investor must've just bought him lunch or something.
"Here's a $5 Hot & Ready, the game needs to be always-online and multiplayer now."

- apparently patreon and steam are stalking Helius' public accounts and all the places related to the game to look for Galatea/illegal content
Also, yes, of course they are.
Even coming from Helius, I actually believe this. They do it for other creators all the time.
If Patreon or Steam find out you're adding something to a project via an outside download or whatever, that is funded/hosted on their sites, where they explicitly said "Don't fuckin do this", they 100% will remove your project and be well within their rights to do so.

I think we all know deep down that the mod staff are paid in "Neo England Pounds."
No wonder Pasix also has his own Patreon asking for money with no productivity in return like a beggar. "Pwease give me money I got no money to buy food"

"Community management, translation, proofreading, marketing and of course software..."
Software what!? You ain't doing shit!

But then again, nobody ever has had any factual proof of all these famous mystery "devs" (who somehow went from being poached by Scamlius to being poached from them) and "investors", and for all we know, even Pussix could be a Scamlius alter ego.

If anything, the only real part there is the hard monetization being a must, as the shady chinese modder team must have figured by now that those numbers won't go on indefinitely and they need to secure a way to sustain their newfound lifestyles.

It's hilarious because this flagrantly violates Patreon's own community guidelines, specifically requesting money in return for doing nothing, but their report system is basically a process flow of BS that just ends in "contact the creator."

And is he even a developer? I've not once seen him make a comment that even remotely suggests he has a computer science background, and admittedly I don't know how things are in China but I find it difficult to believe that an even remotely skilled software dev would be driven to the point of begging. My field of expertise is rather narrow, so perhaps not directly comparable, but I barely even work 6 months out of a year and can afford a comfortable lifestyle.

No good dev will ever "work" as a discord mod, at least not at Pasix's level of bootlicking.
Someone that can be a dev has much better things to do with their life than offer their time to some obscure porn project that they can't even put on their resume afterwards, possibly unpaid too.

God forbid they had made a good game that people wanted to buy.
No, they DID NOT made a game whatsoever, only scam and empty promises/lies. You can't call a game bunch of animated galleries and graphical benchmark.
It is the same, as if Scamlius & Co were paid in xerox money copies or paper vouchers with promise to paid later, not the real money.
They managed to scam a lot of people, they must receive their punishment.

Hey so uhhh anyone know which version of Denuvo this game uses because ...if it's V18 we may be onto something. But for some reason I doubt it's V18 and I can't even find any docs on the versions of Denuvo.

I think you can use hex editor on .exe to check mentions of denuvo but I don't know any more details.
But does it really matter which version it is? I mean empress is the only person(or maybe secretly a group) who is able or willing to crack denuvo at the moment. How are you going to persuade that nutjob to crack this game?
