It's quite simple. The only people pissed off at his new rule are:
1. Pirates who will never ever sub to any dev since now they can't play for free.
2. Those who will only join for a month from time to time.
Those who support multiple devs for more than one month are the folks who give developers the majority of their income, they don't care if they have to sub for two or more months since they intend to stay anyway.
Also it's funny when I see people saying "why wait a month after you already purchased the game" You all seem to forget that this is Patreon and not Steam. You don't buy the game, you subscribe to the dev, so more or less he can set this up however he wants for as long as it's announced, so people know before subscribing.
Mate 199 patrons are peanuts. It makes no difference if it's 100 or 199. it's still in the Peanut category. What does this indicate for the third release? A complete failure of a project, and to be honest, it's not surprising.
This game will be abandoned sooner or later, and the Futa (lol) poll is a huge indication of a desperation so high that the "dev" is willing to divert from the story (I don't think it can be called that to be honest) and to
incorporate Futa into it, that's a
HUGE sign of desperation.
No, it's not a hard place. If a longtime supporter of mine asked me to do this, I would flat out refuse. Depriving someone of a product they paid for is lunacy, and completely unethical.
It's an indication of greed and stupidity. He could, for example, say
- I will make a poll at a later time. (And never do that.)
- I will think about it.
- I will consider it.
- I don't think it's a good idea.
etc., the dude is a clown.
As I said above, a desperate clown tends to do desperate clown shit.
The Summary:
The dude is desperate for patrons, thus coming up with this stupid idea. He knows (I think... doubt) that 200 patrons since game release is a really bad sign, and at the moment he is doing what most companies do when they are in a desperate situation, and that is client retention (almost 95% failure rate, by the way). . In this case, patron retention..Rip game..and this was bound to happen sooner or later for the obvious reasons
As someone who works in numbers and knows a thing or two about probabilities, the chances of Dr. Molly (Dex in F95)...this idea About 30 days is his idea, but he wanted to shift the blame from himself to the poor schmucks that support him, thus avoiding a lot of things and doing that poll. They usually come up with the excuse that some patrons are private messaging me, and they asked for this poll. This definitely works, as no one is going to start private messaging other users in Discord. And if it was asked in general, no one would reply, because there was never anyone who asked for it in the first place. From all of this and the 30-day thing, the only guy that is going to be on top is the developer, and how so? Easy; it almost 100% guarantees that the schmuck who is willing to pay and wait for 30 days for the game that he paid for will pay for another month. because he will only be able to get his hands on the game the second time he pays for the second month. Thus, he is out of what? What is the clown calling it? Prison, lmao, it's a 100% scam. and I seriously and honestly feel bad for the people who do this.
The probability of this is pretty high.
