You don't have to be "forced to do something" to be a scam...You are misunderstanding the difference between expectation and obligation. What makes this situation technically not a scam is the absence of actual obligation (as others have pointed out) regardless of your expectations. Your example with a charity is inappropriate since a charity has legal obligations being registered as a charity.
What you expect and what the creator is obligated to do have to be inline for this to be a scam. So technically it's not a scam since the creator is not actually obligated to do anything since Patreon is simply a method of giving money to a creator; which not to be confused with paying them for work or buying a product. So the platform very much matters. Sorry, but that's what many people on here seem to misunderstand about Patreon.
the "hoax" is part of a "scam"
you can say "give me money and I'll do a painting" if you receive the money and don't do the painting it's a scam. Many scams are outlawed and when they come to trial they are filed as "scam", deceit, fraud, among others, are officially scams, cyber scams are something that happens... the only thing patreon does is make it "legal" what could be "illegal" patreon is "donation" so no matter what you do, you're no doing anything "illegal" but the "scam" is out law is concept of moral
every developer with more than 1k patreons suffers from something called a curse, many diseases, family problems, surgeries, some get covid like 8 times in a year, they even turn a flu into covid 25 XDENOUGH!!!! I will not stand idle while you soil and tarnish the good name of a Dev that has done nothing but deliver tons and tons of content for the past years. Everyone here knows very well that all Patreon creators, specially the ones with most revenue, are cursed with constant unusual afflictions, natural disasters and probably also mystical ailments. It is not a secret that those guys make the majority of Dr House patients.
We've all seen an explorer file organized by date and therefore I'm absolutely sure that the update will be released on April 1st. You can call me a fool if I'm wrong about this.
