Is he really getting sued? I've been lurking in this forum for awhile, I thought things like this were protected by fair use, unless it's because his Patreon and him making money at it is why that's happening?
Technically porn is covered by fair use. But, legally speaking, every court IS going to side with a corporation. (Like, there's a reason anyone that even
remotely does Nintendo stuff: Is VERY careful to not show OR mention it.
But: In THIS specific case: It's due to the fact that I AM the co-creator of this game. (Without me, NONE of this would exist.) And after 2 years of empty promises to uphold his end of the bargain, he broke our verbal contract, repeatedly AND lied about it. (That's when Gloria was removed from the game.)
That was then followed by ANOTHER two years of excuses and empty promises that he WOULD totally re-add Gloria and make up for everything.
Then, around 3 months ago. He was given an ultimatum: Get his shit together.
Or else.
He chose else and went all "Löl, what you gonna do bitch? Sue me?".
And well... Not sure about every other dev on this platform, but it's VERY rare to sign a legally binding porn contracts as indie devs. So, the ONLY option left after he blocked and ghosted me EVERYWHERE, was legal action.
To which he is now bitching about how I didn't try to "solve it civilly".
He then committed perjury twice. And went on a purging spree, trying to delete ALL evidence of the internet of the fact that Gloria every existed in the game.
And he seems unable to grasp that, just because he deleted the messages on his end... doesn't delete copies I made back in October. Which, as said: Are going to look GREAT next to his other behaviors.
He is 100 % expecting me to fold over the fact that it would "be difficult" to sue him over in England.
Which... who knows? Maybe it's legal to commit perjury over there? They're no longer in the EU, so it complicates things.
But yeah, his story has change form that I created Hole House. To that I "helped" with it. To that actually, he has created 100 % of the art, assets, writing, BG, and even the kitchen sink.
