Why should dev be banned? That's moronic, he has the same right as we do to lurk here. Besides piracy, people here gives insight and reviews that may or may not help dev to shape his game so banishing devs will only make harm on the long run.
BTW where's last version apk, ayoooo

I was just responding to that person saying that people are scared to get banned, because there's a unique id attached to the game.I don't know if that's true. I'm just saying, if it were true it would make more sense for the dev to not be here, since the people would get caught. But now that I remember I don't think the Dev cares. I think they just don't want people to post their game in there like discord channels

I have neither the will, nor the power to report and delete messages myself. Pirates will pirate

This is likely the reason why.


On the note of piracy though:

Fallout is pretty cool I'll give you that much, but...

You haven't wasted even a second before choosing to share the newest update after it was posted in my private channels. You should know that I of course banned you from my channels for what I would hope are obvious reasons.
Out of respect for choosing to at least keep the code secret, I will honor a refund if you choose to initiate one.

You probably already know that the bond of trust between us as creators, and you, as an individual part of a greater community, is what keeps games like HoS alive. I create, hoping to earn your trust and support, and you support, trusting that I'll keep creating.
Our product lives or dies by that same bond.

With that in mind, I am sure you've seen many other games you've come to enjoy over the years come and go as creators vanish into thin air after losing either part of the equation.

So out of curiosity I must ask, why would some of the earliest supporters of HoS act like this?
Do you so vehemently hate the product, or the creator to the extend that you want to see it/them fail?
Is it just for a quick dopamine hit from some internet points?

Pirates, will of course pirate. If not you, then someone else would inevitably leak it. I am not writing this in hope of preventing future piracy. Just some food for thought for anyone who cares!



A mod singled out my game amongst a myriad of shittily monetized and permanently paywalled games, and decided that HoS deserved to be the one to get permanently promotion-banned from F95 for having 2% of its current content behind an Early Access model, or temporary paywalls if you wanna go that far.

I am now being blackmailed by the same mod who wants to dictate how I monetize my game. His request boils down to "Remove all early-access content or your game stays banned and you can suck a cock." (He didn't explicitly say the last part!)

My game currently has a tiny amount of content that is temporarily reserved for supporters which is later made available for free to everyone. If you care to read more about how exactly it works, you can read through one of my posts on my game's page. With that, I want to raise the following questions for F95:
  1. Why can a single mod dictate how our games are monetized and If there are rules regarding monetization that allow them to do so, why are they not explicitly stated somewhere. More importantly, why are hundreds of games that engage in FAR more predatory practices, exempt from similar treatment when they are hosted on the same site for multiple years?
  2. Should any moderator of F95 have the ability to dictate promotion-eligibility based on what I can only imagine, is likely a personal vendetta of a power-tripping mod? Can we as developers somehow hold THEM accountable for fair and equal treatment? Or is that something we concede the moment we sign up for F95?

I have read through the rules and have no quarrel with F95 being predominantly a pirate website. My issue lies entirely with the fact that a single mod came up with his own rules and selectively applied them to my game, and my game alone.
-------------------------------------------------------

As of now, the matter is entirely outside of my control.

Looks like he obviously condones it, but it doesn't look like he really care to waste time banning people

Instead of everyone begging, why don't you guys pool money together like 20 of you pitch in like .50 cents and buy and redistribute the game on here so you can all have it day one?

Dude is good with words, reading through that is like you're reading an incantation that would brainwash you to not share the update here, no wonder why we got no leak even after more than 24h has passed since the release. (Joking)

The part about games and devs vanishing isn't completely due to piracy, it's just people don't support greedy devs who also don't put much effort into their games, that's how they vanish. There's this other game that i played and actively waiting for it's next update ( leak :p ) despite that game getting leaked here within a couple of hours from release, that dev still has more than 1200 patreon subscribers with 3 tiers (5, 10 and 20$ i think). there are those who decide to support dev after playing the game from here, not necessarily from the get go, but after a couple of releases or more, so yea there you have it, sharing the link here will actually help the dev, so give us the link lol
