selebus used to be on patreon. patreon threatened him. his sensible fans told him to abandon patreon because you can't trust them. selebus still wanted that money from patreon and didnt want to move so he spent a massive amount of time changing things. patreon lied. Selebus is no longer on patreon
there is also a skit somewhere in the game I think with sana where she has a mental breakdown ranting about it and some loser tech services person named morgan.
Not quite. There were two reworks. The first one was hasty, and yes, it was at Patreon's behest, but none of those changes are still in the game. Those changes only ever existed in the sanitized version he made for Patreon, and once you applied the adult content restoration patch, or if you got the game through Subscribestar or Itch.io, there was no trace of Huggy Boy in the game unless you specifically borked your install to make it happen. Huggy Boy hasn't been supported since the Patreon came down.
Literally the only trace of Huggy Boy left in the supported game is Sana's rant, which was added AFTER the Patreon rugpull, and was never part of Huggy Boy itself.
The changes you see in the game today are all changes that Selebus wanted to make, and were part of a rework that he had mentioned wanting to do a year prior to the Patreon nonsense that didn't finally start until the end of Chapter 2.It is wholly unrelated to Patreon, and didn't start development until after the rugpull had already happened.
