I ask myself who's the degenerated piece of shit that reported him. May your loved ones die slow and painfully and live with it! No way MEGA checked his account accidently.
Probably because the same stuff could make him lose his patreon and because the potential legal rammifications don't just limit itself to his online accounts.
As I said there are more options than MEGA and Patreon.. Still think or hope its gonna be a good game.
While he mentioned Mega in passing in his post, if you look more closely, you can see that the point he stresses is
the law, and he mentions that creating and distributing are treated differently than possession.
This probably has to do with the fact that PaleGrass is Irish. I don't know if he's from the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland, but based on this post, I'm guessing that it's Northern Ireland. In Northern Ireland, the laws around pornography are similar to those in England. In both England and Northern Ireland, "extreme pornography" is specifically criminalized. This is only one example among many of how England has gone from once being a truly great nation, to now being a smoking dumpster fire of injustice and oppression. And Northern Ireland, as part of the UK, has sadly followed suit.
So,
if PaleGrass does, in fact, live in Northern Ireland, it is possible that making that content is actually a criminal act for him. I haven't researched the Northern Irish pornography laws in depth. In some places, there is a difference in the law between content (photographic or video) which is produced using live models and content produced as CG images or drawings/paintings. So, depending on how the law is actually written, and whether or not there is any case law to support it, it might still be legal for him to produce CG images. But maybe he has already researched it and found out that this is not the case. Or maybe he's just decided to completely avoid the question.
hey just a quick suggestion,is it possible to entirely neglect the blackmail stuffs in the official portal like patreon and mega but can be released as a separate patches in this forum,
If the problem is the law in PG's home country, then this wouldn't be a solution.
but the distress and downfall lisa goes through is really important
I agree.
i know there are many platforms other than patreon mega so that you can port that separate patch with the darker routes in this forum though ...dont know how it will go i hope not releasing officially and releasing as separate patch in the f95zone forum would be choice that can be considered!
Again, based on his comments about the law, I really don't believe this is a Mega/Patreon problem. This is a problem with oppressive and tyrannical laws in his country.
now i am really worried about the riggs and darker routes in the story when tony comes
You should be.
Is palegrass gonna compromise the sex scenes of darker paths in the future for the sake of this legal issue
Yes, he is.
dude this really blocks the creative freedom in this medium
I agree. But we can't expect PG to risk going to prison over this game.
mahn i have been waiting to see lisa 's RISE after her major downfall,now i think its just gonna be some hardcore violent scenes(ya ya those vanilla stuffs as in other games) without the pulse in it!!
I have also been looking forward to that, and I'm bitterly disappointed by this development. But, again, it's not reasonable to ask someone to risk prison over a game.
fuck fuck fuck fuck the system yo!we really need to find some way though!
Well, the best solution is to change the bad laws in Northern Ireland. But neither PG nor any of us will be able to accomplish that in the timeframe necessary to save this game from being ruined. And yes, I do consider the game ruined.
The next best solution (in terms of saving the game from ruin, not in terms of what works for PG in a business sense), would be for PG to move to the Republic of Ireland. But this game doesn't bring in anywhere near enough money for him to pay for a move, and then repeatedly pay for the extra travel expenses to go see his family in Northern Ireland on a regular basis.
Basically, PG got fucked by the tyrannical laws of his home country, and this game got fucked, as well.
