It's time that F95ZONE mods did something about this. Not sure how to do it. Maybe something like a Green, Orange and Red light poll for the devs. The community will decide the light that the game and the dev deserves and then the mods will approve and the light will be shown beside every game of that certain dev. Green will be for active devs who don't miss deadlines and all...Orange for the decent devs and red for someone like Icstor. We badly need a dev review system. Must make sure that people support the devs that actually deserve the support.
F95Zone has no control whatsoever over Icstor, what needs to happen is not here but with Patreon. They are the ones profiting by allowing the scam to go on. I see three possible options:
1. Nothing changes and Patreon continues to allow scammers to pretend to be developers and they both make money (most likely outcome)
2. Someone is able to get a high powered law firm interested in going after Patreon and is able to cause them enough financial harm in order to change their business model (possible but not likely)
3. Enough Patreon subscribers complain and STOP funding this idiot scammers to the point where Patreon takes notice and changes how they run things. (Slightly more possible then option #2but could happen)
That is pretty much it. Until 2 or 3 happens the only thing we can do is encourage people to stop paying so called developers that fail to provide quality updates on a very regular schedule. If you are paying any developer that is taking months and months without providing anything then you are a contributor to the problem and just making this shit continue. The best solution is to support only two types of developers, those that provide frequent quality updates and those that only require payment on a per update basis. All others avoid funding until the scammers dry up and go away.
