Trop: (incase the DM didn't make it - stupid error)
I believe that our mutual Friend has some blind spots - that make him seem like a block of cement or possibly an AI. It's mostly a language barrier I believe. I would like to express my thanks for your transparency and clear info: I totally understand what you are saying. The main AW&M thread is a very "special" environment, which does not lend itself to many folks showing understanding & comprehension. All too frequently it's a toxic place - I rarely comment there beyond a few snide (hopefully humorous) remarks or just reactions. Your contribution was correct and complete and therefore thoroughly misunderstood.
I'll reproduce here the DM answer
I saw it. It's the first time I visited that thread and it was because I was tagged. I tried to give him a first-hand explanation about a creator's experience with Patreon (including fees) and he didn't understand it.
Perhaps, as you say, it's a language barrier with neither of us being native English speakers.
I wasn't attacking anyone, least of all him or L&P, but he took offense, so I left the discussion because I already said what I wanted. I don't want to hijack another dev's thread and I usually don't post if not tagged.
I'm too well used to My Dorm's thread and its good vibes to show on threads of games I don't play just for the sake of it.
Thanks, nonetheless for your message.
