Bad day for My Dorm. Bad day for devs when Patreon uses f95 links as proof of incest

Look into friends in need on these forums, that dev has a patreon version of his game and a SS version. Slightly different name for each.

For your game to do something similar you'd only ever release the clones version on Patreon. But the SS version and here would be the toggleable one. You'd need to figure out a different name for each though.

"My Dorm" and "Game of Clones". Because if Patreon love Game of Thrones things, they'll probably be okay with Game of Clones, right?:rolleyes:

I'd love to know the actual legality of what Patreon is doing. Like obviously any actual legal battle against this would be hyper expensive, but also it could result in destroying this site it being, at least in part, a pirate site.
You can't legally be required to do business with anyone - except insurance companies - AFAIK.

I just exported the Patron list. So the ones who have an active subscription on release day will get the links by email for the next update (if the issue isn't solved by then). Since you won't be able to renew (or upgrade) your subscription until (if) the issue is solved, this will be a one time thing (unless you are on a yearly plan).

I meant more the holding someone accountable for things on a third party site that they're spying on. It'd be like Facebook etc removing peoples accounts because they have an Only Fans on which they post content that's against Facebooks terms of service. Not a perfect comparison but it kinda shows what's I'm talking about

They don't have to justify not wanting someone's business is the thing.

You might have a point but here in the good old US of A (where I believe patreon is headquartered) we don't get rights to privacy or consumer protections like that so you'd probably have to pursue it through an EU court.

I don't think the Clone version would be aproved, either, as in the email stated, any familiar bond, including Foster, etc. etc. the only thing is that MC is the Janitor, And was hired by Martha resulting in being the son of the Neighbour (not Nora) or similar.

As well as they have the finger on the trigger, they just don't aprove the clone version.
If Trope don't comply, they just ban him, and keep all the money, how they already did with some devs over here.

There may be more tweakage required for the patreon only version, rather than just family or clone, this is true.

The girls aren't adopted by Martha/Norah. The girls are adopted by three companies (a la Truman's Show, where they got the idea). Martha+Emma's scene isn't incest because they are not legally or blood related. Norah+Erika's neither for the same reasons.
Martha isn't married to Edmund. So she isn't the MC's stepmother or adoptive mother. She's Edmund's exgirlfriend. Norah is only the neighbor (who was dating, but not married MC's uncle when he died), so not incest either. Meemaw is the mother of the neighbor and Betty is the neighbor's aunt.
In the Patreon version, the MC only legal and blood family is Edmund. And there won't be sexual activity with him.
