Blame it on Patreon.
Trop needs to abide by their rules.
Personally, I would love to see a Kiara/Eileen scene. But it's Trope's game and so his choice to make. It is what it is. You can't please all of the people all of the time. But I think it's probably time to ease off the knee-jerk blaming of Patreon for everything in May 2025.
I have posted many a rant about Patreon and their cowardice in caving to the demands of payment processing services (letting the middle-men who contribute NOTHING run the asylum), and even worse
stabbing their existing creators in the back with the sudden radical change in their T.O.S.
after those creators helped make the platform successful in the first place. But it is only fair (and balanced?



) to point out that enough time has passed now since the Great Purge that pointing the finger at Patreon as 100% responsible for how games are
today is no longer really fair.
If a dev leaves X or Y or Z out of their games
today, I think it's fair to say that it is a
dev choice to do so because they
want to be on Patreon, not Patreon 'forcing' any dev to leave anything out. The censorship
vs. income choice is a difficult one, and one that causes every dev a
lot of angst, and it is a choice only they have the right to make and we don't have any grounds to complain about whatever choices they end up making for
their stories. But outside of shameful sneak-attacks by content platforms, it
is a choice made by
devs, not platforms.
