No im not "Getting of my high horse" they could have just moved to subscribestar without all this crap
They did. Things aren't as simple as you think things are.
"Moving to subscribestar" isn't a one and done process that allieviates all their problems, and it's not like that's some novel idea that they had never thought about.
They had a page well before the Patreon debacle even started. Only thing is that they had to wait for their page to be approved, which is at the whimsy of whenever the admins of the site get around to it. You can have a page for as long as you want, but until it's approved by the site admins, you can't post or get any donations on it.
The Patreon censorship shenanigans happened during that time when the page was in the process of being approved. Essentially, their hands were tied and they had to play-ball with Patreon until the SS page got approved. Mind you, there was no guarantee that it WOULD be approved. So it's better to pick your battles and play things close to the chest rather than saying "FUCK YOOOOUUU I'M NOT BEING CENSORED YOU BIG MEANIES." and losing ALL your funding and contact with your supporters (because not all of their Patreon supporters are constantly checking their discord and other platforms for updates and info).
Making a statement about censorship on such a platform and being shot down for it doesn't make you a martyr, it makes you an idiot. It won't change their mind, and it's not worth the financial risk to make a damning statement that largely won't make a difference. It's not technically Patreon's policies, it's Paypal's. Patreon's a middle-man that has to play nice with Paypal's policies just like the devs of this game had to play nice with Patreon's policies.
That's how the world works. You can always jump ship and move elsewhere, but unless you want to leave everything behind, you have to take some time to pack everything up before you skip town.
As I said before. Their SS page is up, they're looking for subscribers, there's a specific point where once they reach it they'll cut ties with Patreon. It's not even a fraction of the amount they currently have on Patreon either, so odds are they're quite close as it is.
