Maybe. I do not know much about Subscribestar. Are They as Bad as Patreon with their 'Morality Policing' B.S.??
My point IS, IF Patreon CONTINUES to Interfere in DEV's Creating Games and Updated versions, There WILL NO LONGER BE Anyone "Subbing" To DEV's Pages Because Patreon INSISTS on RUINING the Game(s).
Nah, they're not as bad. You have to look at the big picture to understand what's going on. It's not Patreon that's actually setting the policies, it's the payment platforms. Paypal, in this case. Paypal doesn't want any questionable content, and puts the pressure on Patreon, which means Patreon puts pressure on devs. It's the same thing that's happening now with OnlyFans (although that seems to have been resolved).
The thing about Subscribestar, is that they're not using those payment platforms, so there's no one to put the squeeze on them. In turn with their lax policies, PE is free to do what they wish with their game without the looming threat of the site or payment platforms Thanos-snapping the game from existence.
The solution of swapping is an easy one in concept, but when you've been established, it's like trying to uproot a fully grown tree and plant it somewhere else. There's a lot of roots and shit that make the task not as easy as you'd think.
It's not like the devs want to mess around with their game and audience like this, but it's something that has to be done, at least for the interim.
Really it's down to the support of everyone to get things back to normal. If it's a game you liked before the change and felt strongly about, there's obvious ways you can help (if you have the means). I know supporting something that's changed for the worse is a bit of a shitty deal, but it's more about the end-goal rather than the journey in this sense. If the devs were quick to change and start dancing to Patreon's tune, they'd be just as quick changing step and dancing to their own once they meet their goals.
I think that putting their Patreon links front and center aren't doing them any favors though. I'd remove all mention of Patreon and only link their Subscribestar. That way newcomers who want to donate have only one place to go instead of giving Patreon the time of day.
