Don't think that's exactly true from my understanding the issue comes into play when people end up putting a link on the Patreon site leading to another site which contains material that goes against Patreon policy.

This is my understanding as well, though Stupidkiller has a fair point too. It can't be released in Discord for the reason Stupidkiller suggests because there is a direct link in WWG's Patreon to WWG's Discord.
But as OmegaZero21 suggests, as long as there is no direct link/hyperlink from the Patreon to the Subscribestar, then this technically does not fall under the ToS? I put a question mark there because I have not actually read Patreon's ToS, I am speculating. But even if it's not implicitly against Patreon's ToS to do what I'm suggesting here, it could still be in a gray area, which might cause problems later on down the line. Which is why I suggested this as a temporary solution at best.
If Patreon shuts WWG down anyway, despite changes, then it's either another platform (like Subscribestar), or WWG has to potentially make his own website people can sub to/where he can sell his products, or find another site that can host/sell the game (like the affect3dstore.com).
The simplest solution that I'm sure WWG is hoping for is that Patreon approves his changes and allows him to continue with business as usual.
If I understand correctly, IF Patreon can identify the game as the "same" game by the same Dev on a different platform, they can still lay a TOS claim on it.
My knowledge is second hand BTW (maybe third hand) as I've heard of other games getting banned because of stuff like this, that's why all these incest patches are "unofficial fan mods".

Yeah it's really brutal. I'm not trying to root against WWG's wishes but historically it seems like once an account gets flagged it is more or less a death sentence. *insert facepalm emoji* Perhaps WWG can satisfy their wishes and revise the existing game effectively enough that they stop bothering him, but the evidence tells us that's unlikely.
WWG has also mentioned plans for a new game, so it's possible that if he wants to stay on Patreon bad enough he might have to scrap PV completely and just start working on his new game so long as it is within the Patreon rules.
That can't possibly be accurate can it? I mean "Long Live the Princess" has a subscribeStar version with incest and a Patreon without it.
Depends whether someone reports it.
(But like I said, my knowledge IS NOT first hand so take it with a pinch of salt)
No offense but completely scrapping PV would be the DUMBEST idea ever. it would make more sense to take it completely off Patreon and SLOWLY work on it on a different service while working on the new game. The LAST thing you want to do is completely abandon a game as that leaves a lasting stigma.
LLTP had the incest version on patreon too. The original version of the game was incest and the uncensored version only exists because somebody reported it.

yeah I get that, and do you know if the other version has ever been reported too? Because the second hand info I heard, one that a Dev had moved his Rape/incest version of the game to another site after being reported, just like LLTP, except in his case someone reported him again for the Non-Patreon version and Patreon banned his account for the "end run".
I'm going to stop talking now because I genuinely don't know if it is true or something the rumormill pumped out.
I'd love if someone could confirm or refute this?

If I turn off the NTR I suppose there are no bad endings and I can play at my own pace right?
Play at your own pace? without NTR this is a VN just waiting on you hitting the right rooms in the right order.

Welp fine by me
. If it wasnt avoidable I wouldnt have played. Thnx for the Info I am relievedThe whole point of the game is to avoid NTR. If you hit it, it's a game over and takes you back to the choice screen so you can make the right choice and progress the story.

Yes, but imagine its going well and all of a sudden comes an NTR scene.........I might get temporary ED. JK
But hell i am enjoying the hunter scenes, they are hilarious.
And I like playing games having "Important choice matter" , with only death or gameover as punishment.
well there is at least one where you die

and one where you kill Hunter. Though both come at the end of the scene so you'd have to watch or skip through the sex scene to see it.
