It's a high probability that Patreon knows about F95 already. It's not exactly some anonymous site that requires actual effort to find.
Hell, just do a search for F95zone and look at the results you get. These forums are publicly known enough that only the most closeted shut-in retard would think Patreon doesn't know about this site.
In the event that they somehow don't, Zorlun would be forced into the position of telling Patreon that it's not his work, that it's been done by a third-party and direct them here along with the username of the individual making it - ouch2020, who they cannot force into stopping making the modified file since they don't own the project, and neither can Zorlun since the only viable recourse would require paying legal fees, leaving only two options for Patreon.
1 - Do nothing, since Zorlun is complying with what they requested of him already.
2 - Be monumentally petty and threaten to close down the Patreon account over something they, Zorlun, or even Tom Rothamel has any control over.
Addition to your reply, for
TheLecher .
Prometheus and I do not use Zorlun's identity, so, even if the person reported to Patreon either file, they would only see that Prometheus made a patch with content they don't like, and that ouch2020 has made a patch with content they don't like.
Zorlun releases the source code to his game with the game (and in general, it possible to recover it even from rpa files), so, as you (Snugglepuff) indicated, there is nothing Zorlun can legally do to stop us - till now at least, I do not even remember an indication of "copyright" on his game, plus, I am releasing the patch for free (I don't have any Patreon, Subscribestar, buymeacoffe, etc. account as creator), so it cannot be claimed that I am making money out of his work.
And I am not even distributing a modified version of Zorlun game, or even the base game plus my patch, I am only diffusing the incest patch, period, all the while recognising that Zorlun is the author of the original game.
And I am not based in USA (nor is Zorlun), good luck with all of the above.
The part about closing his account even if he was distributing his own incest or othe stuff addition to the game (but I don't remember anymore if it was only the incest, or also the bestiality, that triggered Patreon), was a threat made by Patreon to Zorlun and that Zorlun referred to us.
Can Patron tomorrow morning decide in their wisdom to close down Zolrun's account without giving a reason ? Maybe yes, maybe not, I admit I have not checked recently their conditions.
If they are actually supposed to provide a reason, there you go - if Prometheus is doing bestiality, I do the incest patch, and the things was that Zorlun was not allowed to create and distribute his own incest/bestiality part of the game, even if done through other sites, well, Patreon cannot provide a good reason, because Zorlun is not creating
and distributing
his own incest and/or bestiality content.
Though honestly, it seems to me that we are ending up again debating for the nth time why according to some people Zorlun should just go ahead and disregard what Patreon told him (with variants from "crusade against Patreon" to "anyway, if it had to happen, would have happened already", etc.).
Forgetting that maybe nothing will happen, but if it happens, it is Zorlun that will primarily feel the (financial) heat, not us.
So, let's just stop debating about the sex of angels, respect his choice, and just enjoy the game and enjoy Myriam (yep, I mean it in the naughty way
;-D)
