That much is true because Patreon started enforcing its own rules. Problem here is that it also has a rule about no bestiality and we have a bug enemy that is clearly non-sentient...which is a tragedy waiting to happen, just like rape'y animations...and just like them, it will be yet another pointless, "totally unexpected" updates to animations that could easily be done or avoided years ago.Eromancer is probably trying to avoid getting banned from the patreon sites.
That's false. You are not allowed to release it as it is but countless ero-games with rape, hypnosis, NTR and what not are released on steam. Most often it is hidden behind an external patch, which is something steam is perfectly fine with.Or he's planning on moving the final work to steam — that does not allow for rape.
I mean, Succubus game from Madmind Studios isn't exactly glamorous and it is allowed with uncensor patch...same with a lot of japanese NTR adventure games that bog the market.
Ehhh, this again...yes, from business point of view it is equal to killing the cash flow because Ero relies on sleeper patreons at this point that wake up once a year to see what's been done (or rather, what's still not being done at all).It's my understanding that they started the Subscribestar with the intention that, should a minimum amount of funding be reached, they'd switch over to SS entirely from Patreon and re-implement all the things Patreon made them remove. This is why a lot of animation work done nowadays is replacing intro sequences to make things less rapey.
The obvious answer would be for them to switch to SS entirely to just reimplement all the old stuff, but there's no guarantee everybody from the Patreon would switch (or even could switch because of payment options). It'd be fiscal suicide to kill their cash-cow like that.
I get it. However I also get people not wanting to be subbed for all the 'extra' time it takes to replace old animations when, if they switched to SS, they could be working on 'new' animations instead.
At this point, Eromancer chose the worst option possible - sitting on two stools, hoping he won't fall from both of them. As a result not only is the goal not met but he effectively keeps the status quo, making "finishing" the original game impossible (there will never be enough patreons on SS, not to meet that goal he set up).
