If pointing out what sleazy game devs do to endlessly string marks along for thousands a month could help me sleep, i'd be the gods damned sandman.

Between Fallen Doll, Pure Onyx, and Monster Girl Island (just to name a few), I should be the paragon of sleep by now.
what do you expect me to do? I'm not your mother to buy you the toys you want.

Wow... 5 years and this is still the same.
Honestly, there are better projects than this with a little less than 2 or even 3 years of development (And yes, with better animations).

The good thing about coming back here is that I see that many people have opened their eyes :)

This thread has 232 pages filled with posts with a lot of valuable info, and I don't want to repeat myself, but here are a few highlights:

- The way he lied about MatM development and how he abandoned it
- The way he still pretends MatM is not abandoned, just "frozen" after 5 years.
- The way he developed (2D) Pure Onyx for a year and then abandoned it.
- The way he lied about Patreon's censorship for almost 2 years and then feigned surprise as if he didn't know what was going on.
- The way he said that Patreon's censorship wouldn't affect the game's output and then slowed down the game's output "because he needed to re-do the censored animations"
- The way he only opened a Subscribestar account after many supporters threaten to leave, and then set an unrealistic goal on it so he can continue milking both Patreon and Subscribestar (and the occasional sale on itch.io) while delivering half the amount of content that before.
- The way he announced XXXIV and then abandoned it in just a couple months
- The way he reuses "WIP content" for years over and over and over again (because he knows his supporters have the attention span and memory of a blue fish)

...and many, many, MANY, more.
to be fair, the substar is mostly because Patreon putting animation restrictions in like no rape, but the rest of it is fair. Don't think he lied about Patreon censorship, they just occasionally check in and decide to clamp down on people

If you go back a couple pages, you can read all the evidence I presented that proves he knew about the censorship and didn't do anything for over 2 years.
He's not responsible for Patreon's ToS, but he's responsible for procastinating and burying his head in the sand while keeping the information hidden from his supporters.

If you don't like the author's approach to creating the game. Why are you all still here?

Also most of us used to pledge to Ero because most of us used to like what he was doing.

Criticisms are just as valid as compliments. F95 criticisms of games have been a great way for me to see if I should actually support a dev or not. Those "This dev has cancelled projects before" comments or the "They constantly miss release dates" or the "Things that were promised to be in-game aren't planned anymore" comments. People come here expecting a certain thing, or to learn more about a game, and if the dev doesn't do those things, then the people praising the game certainly won't be the ones to point that out.

TLDR: Buyer Beware, but who tells the Buyer to Beware if people who criticize the game aren't here?

Yup. I was subbed back in the MatM days. Dropped once I realized that project wasn't coming back after a few months.

I use F95 to figure this stuff out as well, I've had 0 trusts for most creators since Divine Arms. Or games I like having to drastically change their content style due to Patreon.

My thoughts exactly, they hide their whining as "valid criticism" to better cope with it.
