so they stand over someone's shoulder and tell them what buttons to press and pay them minimum wage.
or maybe they just sell the rights to continue production to someone else and the development changes hands.

this pandering soap box dogshit is extra hilarious with your LiL sig
anyway, what was this guy arrested for exactly? watching illegal moving images?

Oh... it wasnt only about images... the more you read, the worse it gets.
sentences on coercion are actually pretty short in the uk
and sentences on molestation are a lot shorter than rape.
so it really depends what the convictions are.
from the independent article it seems to suggest the two most serious counts he pleaded guilty to are for
" attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity "
thats more in the coercion category.
but 50 total guilty pleas, and 10000+ illegal images... thats pretty serious.
a quick google search suggests:
" possession of an indecent image of a child is a maximum of five years. While possession of a prohibited image of a child is a maximum of three years. However, offenders convicted of making or distributing child pornography can face up to 10 years in prison "
and also
" The average custodial sentence for sexual offences in the UK is between 5 and 10 years "
so id expect the same probably.
having a sentence of 10 years will generally put them on parole after 5. (provided he survives)
the coercion is more serious than the possession of pornography, but "attempted" is not as highly prosecuted as actual molestation. so it may be more like a 7 year sentence and parole at 3. hard to say.
I can definitely understand why people want harsher sentences for these crimes. reading just the summary of guilty pleas on that article enrages me. the callousness toward the act that is reported in those blackmailing accusations amplify the rage significantly. its clear that it wasnt the case of some regretful sick person, but an intentional act of hostility from a place of narcissistic entitlement. the whole fake agency scheme with fake personalities as employees and whatnot is really solid evidence that this person was working with an otherwise reasonably functional brain, choosing evil. I hope they can bring to light everything they did and dont miss any victims.
as to whether or not they will be allowed to continue work on a technically legal but related product after release (or limitations on parole) I cant really find anything in particular precedent. in other fields like computer security there is some precedent for preventing released convicts from future access but that goes back to my previous post, basically there are usually work arounds / loopholes like hiring someone to be the "new dev" and just dictating the process.
tldr: obviously shitty person deserves BIG punishment and probably wont be sufficiently. impossible to say where the future of this project is long term, but certainly dead for the next few years at minimum id say, even if it does change hands at some point.
and its particularly relevant how this impacts this industry which often argues from a place of morality that these products are meant to curb real harm in the real world.
it seems to have stopped short of physical molestation or rape (as far as is known), but thats little consolation

i'm confused. it says he was arrested in 2021, although this article was just posted. was he out on bail and still updating the game or something?

Holy shit, was just about to try the game out but wow. Did any of this make it into the game? Has he been using his own crimes for inspiration?

Chinaka's sister does have a internet guy stalking her at some point..
But.. who knows man, who knows...
Yeah, a lot of court systems are slow because paper work and lack of man power so a lot of the time, bail or house arrest is what happens instead of 2 years in jail.

Looks like Patreon finally found out about the dev, as his page has been taken down and Patreon just refunded me for September.
How does that even work though? does someone from Patreon check the news articles after he gets reported enough times or?

A couple of thoughts on that. I imagine that Patreon monitors for creators that lose subscribers en masse and investigate why. It could even be an automated suspension after a certain threshold. He lost like 80% of his subscribers in a week or two and that's gotta raise some flags with Patreon. Even for a relatively small account. I don't know if many people reported the page, but I know that when I unsubscribed I said the reason was because of Personas' crimes and that I couldn't continue to support someone like that. Patreon may have gone looking for information after seeing several messages like mine, or they could have just decided if enough people unsubscribe for the same reason that the accusation is probably legit.

See, I cancelled a couple of days before all that started circulating, so the only thing I could cite was that he had gone completely silent and wasn't even talking on the Discord anymore, so I was shocked to get a refund nearly a month later.

The bit with Chinaka's sister having an internet stalker doesn't really play out like he used real world experience. Or at least not ringing any bells to me. Is making think more of Uta from Lessons in Love if anything. Some sketchy stuff but really comes down to if you look at anything hard enough, going to find as bad stuff as you want. Very highly doubt any 'artist' if you want to be very generous with that word, is going to write something fked up without fked up inspiration. Whether personal experience or not.
I guess I am just going to look back at it as a game I enjoyed made by a piece of shit who did god awful things. Not going to start hating it in my head because creator was a piece of shit. I think people that never played it that had interest in it should still go for it. Unless it comes out that characters were specifically built after victims, fk it.
