I know. But you know how it works with Patreon. They don't care. I'm totally sure they don't even look into the content they ban. When enough complains came in or they found something on Discord servers, they just act. Some games were even banned because of fan made mods. I remember there was a game a few years ago where they even argued with tags from F95. Can't say which one anymore because I never played it and just read about it back then, but Patreon does Patreon things. It's a shame though. According to their TOS they had to ban the Bible and Quran because of the content and a lot of work that's considered as world literature. It's modern times and it doesn't help the world is becoming more and more prude.
Unfortunately all true enough Moni.

I wasn’t prepared for it to happen so soon. :cry:
Yeah, me neither. Let's hope Ocean will be able to work around the ban, and somehow reverse it back so we can get few more chapters. Maybe wishfull thinking but hope never dies, right?

I'd rather have it abandoned earlier into development rather than it happening halfway through the game when you're more invested, just my opinion.
That's a very reasonable opinion to be honest. Definitely agree there, that it would be less "painfull".

it just sounds a bit egoistical to me that's all, like patreon have a vendetta against him or something
They might have actually :unsure:. Maybe it's really stupid thought, but it could be cause of Ocean was participating in the GOG fight again censorship, with the free games bundle. With how the "bullshit" companies works these days, it might be connected somehow.

Probably worded it wrong. He just meant it's a ban of the creator, not because of SG specifically. I'm just curious why it took as long as it did. Not like he went out of his way to hide the fact he was making both games and both were on patreon.

What did Patreon have against WIAB!???
incest I think. You know, fucking your sister and such

doubt it, ain't big enough of a fish I'd wager for someone up the food chain to give that kind of "order"

as I said, without more context, that's how I interpreted it

Seems to be a very recent development...

Summer's Gone's Patreon page has been deleted by Patreon.
I will get in contact with my lawyers and see what can be done.

Well, this definitely wasn't on my bingo card. Ok, guys, it was a pleasure waiting with you. See you sometime in the unknown future.:HideThePain:

So... with patreon gone, can we get Sister Nami back now. Please. :whistle:

(FYI, I know it probably won't happen unfortunately, but one can hope)
Depends how strict SS is on their platform and it might not even be worth it because of credit card crap going on. Who knows, Ocean might just wash his hands of it all too after losing the Patreon paycheque since SS games generally don't do that well. Since I really don't see patreon giving the page back.

Ocean's phrasing might not be the best when he talks about Patreon since the WIAB incident.
Ocean like other Developers broke the rules of Patreon and they paid for it, I'm not a bit surpised can't break the rules of a platform you are on and think you are above those rules, you might get away with it for a while even years but eventually you will get caught like we have all seen, tough luck for Ocean.;):coffee:

It's modern times and it doesn't help the world is becoming more and more prude.
i also remember devs to whom this happened but in my opinion it's complicated situation for both creator and patreon

imagine owning platform like patreon and someone like payment processors is fucking you in ass to not allow certain types of content. otherwise they will shut you down and you will be bankrupt. what would you do? any rational business owner would go with that. so no i don't think patreon plays any role in this in terms of decision making. they are simply forced to do things they might never do if it wasn't for VISA and all this shit companies

at the same time as creator you know what you should and shouldn't do to avoid getting into trouble. but what is your responsibility for when there are million incest patches flying from one side to other? how hard is it to download them, write one email and send it with accusations to patreon? add few threatening sentences about how you will contact payment processors if patreon doesn't ban creator and you just won

people should look at Steam. company like valve is being bullied by payment processors. who would have ever thought that right? if they can get away with shit like that on steam imagine how much manipulation there must be with patreon. it's not about platform. it's same everywhere and will be same as long as you use visa etc
