Yes see my comment above. it appears Ocean was going for giving the sense to the reader that they are related without actually being related to avoid the Patreon rules based on some things in the game that have been pointed out but perhaps Ocean doesn't like to talk about it when asked in discord? Dunno why.
Because if a complaint is made to Patreon about content in breach of their ToS, statements by the devs on other platforms like discord, SubscribeStar, even f95 could be used as evidence.
Ok, I find it a bit hard to believe that companies like Patreon are investigating better/more throughly than german offices - else there would be no one able to cheat on taxes - but, I take your word for it. Talking about priorities in western countries...
Oh, they do on occasion. That's why some games have had ti undergo sudden plot changes years into development. Fetish Locator was the most recent that comes to mind.
Same here, I mostly skip through them, just glance at the text.
I also saw that yesterday, the spicy part of the post was not the thing about the sis but the part that points to the ToS from patreon.
Yes, Patreon is likely to use evidence like F95 or dicord. I, for myself have reported some creators on patreon for stuff that was here published - pretty sick shit, with kids(!) who clearly weren't even close to the age that could be called pupertary.

The depicted characterswere officially all 18+ (talking about refuse to see the the obvious...) but there was a "build in" possibility to play the game "as intended". The patreon was removed shortly after that and here too.
If you report someone on patreon you have to click through a couple of questions and put afterwards a evidence in:

From this point of view I can fully understand that a dev, with his income depends on patreon, is extremely carefull about confirming things that can ruin your life.
I know exactly what you mean and how you feel about this, but this was not my point. I wanted just to point out how dangerous - for exact this reasons - it can be to do as you like when your fate depends one on certain thing. This complete "snitching/chancel culture" and the connected supression of unlikely opinions dosen't make it easier to be free minded.
Patreon doesn't really have to "investigate" anything, all that has to happen is that someone reports the person. They just sit back and wait for someone to make a complaint, look at it, and make a decision. Because credit card companies are cracking down on those types of things, Patreon has to so that they can continue to accept credit cards.
Holy shit! That's the same thing I've already did!
Saw you at 99, here's a like and congrats on 100, haha
Sucks ass to have to relay on such shitty business "partners". If I had ANY artistic talent, THAT would really turn me off.
Yeah, I'm working on a game and I'm trying to decide if I'll go for Patreon (It will fit their ToS I'm pretty sure) or do SubscribeStar since they don't (yet) have the draconian policies that Patreon does. Even though my game should fit their ToS, I'm kind of inclined not to use them so they don't get the money.
That statement does seem to be a bit "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" though.
what are you talking about, there was a post on patreon 3 days ago?
