How fucking delusional are you people? Do you genuinely think the FTC would give ZERO fucks about a poon game on Patreon? This forum is sure getting a reputation for crying...whining...and mass reporting devs. What do you guys think this accomplishes? Honestly...

People posting on a .to pirate site that actively steals creator content....going to a crowd funding source and complaining about not being able to steal the content fast enough....wants to get a government agency involved and chase legal remedies in order to get their 2D batin' on....you guys are hilarious.
yikes
Idk why you're assuming I want these things.
Anywho I fixed it so maybe the next reader doesn't pop a vein.
Unfortunately you can't block on this website so I can only grace you with an ignore.
Cheers.

They were absolutely correct in their response to your insane ideas. You simply placing the insanity behind a spoiler doesn't change that.
There's nothing that Patreon is doing or DC is doing that is FTC-worthy.
There's nothing that either are doing that would motivate any reputable journalist, YouTuber, blogger, or similar to take up the outlandish claims you (and other) are making.
Again, it is ironic and hypocritical the amount of whining and crying done in this thread by people - the vast majority of whom come to this site to take games without paying or subscribing - about how some developers are not on the up-and-up in their dealings.
Finally, your post - as with the many others which people post on this subject - are off-topic, as been informed by other people on here, mods and staff on here, and many posts repeatedly deleted on here - for being off-topic --- and yet people can't seem to get enough of whining because they can't wank to new content as quickly as they would want on a game that is free for everyone to play directly from the developer.
Cheers.

To get back on point.
Does anybody know what happend to Patreon's numbers? DC doubled his subs to 60k (now back on #3 of all creators in Patreon) when their redesign hit, while many other creators didn't get such big jumps. Is that some kind of bug or do they count subscribers in a different way by now?

I think they are adding in Followers which are considered "Free" Patrons now. My page tripled overnight and it freaked me out for about 2 minutes.

Thanks, that certainly makes sense. I didn't even know that feature existed until you mentioned it now.

Yup, that's what Patreon is doing. I think it's in response to Subscribestar's having done similar in their numbers - to retain the perception of their lead in the subscription platform market.
We are currently rolling out Free Membership in stages through November, so these features might not be available to all creators yet.
Graphtreon is working through breaking the numbers down to their components for more "realistic" data...
Adjusting to Patreon's changes

With Patreon changing their patron count number to include all "free" members, we are working to change Graphtreon to adapt. We have the data to be able to separate free and paid members from each campaign for the past 2 months and going forward, but it is taking time to change all the things on Graphtreon.
We plan to be able to retroactively "fix" all the data that is showing on Graphtreon now. We plan to display both paid and free members separately for statistic tracking purposes.

LMAO patreons numbers must be bad if the are adding free followers just to pump numbers up.
Not really. There continues to be growth of paid members across Patreon (this graph shows up to just prior to the addition of the "free" members so as to be as consistent as possible).

This graph does not include the count of paid members and monthly subscriptions that are hidden by creators (so the actual numbers of paid members and $$$ is higher than what is shown in the graph).

---now waiting for this post to be removed for being off-topic---

Well my save is completely broken. Autosave stopped working hours ago which I didn't notice, now I'm trapped in Eve's apartment unable to enter her room or leave.

There needs to be a bitch thread where all it is is bitching about "Never Going To Finish..." ECT...
I created one - but no one goes there because they all want to whore for attention in this thread.

You can use the cheat console to change location. Click on the WIFI signal on the in-game phone and type "I UNDERSTAND" to the warning. Go to the appropriate menu and free yourself.

With every single game in development, and pretty much every single game in general, every player should at least have 3 different saves that they rotate through. That way if one save gets borked, they only have lost a little bit of progress after the other two saves.
