Instead of debating Patreon's policies as if they'd go back on their decision (which they probably won't) it would be more effective to attempt to promote a SS page so the project remains viable. If not even devs got a proper reply from Patreon there's no reason to believe talking about it here will be productive, just move on to a better platform and try to spread the word enough so the project doesn't die.

The only ones at fault here are devs because at the end of the day you're at Patreon's mercy if you use their platform.
Does your game have content that goes against Patreon stupid rules? You're fucked.
Use SS, Steam and other platforms if your game is not a vanilla soap opera.
I increasingly believe even games that fall under Patreon's TOS, should at the very least have a backup of subscribestar ready.

My main issue is not the question of rules violation, clearly we violated something, but rather,
the grossly unfair treatment of how those rules are applied for some devs and not others.

Well, that's what Uberpie is telling everyone. It's the only version that's been told.
I was there from watching the page go from suspended to removed, and it all happened within about 48 hours tops.
I can safely say whatever Patreon took issue with, there was little to no chance of actually fixing any problems in such a short window regardless.

I am 99% sure Uberpie would have done whatever it took to keep the Patreon afloat - that includes conforming to whatever changes they asked.

...

I'm currently in talks with Uberpie about what comes next direction wise, I suppose they'll be an annoucement soon-ish when a decision on the direction to take has been reached.

Understood. However, you have no actual knowledge of what the letter from Patreon said or if it was the first attempt recently or the last attempt to have Uberpie get the content into compliance.

One moment while I edit and fix this cock up that posted accidentally :HideThePain:

I most definitely don't know everything.
However, I am in contact with other developers, and well... We talk.
I am fully aware of that, as well. But developers are humans and present information to others which normally put them in the best light while putting those who are in opposition to them, or a shared obstacle with the people in the conversation, gets different representation within those conversations. Unless you've seen the receipts, yourself, you're still going on hearsay.

I think you are doing yourself a disservice by continuing down this track in the thread and on this site by discussing this in public. As you can see in several posts, while I have been quite stern in regards to Uberpie's situation - I have also pushed back when people have not presented the information about Uberpie fairly as well.

I feel I've said enough at this point that I don't feel the need to continue down this rabbit hole.
I've explained the events as I saw them unfold from my POV.

Any further details would need to come from Uberpie himself so that's the last I'll say on the matter.

Well this is shit. Been checking up periodically waiting for the new Priscilla content. Legit enjoyed going through this game seeing it develop. Hated the artstyle at first now it's one of my favourites after it grew on me. Just tried making a discord to check the channel and got my account banned for whatever reason oh well.

Really hope this isn't then end of it seems like a lot of work to lose out on.

Uberpie's been nudgin' Patreon's panties with his snout for awhile, even after the initial review back in the first year of development. I mean, once you've been reviewed - you should make sure to not create any content that could even be close to violating Patreon's guidelines... or you should move to a different platform because you're gonna get caught sooner or later. Better to leave early on your own terms than to become a top 20 adult game on a platform only to have a follow up review on your content, risking over $10,000 of monthly income and having to start all over somewhere else.

Max's little snout in Tiffany and Mary's gardens pushed Patreon's boundaries on bestiality.
MC's mind control over Mary pushed against Patreon's boundaries on non-con.
Gerda's storyline with the cult pushed Patreon's boundaries on non-con.
I'm actually surprised the game wasn't pulled from Patreon when the MC raped Clara in the bathroom, initially.
Scat and drinking urine from v0.95.7 pushed Patreon's boundaries.
The MC having Clara send her son Danny a topless photo with "Fuck me Danny" written on her breasts pushed Patreon's boundaries on incest.

While any one of these might have raised a red flag - I would wager that with so many little nudges, it warranted their Safety team a look at the content.
So the Fucks at Patreons did play the game, masturbated countless times and then decided to fuk the game and the creator. :)

Patreon is known for its very inconsistent enforcement.
The fucks at patreon were masturbating to this game for years and ignoring how it broke all sorts of rules.

But something triggered them recently to shut it down.
My guess? the move to AI art made them stop masturbating to the game.
So now they are angry and decided to shut it down.

Ok so... lets see if I can think of all the instances of rape...
1. best girl gets sexually assasulted by darnel and his gang at bathroom at the start. IIRC at some versions you could let it progress to full penetrative rape instead of stopping it at the "mere" torn clothes and groping.
2. you rape clara in bathroom
3. you rape danny
4. you rape and drug that slutty drug addicted teacher. and she also rapes you
5. you THINK you mind control and rape your mom. Not realizing she is only pretending to be mind controlled.
6. you molest your sleeping mom. rape.
7. gerda cult rape
8. optionally when rescuing best girl from cult, you can let her get raped first for your gratification.
9. darnell thinks he is raping your mom with your mind control remote.

... how many rape scenes am I forgetting?

At least someone finally understood! I haven't been horny since the last update, it was just repulsive and unimaginative and the story script was just a problem!

Instead of posting an unofficial patch here that unlocks prohibited content. So they got a patronage ban.

Still makes no sense. There are dozens if not hundreds of games with that kind of encounters on patreon. From train molesting to battlefucks. And why I can still see them doing well? Maybe coz patrecucks dont give a f about? I dunno.
Still that info about crapeaters not giving time for changes and not givin any clues about what the actual problem is - is fishy at the least. No, not fishy. FISHY. They have already done ther crap years ago, why not to do this again? Make one more step into the abyss.
