The parable of the donkey and the carrot or a fairy tale about Uber and his gullible fans
Once upon a time there was a donkey (hmmm... a gullible Uber's fan). He lived by himself and did not worry about it at all. Once a donkey played an amazing game called "Taffy Tales". Well, well, well. Uber asks the donkey: Did you like the game and maybe you want to continue? And after that the donkey lost his peace. The carrot (update) looked very appetizing, bright orange with a lush lace of green tops, and the donkey eagerly hurried to the treat. But as soon as he approached Uber, he suddenly pulled his hand away and hid the carrot behind his back. "The time has not come yet. Soon you will receive the coveted reward, you just need to wait a little.", - Uber reassured the donkey.
Years have passed ...

Moral: Ok, Uber joked on the first of April. Really, somebody was seriously waiting for the release of the update this weekend??? You just don't know Uber well yet.

The whole moral of the story of the donkey/carrot was about the farmer getting work out of the donkey for free by enticing him with some kind of payment (food) in return - but never paying him.drivel redacted

If people pay, and in the end they get ears from a dead donkey, what else can they be called?I will give you credit for your creative writing. question though , so everyone that is a fan of the game is a donkey or just the people paying?
Buddy, you may be surprised, but there are still things in the world that are available to any of us absolutely for free. I absolutely don't care how much Uber gets for its work. It's just unpleasant when people are milked with the help of vain expectations. You take any attacks on the developer so warmly to your heart that the thought involuntarily creeps in: maybe you are an UberThe whole moral of the story of the donkey/carrot was about the farmer getting work out of the donkey for free by enticing him with some kind of payment (food) in return - but never paying him.
Let's see - the game is free for us to play for the work Uber and his development team put into it. He does put out updates, even if not as timely as we'd expect, but he does work. We have played without ever paying him.
And, yes, there are subscribers donate to him. If they don't like his work ethic, they can stop (something we have stated over and over again). There are some who do - but the vast majority stay on, and his subscribers continue to rise because the quality of the work the devteam performs, even when it takes longer than people wished.
It really must suck for you to have Uber live rent-free in your mind, day in and day out.
Okay fair enough all though I am not in agreement about the milking issue( we can just agree to disagree about that part) , I do agree if you are paying and "very unhappy" about the way things are going and you still choose to continue shelling out your cash then yeah donky's, morons or what ever other suckers term you want to use is "somewhat" reasonable thing to think. Does not mean though that the person doing so will feel the same way as you think they should feel( truthfully every one is a moron in some way, you are , I am and every living soul on the planet is, and the guy who says otherwise is the biggest moron of allIf people pay, and in the end they get ears from a dead donkey, what else can they be called?

This guy just has to pay you for the work of protecting him here.

Great explanation, thanks for sharing!I look at donating just like I look at any other tip given. Say I am walking down the street and I hear or see a street performer. I may like or even love what they are doing and " IF " (key word) I have money to spare I will give them a tip. I don't see this as a transaction where I expect to receive something more like I just appreciate what I have received. In essence there is no formal or informal contract between me and the performer.
Essentially this IS what Patreon mostly is ( the exception is when the item on Patreon is behind a paywall to get it, does not apply to any Dev that gives a free to play version ). You are tipping because you like it and have no obligation to continue or do it in the first place.
Of course if no one contributes the street performer/patreon devs will likely not be able to continue performing but there was never any agreement from either party that the performer would be able to make a living doing such, nor is there or should be any expectation from the audience/supporters that the performer will continue to be there day after day or what ever the time line is.
Great explanation, thanks for sharing!
Buddy, I'll share exclusive info with you. This is a leak from the dev's own discord. In the very near future, such adult content will be not only for dogs and horses, but also for Donkeys. Infa 100%!i know it's patreon but i really badly want horse and dog content fucking hell they're been on the game banner art since the start and still none
I think patreon disallow beastiality, so... no dogy with a horse dindong!i know it's patreon but i really badly want horse and dog content fucking hell they're been on the game banner art since the start and still none
All I’m understanding from this is we’ll just have another year of complaints about the MC getting cucked, this time by the horseBuddy, I'll share exclusive info with you.

Content-adding-patches have been used by plenty of devs to circumvent Shitreon's censorship in such regards last I remember, so don't count it out yet.I think patreon disallow beastiality, so... no dogy with a horse dindong!
Well there you go no update today....
Because many people love this game but hate waitingFrom the April 1st Patreon post, they said it will be out this week not last week.
So why people are still complaining.
True but by doing so the devs are putting them selves under a "Sword of Damocles" situation; never certain if their accounts are to be taken down by said "poptreon's" censorship without any warning at that!.Content-adding-patches have been used by plenty of devs to circumvent Shitreon's censorship in such regards last I remember, so don't count it out yet.
