Damn. Time to change platforms I guess? Although I think they might need to do some changes in the content in the new one too.
Uberpie does say they "are considering SubscribeStar, but it's a monumental drop in subscribers and income." That said, it's better than Zero, right? I mean if they don't move to another platform, they get no money at all. And they could get a start at rebuilding their subscribers easily there because SubscribeStar has a bit more lenient guidelines. Hell, Uberpie could even go back to the explicit incest storyline. And yet, he's vascillating? It's odd, but that so like Uberpie that he can't make a decision...Damn. Time to change platforms I guess?

Well, it seems, patreon do want to choke on its crap. I can only wish those clowns luck with that. Oh those sweet income
There is game named Winter Memories. AFAIK, they sell it on steam with smth about 20% of the the actual gameplay without any adult hints. But there is a certain patch on their site, that converts a demo into full version. It is more work for creators, unnecessary work. But it seems, sh*tshow has just begunYou must be registered to see the links
you can read the picture from this post to understand what i am talking about its stupid tbh View attachment 3446987
Again, sooner or later, that's gonna bite them in the ass. Maybe not in the first year... maybe not in the first several years... but maybe 5 years in, after building a following on Patreon and, being one of the lucky developers to make it a living (fewer than 250 adult game developers out of the 7,000-ish make more than $4,000 per month - average is about $100 and the mean is closer to $65)... they'll get caught and then they'll need to rebuild their following.
Either a disgruntled fan will send a report to Patreon or some other way will eventually get a game reviewed/pulled. If you can't abide by the content guidelines of a platform, don't use it -- if you do, have a backup in place or just be ready to accept the consequences of your choices.
As for Uberpie, the game Patreon subscribers get is the game, there is no "friendly" version.
Sure, I was just saying that there are developers out there who are doing it this way. Atleast one who's been doing it for almost 7 years. They basically publish the game without questionable content on Patreon while handing out links to patrons leading to another website with login requirement to download the latest update. I'm honestly surprised myself that the dev in question hasn't gotten in trouble for it after so many years, so I thought maybe this could be a way out for Uberpie.They already have a counter for that i saw on twitter that a artist got banned for content that even though it wasnt posted on patreon was available on a different website so for instance:
1. I f i post something that is banned on there website somewhere else (twitter/pixiv/cloud storage websites) they will still ban you based on association( Essentially guilty by association type of situation) or they will police you to remove from those website or tell you to remove your twitter handle or any instance where you have linked your twitter on patreon
Does that statement qualify as notification that this title is "on hold"?
Whether true or not. Whether well known or not -There is game named Winter Memories. AFAIK, they sell it on steam with smth about 20% of the the actual gameplay without any adult hints.

The schadenfreude is strong in this one.Where's lostraven with his witty remark ?
The correct answer is - payment system. There are differences between patreon's and subscriber's partners. Steam is more convenient in terms of payment.Uberpie does say they "are considering SubscribeStar, but it's a monumental drop in subscribers and income." That said, it's better than Zero, right? I mean if they don't move to another platform, they get no money at all. And they could get a start at rebuilding their subscribers easily there because SubscribeStar has a bit more lenient guidelines. Hell, Uberpie could even go back to the explicit incest storyline. And yet, he's vascillating? It's odd, but that so like Uberpie that he can't make a decision...
At the same time, they also stated they are going to rework the content for Steam. I mean, yeah, Steam has slightly different guidelines than Patreon... but there's still a lot of overlap of changes to be made for Steam to accept the game on their platform.
Yup, you named it FROM YOUR HEAD. Thats not rules, thats YOU UNDERSTANDING of them. Or my. Ore someone elses. See any difference? We can disbilieve some creators claims, BUT their rules IS in fact ambiguous where they should be crystal clear with dozens of examples(coz its their income).Also, no one should believe Uberpie's excuse that he has no clue why he's being removed and based upon what decision. I've named several possibles simply off the top of my head... also, as has been seen by other posts - Patreon usually does make developers aware of the problem(s) that need addressed. He's been reviewed before about content and made changes based upon their concerns. When developers say "they don't know..." they are not being forthright. Either with their fans or themselves or both.
Not in the slightest.Does that statement qualify as notification that this title is "on hold"?
Please, don't try to blame me for situations that may or may not happen in your head. Or are you trying to change subject and blame someone else for patreon's inadequate actions?You realize you may have just put that
Again, they aren't going to get any $$$ from Steam until after they rework the game and IF it gets approved by Steam. That means ZERO income until the possibility. They could start up a Subscribestar and start getting income thereafter WHILE working on the Steam rework. I know exactly what I'm saying, they can get payment near immediately on Subscribestar and may never get anything on Steam, and even if they did - it will take many months (more likely over a year or more) before that possibility even exists on Steam.The correct answer is - payment system. There are differences between patreon's and subscriber's partners. Steam is more convenient in terms of payment.

And whats more - several days ago those clowns changed their rules again. This time its about consent. Now all those imaginary characters must consent before going further. So - yes, that patreclowns is indeed decided to shoot their dick off.
OhPlease, don't try to blame me for situations that may or may not happen in your head. Or are you trying to change subject and blame someone else for patreon's inadequate actions?
From what I see, they decide to start another cleaning crusade for some reason. Any formal reasons will be created on the run.
Yes.Am I correct that scat is avoidable on the regular route and that urination content only shows up on the NTR routes?
Because Uberpie wanted a scene that was a result of an enema or a superfan dropped a special contribution for the scene. Or...Was there ever an explanation as to WHY scat was added?
Where's lostraven with his witty remark ?
"If you say something off the top of your head, you say it without thinking about it much before you speak, especially because you do not have enough time. It was the best I could think of off the top of my head."off the top of my head is a phrase that means that the facts are easy to see and it is obvious to anyone who takes a moment to consider
Good point. I stand corrected. It was the best I could do in the middle of a back and forth conversation. Pulling what I knew from memory."If you say something off the top of your head, you say it without thinking about it much before you speak, especially because you do not have enough time. It was the best I could think of off the top of my head."
Didn't even know it was possible to butcher the definition of such an easy to understand idiom so badly.
yes, this is what I was thinking as well, a lot of people when they get banned from Patreon say they have no idea why and nobody is telling them why. Surely they would give a reason on what guidelines were broke and try and work it out so they could stay.Also, no one should believe Uberpie's excuse that he has no clue why he's being removed and based upon what decision.
