I agree Uber should just read the rules and stop pushing his luck (luck he does not have btw)

What do you think about the characters' ages and their appearance? What about the level of violence, and so on? How do you feel about the characters' consent when it comes to sex?
Let me say it again - there are no rules and there never have been. Steam doesn’t question these projects. It’s convenient for us to ignore this fact so we can feel more comfortable, but Steam does whatever it wants.
Don’t trust the bitter idiots who try to twist reality and explain why it’s fine for these projects but not for someone like Uber. Check for yourself.
Good morning. And just like Justice Brandeis once said "Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants."
All your numbers are wrong, except for the screenshot.
Now, there are two ways to look at the data:You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
If Uberpie's average $$$ per sub per month on Patreon was similiar to the average Adult Game Developer on Patreon who publicly published their $$$ and counts.
OR
If Uberie's subscriber counts across Patreon tiers were similar to what they are across his Subscriberstar tiers.
If Uberpie Patreon Average =
Adult Game Dev Patreon AverageIf Uberpie Patreon Tier Subs %=
Uberpie Subscribestar Subs %
The first table shows I would be correct in my estimation that I have made about being as much as or more than.
The second table more supports your position (even when we take away your errors and mistatements about how Subscribestar charges developers on the adult domain).
The truth is most likely somewhere in the middle:
It shows that Uberpie is not hurting.
- Uberpie's Patreon was about $35,000, on average, in each of his final 6 months on that site
- Uberpie's Subscribestar is $31,363 as of today for the month of January 2025 (with six days remaining to get more subscribers to add to that for the month).
- And their fees are quite similar.
And bully for him for making bank on both Patreon and then Subscribestar after he was kicked of Patreon. I want developers to succeed - yes, Uberpie, too. But let's not make it sound like he's eating hand to mouth as you've made it seem to bein your rebuttals.
Thank you.
Doesn't matter if they are applied consistently - simply don't put content in your game that would violate the rules and you'll be fine. Just like how people charged for simple possession of illicit drugs aren't always consistent - but the simple fact is if you don't do illicit drugs, you aren't going to get charged. Or better yet, seeing a sign on the door of a store that says "no shirt, no shoes, no service" - people might get served while not wearing a shirt or shoes, but many won't get served. The best way to get served? Always wear shirts and shoes when entering that store.
His supporters have lost NOTHING. The Season 1 Redux is still going to be released - they are still going to get it for the subscriptions they put in, just like they would have for the Steam release. In fact, more should get it now - because originally free Steam keys were to go out to people whose total subscriptions on Subscribestar were equal to or greater than the price on Steam. However, their tiers are very explicit on Subscribestar -

Rare Pies and above are promised in the tier benefits to get access to any game releases. And we all know Uberpie was going to charge more than $7 for the Steam price.
Oh, and instead of believing Graphtreon or subscriber counts... this same moderator once said Uber lost a build and had to start over from scratch. Later, he apologized for that. He’s a good guy, but he gets a little creative. You’re ignoring my entire argument about subscriber numbers being more than double and all that.
Fine, let’s bet your honor on this -you will write to Subscribestar and ask if they take their commission from subscribers or from the donations to the user. I can even write Uber if you want, but you still won’t believe me, will you?
So, if a user donates $10, how much gets taken in fees, and how much actually goes to the developer? You’re wasting a lot of your precious time, which I’m trying to save for you.
So, do we have a bet based on your honor? If I’m wrong, I’ll also publicly apologize here for slandering and whatever else.
Once again, loud and clear - my position: Uber is currently making around near $17-19K per month. And then commissions, taxes, and so on get deducted from that. When a user donates $10 to Uber, somewhere between 10–30% gets taken off as fees, including something like VAT.
Deal?
P.S.I still think you’re a good guy doing a lot of great work. I just don’t understand why you’re blowing this up. But honestly, how else can we settle this once and for all?
Update: SS does not allow to screenshot your conversations in any form. But you can still ask them yourself.
