And I'm not. Like deem said - I don't wish anything bad to any dev, but it's obvious that we have hypocrisy at its best: BB, DMD and othetr big earners can post and write whatever they want - not even paywalled - and the rest... Well, we already saw.Well i'm still shocked how big brother page isn't suspended.
I'm pretty sure of who it was. Especially since everything in the guideline is what they broke/bent around. They're also probsbly the highest moneymaker on Patreon. Seeing as I might break current ToS/ToU here, I can pm later who it was and their videos for those interested in knowing.Pardon my lacking English.
I just finished reading the new post on Patreon and I began to wonder what actually caused these 'censoring' in the first place.
I really couldn't find the consistency in Patreon's censoring since some games mentioned in the post were way more 'obvious' when it comes to depicting incest or underage.
The only logical conclusion which I could come up with, was that someone who informed Patreon regarding incest or underage matters in the first place could have specifically mentioned some game titles, and TP could have been in that list.
Maybe it was like what Dasati mentioned above. Some agent was more 'easy' when some agent was by the book type of person.
However that case doesn't really seem probable to me because those difference in censoring only causes users(devs and people who make donations) to see that the both regulation and the practice of it is very vague which ultimately causes distrust of standards of Patreon site.
I'm not saying I want such thing to happen, but I actually could have understood the Patreon's actions if they blocked all dev's page which includes incest or underage factors. This could have shown that they actually have a solid standard/regulation and they are adamant in practicing it. But since they have shown inconsistency in doing so, I really can't see what this is all about.
ahh turn there own rule against them good ideaOh I've completely scrubbed my page on any questionable content. You wouldn't even realize it was an adult game it it weren't under that category. I'm just saying it will be a problem if they start looking at actual content instead of just home pages.
As far as I'm aware there aren't really any viable alternatives for projects in development. Publishing is one thing but need that monthly income to live off of.You should find another site to publish through that supports you as a developer and the content you’re creating. Patreon is really setting a precedent here to later swoop in and hold your funds. They’ll take your money as the intermediary and point to broken rules. I found your game through this site which pops up high in search results when searching for content by name or type.
They don't want you linking forbidden content via Patreon, but how are they on linking to Patreon from forbidden content? I mean, you already have a link to Patreon in the game. If you stopped distributing via Patreon, but kept your page, would they be OK with you getting donations for providing apparently no service? Or maybe you could publish like one picture a month or something.As far as I'm aware there aren't really any viable alternatives for projects in development.
