Someone said it was about the amount of fluids on Kathryn's face. Unconfirmed because who would make such rules. Even Patreon.

Certainly I did not mean to attack the game or the developer(s) in anyway, I'm here because I loved The East Block. Communication is always appreciated, and at the end of the day we are bound by limitations legal or policy-wise. I just hope nothing beautiful gets lost in the process. Cheers

Lol, that's exactly the other way around. See youtube / twitch, the rest of the world has to follow the puritanistic positions of conservative american groups, because free speech is protecting the individual from the state, it doesn't limit what a company is allowed to censor (or demonetize / suppress in their algorithm)) on their own platform (what is limited is discrimination against specific groups and so on, but that's not because of free speech). If you're not happy with the limit of the platform, you don't have to post your content on it, there are alternatives, so your free speech isn't violated.
Most of the restriction on patreon are most likely due to lobbying from american interest groups (or even more stupid, Patreon being afraid to anger them and preemptively being more strict), and Patreon caves in order to not lose access to the US.
Fellas, the official release for loyalty tier comes out tomorrow or Wednesday according to dev's patreon - an actual firm release window. That gives us a week-ish for the leak to end up here, so early May optimistically.

Hey guys, I wasn't going to post again until the initial release, but I've been seeing a lot of you commenting on my last post about when it's going to be released. I'm very close. I'm expecting late tomorrow or Wednesday to release the first version to loyalty members for testing.
I know you're all waiting patiently and I appreciate that. And to all my Canadian patrons, get out and vote today if you can!

I was actually responding to someone's post about this and stated that I don't believe this will affect the VN game much at all. I don't have any issues with Patreon about their policies except when they screw up as with any company lol. But overall, I agree with some of your views on this but not all. Also, adult sites, which are companies behind adult businesses, are required in some U.S. states to have the user verify their age to make sure they are adults, which is a bit overkill, but I understand the concerns on both sides. I can't speak on things I am not 100% sure about either. I don't believe sites / companies like Patreon or others will be foolish enough to disrupt creators / devs and their works in any major way that can prompt some major legal challenges, and like I mentioned before - I don't believe it will affect The East Block or other VN creators either that use Patreon as it stands now and moving forward. Nothing has really changed.
On a bright note, I'm totally looking forward to The East Block - Chapter 7 - though, which is expected to be released soon! - Cheers!
