I guess we'll see. A month ago he said the update with be released on the 28th. That's tomorrow. And if not, he'll actually pause the patreon donations..
Drum roll....

Drum roll....
yeah... has to be way over 15k at this point. with the waybackmachine in 2021 he made 18k with 1200 less patreons.Geeze, take a joke people. Playing jest with someone that has 3000 patreons should be allowed... He's basically a public figure at this point.
Anyway, it's also fair criticism, imo. He makes 15 grand a month (On patreon) and when questioned why he doesn't hire people to help him... he says "Because i'm not a leader"

People blindly believe someone that, for all we know, didn't have a family member die. Do any of you people actually know him in real life????
I have an actual job in a corporation and i work with people who make up all kinds of lies to get out of work for just a monday off.
And i'm shamed for questioning someone who literary has every incentive in the world to delay a release for a game while still getting payed bookoo bucks?? I think not.
Spare me your guilt trip. I don't buy it.

Weird how some people get overly defensive on behalf of some of these AVN Devs. We've all heard of BD's plights, and yeah I can take his word for it and sympathize. But when you factor in the patrons and the money involved, he deserves all the criticism for the product (or lack thereof) that he's put out to the audience. It's just the way the world worksPeople blindly believe someone that, for all we know, didn't have a family member die. Do any of you people actually know him in real life????

according to what you're shilling is your job in corporation at Subway?or Mcdonalds? or do they have too high of a standard to hire you even there?People blindly believe someone that, for all we know, didn't have a family member die. Do any of you people actually know him in real life????

believe or not it has nothing to do with the fact that you're making light of a tragic situation, be it true or not.
and just like you said , you don't have any evidence to say it didn't happen.
and like I said , I chose to believe him since he has given me no reason to not believe him.
making light and fun of a situation like that ... there must be something wrong with you here, not the society.
even blaming the society for your behaviour says more about you than the society or whatever else bullshit reason you might conjure.
you can factor money as much as you want, you can have all the money in the world , if some fucked up situation like the one described happens... it will affect you, no matter how much of a chad (or tough boyo or whatever the new word for it is) you think you are.
EDIT : the people that keep saying the money is the reason and whatever else... you do realize that money don't make you emotionally immune to everything right?I mean they enhance happiness and a feeling of comfort but that's it, if some shit does happen, (point in case) money can't do shit, except give that person a proper burial.

The shame I would say comes from you goofing about the deaths of people who are believed to be real. There are always people who defend devs they like, but more people will attack for a joke in poor taste.People blindly believe someone that, for all we know, didn't have a family member die.

also true.
EDIT : thing is he had the opportunity to say something like " yea was not my finest hour and the joke was .. a shitty one , I apologize for that, but my point is still valid , I believe this is all made up and he just wants to cash in as much as he can."
but ... he didn't .. instead he double down on it...
again.. that says more about him as a human being than .. the society being fucked up or whatever reason they are claiming.

Can enlighten us oh grand master,how the hell he is making 15K per month if the pledges are paused from months?

Uh, I won't post my bank transactions... but i've been charged for the past 7 months. So i guess it's not paused?
Exactly. These people try to guilt trip me. They might as well be trying to force me to sympathize with EA.
Someone that makes that kind of money and still refuses to hire assistance to maintain their fiduciary responsibility???
Meh. Spare me your guilt trip.

Thanks for proving his point though, by acting like an entitled child wanting his participation trophy. Gimme gimme gimme it's mine I deserve it.
No, you're not shamed for questioning someone, you're shammed for being a complete and utter dick about it. Questioning is one thing. Personally I have my doubts about the validity of some of the reasons for delays and face it there is almost always a delay. Regardless one can have doubts without being an asshole about it. Making jokes about the death of loved ones is the poster child of "being an asshole about it". So congrats, you get to be a poster child. You can consider it your trophy you want so bad.People blindly believe someone that, for all we know, didn't have a family member die. Do any of you people actually know him in real life????

Haha, you use words like fiduciary responsibility but you know what it means. I guess you just watched some law show and heard the phrase thrown out and though that sounds good and official, let me use it to add weight to my tantrum. Welp, you failed. Points for trying though, I guess.
P.S... It's spare me your guilt trip, not share.

I can definitely understand people starting to question BD about the authenticity of the events, which have seemed to grow more frequent over the years and seems to happen around times BD said a new release was going to drop. With that said, I'm also not gonna assume he's lying because that's not something you lie about, so in turn I am willing to give BD the benefit of the doubt. Personally, I think if these things keep happening, then I may start questioning his authenticity on the matter at hand.

Don't have to post your bank transactions. Just screenshot the "Patron receipt" email you get monthly from Patreon ;p It doesn't give away anything else than a Patreon invoice number.Uh, I won't post my bank transactions... but i've been charged for the past 7 months. So i guess it's not paused?

If it's a fact though. Then must be a lot of people around here that pretend to support him that isn't if they haven't noticed they keep get charged monthly.

Did Braindrop get pretty bogged down in terms of his planning? Definitely.
Would it be helpful if he had help with his work on this project? Probably.
Is it understandable that someone who does creative work has problems when other hands interfere with his work? Absolutely.
Does a part of me cry and do I develop more gray hairs when people use words from the legal and business fields in a questionable way at best? Hell yeah.
Other than that: When in doubt, give the accused the benefit of the doubt.

so, because you're a Patreon you think that gives you the right to be an asshole? it doesn't give you ANY rights.... not in how the game is made, not story wise or even how fast the updates get to be given... only you'll get it before others.
So act like a human being with compassion. instead of an asshole next time around...

What I don't understand is why people keep being a patron of someone who they do not believe in anymore. Why keep throwing money to someone who you think is milking YOU? It just baffles me. Just unsubscribe and sign up again when the update comes, if you still like the game enough

Think its funny though. You have people saying he is a good creator because he suspended his Patreon pledges. And then you have someone that say that he keep get charged for his pledge. Any actual patreons here that can verify if he actually did suspend, or not?
You are 100% correct though. If people unhappy, then pull their pledge and ressume later if things changes. Bitching and moaning about it serve no purpose. And if people isn't pledging in the first place they have even less to bitch about imho.
