The sudden Patreon policy change is fucked...
Viewing post in Tales From The Unending Void comments
nothing sudden about Patreons policies at all, it is in fact not a policy change at all for Patreon.. they just finally caught up and started enforcing thier policies. different story for itch.io though, this absolutely is a new policy for them.
some of us have been trying to warn you for years, and many of us withdrew our support for patreon long ago for this very reason..
you know all those posts on this website where ppl say stuff like "do you have another way of purchasing the game, cos i wont use patreon", or how almost every other developer now has a subscribestar account (they dont have the power to resist these changes) as an attempt at a solution?
being ignorant and calling others paranoid conspiracy theorists makes you #PartOfTheProblem ..
of course it doesnt help that itch.io are a bunch of cowards who didn't stand up to the leftwing extremists who run patreon, stripe and paypal at all. they'll happily take yr money for years, but wont lift a finger to help when its crunch time.
eventually the same will happen to steam, cos no one acted when we had time to act. ya'll happily trotted over to patreon and kept handing over money
Patreon is actually a publisher who pretends to not be a publisher because they fund creators with other people's money instead of their own but still impose their own will to creators nevertheless which make them the most hypocritical publisher ever and the creators who genuinely believe they are "independent" because "Patreon is not a publisher" and put up with Patreon's tyranny are the dumbest enslaved creators ever, at least creators who work for official publishers are aware that they are their slaves whereas Patreon's creators are blissfully ignorant of their slaves condition, I never respected Patreon nor any of their slaves creators dumb enough to work for them while believing they are "independent".
But I seriously doubt your claim that occidental companies are run by communists as they are actually capitalists and communism was invented specifically to fight against capitalism, you are therefore mixing up the actual enemy and its own enemy.
And Steam has already always been tyrannical with adult games, why do you think their forums are full of links for uncensoring patches to restore the original versions that Steam destroyed with censorship? As far as I know, even though GOG has taken way longer to finally welcome adult games into their store, they have been far more open-minded because I never heard of GOG censuring anything as opposite to Patreon and Steam who really want to hypocritically pretend to be "pure".
your entire argument is based on the strawman fallacy. a corporation (which is what you are actually talking about, not 'companies' #WordsHaveMeanings) is nota capitalist. nothing about incorporated entities is capitalist in nature. for starters, capitalist all have one very important thing in common - they will eventually die of old age no matter how rich they get. capitalists are mortal individuals whose first interests are always themselves and are held responsible for their decisions and can be jailed if corrupt.. corporations are immortal oligarchs whose first interests is an anonymous crowd who are immune to their outcomes of their morally-extraneous shareholder demands. and the very basis of publicly trader corporations is communistic by default - owned "by the shareholder people", its interests are "for the shareholder people", each getting an equal share of the dividends.. corporations are literally borderless communist nations in unto themselves.
meanwhile, i fully agree that patreon, and ANY website that decides what is or is not allowed to remain published, is a publisher
Sigh, I'm sure you think you are clever/smart/slick/whatever because you use, abuse and cram as many uncommon words as you can into your arguments which make you feel like an elite among common people however your overuse of uselessly complicated and off-topic words to actually tell empty tales do not impress me in the slightest just like empty boxes wrapped in overly complicated fashions do not impress me if they are empty, I don't even feel like answering to your empty words because all that you manage to actually do is to demonstrate that you are so empty that you rely on overuse of wrappings to pretend you are full and I am in disbelief that you actually expected me to take you seriously, you are even making me yawn, period.
Hahahahaha, you resorting to low insults demonstrates even more your desperation because you don't know how to actually answer which really amuses me when you call me "intellectual weakling" even though I have easily destroyed your cards-house of intellectual emptiness, projecting much? 😏
How about you take a new appointment with your therapist since that concerns you so much that you project your need on me?
I addressed zero of your points because you made zero point, all that you actually did was to cram as many uncommon words as you could to actually tell nothing as I stated. 😏
