DarkAudit Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 Patreon payment processors are a bunch of prudes, it seems: https://thenextweb.com/tech/2019/06/27/patreon-continues-to-crack-down-on-nsfw-content-creators/

On the other hand, if someone is doing mainstream stuff, why do they need something as cheesy patron?
darkconsole Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 i'll probably be looking at subscribestar.adult at some point. im lazy tho, so like, when im forced.

MadMansGun Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 nuke deployed, Sargon and Lauren Southern are in.
TentacleBandit Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Last time I checked all the Sims 4 creators sites are still up including wickedwhims on patreon. So until we see him targeted and considering the amount of money he earns patreon...i doubt that will be anytime soon.

The article just passed through my twitter feed a couple of days ago. The original thread was more about fanfic content than game mods, so... *shrug*.

As it was mentioned, this happened a year ago, and I had to adapt with assistance from Patreon staff, so they wouldn't have to end up banning me. And as DarkAudit said, this is about payment processors being problematic, Patreon in fact helped creators stay on the platform. From my experience, most of the mishaps with Patreon come from their poor choice in legal expertise that ends up failing for the type of a business they are.

The lawsuit they lost happened a week ago. They're going to get bodied like fuck in about a month. You'd better have a contingency plan.
Froggy Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Considering that Patreon is basically a system to pay developers to not work on games - because the real money lays in stretching development out to infinity - I say "good riddance" to them. It has nothing but cripple porn game development from the get-go. Someone else will rise to take their place... someone who doesn't give a shit what people make and, if we're lucky, doesn't reward deliberate stalling.
SlickWillyLongstroke Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Look into SubscribeStar. Much more supportive of free expression & with Patreon potentially getting destroyed soon due to some bad practices on their end, it's a good an alternative as any.
Ernest Lemmingway Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Looks like companies learned nothing from Tumblr and are actively trying to outdo it in terms of sheer stupidity. To clarify, nothing is set in stone yet. There's always a chance--however slim--some white knight will swoop in and save Patreon financially. It's made even slimmer by the fact that if content creators undergo the mass exodus that's expected, they still lose no matter what. Meanwhile those who stay are putting their livelihoods at serious risk because if Patreon goes belly up, there's an excellent chance the money content creators earned from supporters will disappear as well. It's happened before as Tim Pool mentioned in the video above. But if 2020 has shown us anything, it's that the unexpected can happen and quite suddenly. Or the courts could rule in Patreon's favor and even reverse the arbitration fees. Assuming Patreon doesn't go bankrupt before then. Right now things are so chaotic I wouldn't be surprised if things did turn out that way.
winny257 Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 as far as I'm concerned, Patreon can disappear! 6 days ago. Patreon loses lawsuit that costs the company millions. Sorry German. https://de.oneangrygamer.net/2020/08/patreon-loses-lawsuit-costing-the-company-millions/114028/
Ernest Lemmingway Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 The very last artist I supported on Patreon just moved to SubscribeStar and I went with them. So now I'm supporting no one there and waiting for them to delete my account. Thirty days to delete your account! They give you some cock and bull story about an outside service needing to do it, but I think they're trying to delay things. Can't have the truth scaring away other content creators and investors alike, can we?
Umbra Nensei Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 It will definitely hurt them in the long run, but I don't think as significantly as people seem to believe. Patreon has more than enough highly successful SFW creators to sustain the platform. And to an extent, I have to agree with Froggy's statement up there. Quote Considering that Patreon is basically a system to pay developers to not work on games - because the real money lays in stretching development out to infinity - I say "good riddance" to them. Still, we have to be fair when pointing fingers at developers this way. Some of the teams are ridiculously small, often consisting from just one person. I don't think everyone understands the amount of time and effort people have to put into those games to make an update of any value. If their updates are consistent, and there's clear progress in development, I'm all for it.

It's also too soon to tell Patreon's fate. Courts move agonizingly slowly when it comes to civil cases.

Ernest Lemmingway Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Just got the confirmation that my Patreon account was deleted. I've also just finished following everyone I was on your platform on Pixiv and SubStar, including @AnubiSs2167 and @Billyy. Goodbye, hypocritical bastards at Patreon! You got woke, now you get to go broke! Or worse, you can linger in ignominy like Tumblr.
