Don't you just love it when an author whose work has only a prologue makes patreon for it before even chapter one is out

Oh I already know this thing is never going to get finished now

So just learned that God Syndicate is keeping its full demo behind a paywall for 2 months and like Jesus that just killed all the hope I have for the game to ever actually come out I get wanting to get paid for your work but come on man two months for what reason??? I dont think authors should even make patreons if they dont update regularly like it took years for this demo to update it's really disappointing cause I liked this game it had a pretty unique idea but come on
I'm wondering if anyone will point out it's technically against the rules.
Last time I remember CoG staff were asked to clarify if and how the Patreon rule applies, there was no clear definitive answer given. I believe they are afraid of losing authors if they press the issue, but then why not get rid of the rule no one enforces anyway? ffs
All of this was mentioned in the gen chat, and honestly if anyone knows how to report this to cog staff, do let me know and I'll do it
DM a moderator, I guess? Or by e-mail maybe? f if I know
"Where as Chapter Two will remain on the DIVINE TIER of my Patreon for a month, at which point it will be available for both the Divine and Mortal Tiers."
This is the exact message, meaning that it will be for that divine tier for a month, and after that it will still be on patreon but also for the mortal tier, whatever the **** that is
And I'll see if I can report this **** to the cog, though I doubt those bunch of pussies will do anything

@wkahwoah you're going to need Hackett help to make the html
At least two months, if not more
Maybe they have a special deal with COG? I doubt anything will be done even if they don't. Some games with "Patreon" tiers tend to never have to upload them. It seems like it's up to the author.
The only deals that I've been informed of, are the ones when you publish your games through them, and not just hosting a wip, though that doesn't mean that some deal about that haven't been made as well
From what I've heard CC has deals with them and there are barely any games from her that I'd call fully released.
Edit: She even has a Heart's Choice game that as usual is not finished yet iirc and that would be official and not hosted, right?
afaik Shepherds author also had a deal, before transitioning to Twine at least. But to me, these deals always sounded like something decided on a case-by-case basis, not just "ask and ye shall receive". Still, if they were to really push it, it would just get a bunch more people to transit to Twine.
It simply isn't practical for them to enforce it, I guess.
Like others have said, I don't think they want authors leaving. That's probably why their rules are so vague and they don't typically do anything about this. The only reason that one author started updating their public release frequently a few months ago was due to people's outrage and was not caused by any intervention from COG.
Yeah, but she's publishing through them, as can be seen on Steam. And if she's publishing through them, she makes deals behind the scenes, hence why all of that looks like the way it does, but also, she does have some three ifs published already believe it or not, and I think all of those are through them
