Simply off, the author needs to tell them to pound sand and find another option. Really, they'd probably have a better option of incorporating in HK as a small 1-employee online business.Considering that pretty much all of the game's content violated the community rules, we may well be getting an almost entirely different game back when it comes back up.

So Devs made the annoucement that Pateron has shutdown his game
Exactly.This ain't no tragedy. The dev knew what they were getting into, they understood the nature of their content and Patreon's rules regarding it, but decided to go on and push the rules for a quick buck fully aware of the risk that their project might not see completion.
Fanbase and sunk cost fallacy is my guess. Realisticly they've still got all the work they've already put into the game, the only thing patreon has lost them is their connection to their paying fans. Swapping would inevitably cost them some of those subscribers who for whatever reason fail to make the platform hop with them, but in my opinion thats still better than having no paying subscribers due to being deplatformed. Other than that, just plain inertia of having to go to the effort of setting up on a new site. it's not a huge amount of work, but it does require them to mentally cut their losses with patreon, which is surprisingly hard for many people to do.Exactly.
At this point, I don't understand why he's still insisting on using patreon. Isn't there a bunch of alternatives like fantia or enty, which are made for this stuff? I know patreon has a bigger reach and it's more accessible but let's be honest here: he's not making a game for general public, but a dedicated audience with specific tastes.
He's trying to have his cake and eat it, and obviously, it's not going to work.
Congrats to the developerSomething something I'm getting married, so development of updates will slow down. There will be no updates for January.
Might not be the best meme to use, considering how starcraft 2 turned out...
