Is something being a scam not a legitimate reason to stop funding?
Yes? Why would you even bring this up? Where did I remotely imply otherwise? Oh. Right. You fucking suck at reading and you're arguing with your own imagination rather than the posts I made.
Also, if multiple people are pointing out how your wording is, at best, terrible if not completely conveying another point than what you intended then maybe you're the one with the reading comprehension of a toddler.
Ah yes, because many wrongs make a right, of course, how could I be so foolish. I mean it's not as if I've been correcting you every step of the way and you actually never had a coherent argument as a rebuttal before jumping to more false conclusions and misinterpreting simple text. Since you seem to be getting confused allow me to summarize my main talking points in a single post:
1. This Patreon is a disaster. This has been my sentiment for well over a year now, back last year when the developer was pressed for a new demo which got constantly delayed (I seem to recall this being mostly around October last year)
2. There is no evidence of the developer willfully committing fraud. Fraud is a criminal offense punishable by law, it requires intent. Making a deal and being unable to fill your end of the bargain does not constitute fraud, therefor calling it a scam simply because you didn't get what you think you should is inaccurate and misleading.
3. Until there is evidence of fraud, it's pointless to act as if a scam has occurred. Simply put, proof before conviction. While it is certainly POSSIBLE that the developer here just played a con, possibility is not enough to proclaim something as such.
4. For us, the users, there is no tangible difference between fraud or incompetence, in both cases our response is to pull funding, so there is no point in escalating this matter to fraud, especially when we have no evidence to back up such claims. The only thing we know for sure is that the developer has not produced any work worthy of the financial compensation he received for it, and is undeserving of any more.
5. In this case, proclaiming someone as a fraudster, conman, scammer or what have you actually is a crime, while you're unlikely to be prosecuted for it, slander/libel like this could get you in trouble, so why do it when there is literally no damn point other than childish hyperbole?
Now that we can hopefully stop making shit up to disagree with, we can start having a normal fucking conversation without me needing to explain basic facts. Thanks.
