do you get in-game "thank you gifts" for donating here that further incentivize people to hit that donate button? No!!! so fuck off then with that noise

First of all a thank you is not enough to predatorially incentivize people. And to suggest that's what they were doing is conspiratorial and based on imaginary trauma not reality.

There’s nothing inherently wrong or immoral about donating to a game and receiving something in return. There’s no rule, legal or ethical, that says a donation stops being a donation the moment a trivial in game digital reward is involved.

Disliking that model doesn’t make it invalid, and it doesn’t prove anything beyond personal preference.

A lot of this reaction feels less like principle and more like leftover frustration from pay-to-win mobile games being projected onto a completely different situation.

What’s stranger is how quick people are to shut down transparent indie developers who are openly trying to fund their work and build something sustainable.

Honorariums are the way of things in much of the world. There's a good deal of western chauvinism at play in the THJ controversy.

Exactly, Aporia and team ruined it for everybody. I don't know a word in the english language that accurately represents how selfish and disrespectful you have to be to do what they've done. This doesn't even have anything to do with muh corporatocracy bullshit, they destroyed a niche gaming community with the prior intention of using us as a shield because they knew what they were doing was overtly illegal.

They aren't fighting some big megalithic corporation that negatively impacts society, they're fighting a small business that allow(ed)s us to use their product how we wanted for free.

It is a small consolation that them and every moron who helped them is fucked.
