F95zone has bullied me for the last time. (Patreon)

🚨 Internet Drama Alert! Read With Caution! 🚨
I've had a really bad couple of days... I'm in bits, frankly 😥
For a long time I've been active on an adult games site called F95, and even promoted it. It's where I began making my game, and I would not be an understatement to say that I loved it once.
Sadly, the site has been taken over by a clique of toxic Mods and Staff who have bullied multiple users and friends of mine off the site. While attempting to defend some of their victims, I became a target myself.
This clique has recently attacked me and SpaceCorps - deliberately sabotaging the game's rating, insulting me, deleting many of my posts, and banning me from the SpaceCorps thread. The Admins have refused to intervene, and I've been left with no choice but sever my connection with this unpleasant site.
I will undoubtedly lose funding, exposure, and feedback because of this - but the treatment I've received there has put me under enormous stress over the past month. It may sound silly, but it got to me so much that it ended up delaying the last two releases.
Rather than put myself through any more of this, and lose any more dev time, it's now time to cut the cord and pay the price.
It's important to make it clear that my anger and sadness is nothing to do with the fantastic users, devs, uploaders and modders from F95 - the community there is fantastic, and I've gained enormously from it. Indeed, it's where I first met many of you. The problem is exclusively with a corrupt administration who have ruined a once great site - Mods, Staff and Admins who have so lost their way that they treat the users and devs who form the core of their site like dirt.
I would advise any aspiring devs to avoid this site; and suggest that anyone who uses it to download games should avoid any interaction with UncleVT, redknight00, KiK and m4zy - all toxic individuals who will hurt you any way they can.
Anyway - sorry for moaning at you when you should be playing the latest update. I'm off to eat a big bag of Malteasers and feel sorry for myself 🍫
