I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!
I'll share some of the info below:
Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.
What to do?
-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides
- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!
To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!
Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!
Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.
also here is a whole website that not only has a shit ton of adventures and such but lets you search for any item or npc or whatever and see their stats and info at your fingertips
Fun fact: if you, as an adult, tell miserable children that their youth is the best that life will ever be, and that it's all just downhill from there, there's a percentage of them who will hear this and think "well, I guess I better kill myself before that happens." And a certain percentage of those will proceed to do that and succeed.
Anyway what I'm saying is that any time you feel tempted to say that, you should instead consider shutting the fuck up. Just because you peaked at 16 doesn't mean anyone else did. Most peoples' lives get better than that.
I got lunch with my uncle and my neice, who Fifteen(tm) and i was like How Are You?
And she was just like "school sucks, my mom sucks, being fifteen sucks, i just want to grow up"
and so me, a wise and wisened newly fresh thirty year old just replied "yeah it does fucken suck!"
And when i tell you the air physically lightened up and she laughed so hard! And she told me more about why it all sucks and how she feels like no one listened to her, and they tell her to just do it, just get it done, and this girl is tired! She has so much homework and she feels like shes not smart because shes inundated with homework and school and she feels like the people in her life are not hearing her!
Just agree with people when they say something sucks for them! Offer a little sympathy, have some empathy. It does fucking suck being Fifteen.
My thoughts as someone who has been fixated on Pressure for the last two years + even did official art.
For those of you like me who need to move on but are scared to because the media is close to you.

Hi. Since this is going in the pressure tag, I might as well introduce myself. Iâm Cotgar, the artist of the Gotchapon birthday artwork and the most recent Sebastian Solace reference sheet. Iâve been fixated on Pressure since October 2024, even committing personal things to it such as cosplay, merchandise, personal poster works, and two years of fan art.
My statements here assume you know the bare minimum of what happened: Zeal sexually assaulted the previous soundtrack musician, Ren.
These statements also originally came out on 4/8. Specific thoughts may differ a little, but my message stays the same.
âââ
I want to approach this as a community member first and foremost.
My take? The gameâs done. I personally wish to see no more support for it, as although the main focus of the document is Zeal, Ren mentions cruel involvement from the dev team and their blatant coverups of Zeals actions, painting Ren as âunstableâ. I have promptly left the discords, which I encourage you to do as well.
As for what to do mentally? Thatâs the hard part as someone whoâs been so invested in the lore, story, gameplay, and every other aspect of the game. I literally doodled gotchapon this morning all over my work papers. But as someone who doesnât wish to support the game anymore, I really find it hard to just cut that off. I am not defending the devs in any way by saying that. I am coming purely from a hyperfixation standpoint where my blorbos are jingling around in my brain.
I would like to say: you will not be incriminated to still love the characters for who they were before this point. I will still forever adore the characters Iâve grown to love. But not the ones who wrote them. Anything with them beyond this point in time is considered Not the characters Iâve surrounded myself with. With losing your sense of humanity as a person and involving yourself in disgusting shit like that, I believe that you lose the right to keep people âdoing what You want with their charactersâ. AKA. If I were to still draw Sebastian, letâs say, I could with no connection to the writers. I will not draw him with his wedding ring, for instance. He does not deserve to be âmarriedâ to a dev self insert. Itâs not the self insert thatâs the problem, mind you. Itâs the dev.
I suggest now is the time to maybe review that list of shows youâve been dying to watch. Check out those games that maybe, if youâre like me, youâve been scared to play because of fear that itâll take over the hyperfixation.
Move away.
ââââ
My connection and statement as *technically* an artist for the game:
I am horrified. One of the most prevalent things in Renâs document was the use of cute animal imagery to lull Ren into a sense of security. (From my experience), Kat and Zerum do the same thing. It is unbeknownst to me if it was manipulative. That is not my point. My point is that itâs real language used in the dev team, and it does not surprise me itâs being used maliciously. I am more so scared because I began picking up this habit because people I thought were âcoolâ were using it as fun conversation. I am impressionable. I began picking it up. Renâs document showed this to me and I suddenly felt my gut drop.
I will be brief. I have past experience of mental abuse and manipulation. Reading Renâs document was familiar to me. Not to such a sexual extent, but in a manipulation extent. Seeing the bunny imagery sickened me, as it made me realize that trauma flares that I had worked years and years in therapy to get rid of were now validated: I donât know whether to trust the devs that were smiling and being so polite to me.
I will not work with Pressure anymore. End of story.
âââ
You are allowed to still like the characters. The lore. The story. But supporting it is different, and I am ashamed that I have for this long. Am I sad that I probably canât post any more drawings of the silly fish being sad? Oh fuck yeah. That dude fucking rocks.
But this is not about me. To fellow people who feel sad about it too, this is not about you.
This is about being a fucking human being
ââââ
I await to see what the devs say to try and damage control.
Edit: Be civil. Suicide is never good, no matter what the person has done. Did we all curse him out? Yes. Is he a criminal? Yes. That does not validate death.
Be civil. Please. And do not bring it to my page. Do not bring any further discussion about Zeal to my page. Whatâs done is done. I will not mention any more. I need a minute.
hey so im posting this here because i know alot of people here don't use twitter but literally right fucking now a huge document cane out about zeal (the creator of pressure) having done some abhorrent shit to the ex-composer Ren/Nolongernull
I need you all to fucking read it, heed the warnings because its fucking graphic and read it. its fucking important
https://x.com/i/status/2041948615254437960
do NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE make this about pressure and the characters. a real fucking person was hurt and that matters way more than a roblox game. Do not make jokes about this too or say some bullshit like "heh zeal had it coming" because thats just being a fucking DICK and if you still do do those things then fuck you and everything you stand for
If you feel bad about supporting the game in the past (buying plushies, gamepasses, ect.) IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.
Literally nobody could have predicted this. It sucks. It really does. But remember it isn't your fault you enjoyed the game! Remember to take care of yourself during all of this.
I'm sending everyone affected by this so much love!! <33
