what is the choiceofmods forum ?
it's a place where folks share paid-for content from IF devs. they share links and passwords to things like playable NSFW patreon specials or entire alpha builds meant for playtesters and monetary supporters as a bonus for supporting.
the air of entitlement from the people using this forum is rancid. most IFs are made by a solo developer, not well-financed gaming studios or publishing houses. most are free or less than $10. offering bonus content via patreon is a way to supplement their time and effort, and sharing that content in this way actively harms our community.
as a community we have two options: 1) sign up to financially support our favorite developers and earn access to this early or auxiliary content, or 2) be fucking patient and wait for the game to be released!!
like what's not clicking for these people??
i'm not sharing the link to the forum because if this is fishing for information on how to access this paid content, i don't want to lead people there. but here are some screenshots under the cut. they're actually so so funny with the "leave us alone! just stop messing with our forum! maybe we should password lock this place" bullshit. the hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness is hilarious. authors are entitled and whiny?? look in the goddamn mirror.
