So, it doesn't not stated that it needs to be Patreon, "developer's public creator/crowdfunding accounts" and of course, ignoring the whole "we will resolve special circumstances or scenarios on a case-by-case basis (no creator accounts, creators developing for free, Patreon accounts under review/ban).".
Yes, the earliest that this could happend would be 16th of April, yet regarding that Runey is an active member of the board and posting in this thread, interacting with others and so on, here on the zone, I doubt that this will happen at the 16th of April. His
last post regarding development is from the 11th of March, therefore it would mean nothing will happen before 11th June.
