I'll quote your exact words : "You don't ask for people to pay you to develop it, you develop it and get rewarded if people wants to." Blowa, 2018

If we reach and stay with more than 100$/month all the donators will get 3 time the value they gave in the NosCore shop(NosCore shop monaie will be usable on the NosCore server or on the noscoreio plateform to get your own NosCore pserver).

I can only see :
"We added a kofi on the github page for people wanting to give but not on a recurring way.[...]Development cost being a bit expensive we still need your donation.[...]Getting your donations is the only way we have to stay in dev."
Wow, I am so outraged he needs money to have something done. That's so selfish, I didn't know he was a guy like that.

So, is it actually meant to threaten that if he does not get donations, he'll stop NosCore's Emulator development like
he already said many times on NosCore's Discord ? (I'm serious, this is the sentence that triggered my interrogations since the beginning)
(I can tell that I could read that when I came to Lucifer to ask if he wanna go for a common API which he refused arguing that Pathfinding should been done in C and that ECS is made for C++ but not for C#)

"Ubuntu is a free and open source operating system and Linux distribution based on Debian."
I don't see any bullshit thrown at them for that, do I?
Are you gonna tell the developers behind Ubuntu their "kickstarter like announcement is not related to what it's supposed to be." ? I'm really looking forward to that.

Do not compare Canonical's product to NosCore, Canonical is a company that created a lot of services around their products, NosCore is,
as the thread title says, [OPEN SOURCE PROJECT] NosCore.io
It's his choice to make NosCore's Emulator as OpenSource, now if he wants to develop a SaaS around it, he does what he wants, but don't mix costs
Think about this: OpenNos mainly
stopped because
developers didn’t got enough money when leechers were getting the whole money for doing nothing. Which result in an abandonned software where everyone is asking for small changes.

How many times he already threatened (Discord and some other places to close source it because he had no financial helps ? (I need to repeat myself since you don't get what I mean)

I am shocked that you didn't know it earlier from your little french group :o
Think what you want, I defend the PoV that his SaaS's costs & NosCore's Emulator development are not meant to be in the same bucket. (If you still don't get me, Privat Repos, CD, paid Crash Reports services are mostly made for his SaaS)
That's how a lot of huge projects in the world works, you develop an opensource project freely and make a SaaS around it to get money. (Hey Kubernetes, Serverless, Containers, React, Vue...)
