Essentially it is them he is developing the game for, whenever he does something because he's paid and not because he likes it.
This looks like pay to win, at least to me.
This is a formal warning to you as a member of the community to not attempt to spread outright lies regarding the community management, ESPECIALLY as something as important as the donation drive.
All of the income from the donations go for three things. The upkeep of the server boxes, both forum and server, and - when needed, for the migration and setting up of a new box.
The development team, admins or moderators do NOT have access nor use the donation money.
We are not sure whether or not you have posted this as satire, but be aware that even off-the-hand references of something so sensitive can be damaging to the community.
You have been warned.
