DBM作者在收到一大筆捐款後, 預計於週一(9/17)去看牙醫,
同時他也感謝社群的幫助.
以下翻譯後續他的論壇回應,
由於他用辭有些口語化, 我有稍作潤飾一些, 但意思應該都有到.
==============================以下正文意譯=============================
我想多說幾句, 如果有人認為我的說明是假作懇求,
可以來看看我接獲的幫助有多大.
1. 我幾天前發文不是要大書此事, 事實上我本來要低調些,
因為我擔心說完就有: "沒DBM玩不下去啦, 也不用抖囉", 這類論調,
導致失去我僅存的資助. 不過顯然地, 我完全錯估了社群的力量.
2. 我說的每一句都是100%事實, 而且我十分樂意盡力回覆我用各位的抖內就醫,
或是買電腦配備的證明或清單, 以感謝這麼多人對我的幫助.
3. 這筆善款有任何剩餘的部分不會進到我的口袋,
之後我計畫請額外的助手, 並把DBM做好做大.
我一直夢想DBM有更多資源我就要用來開發.
若是做完這些還有剩, 我會想辦法退回, 或是把這些善款傳出去.
(這裡疑似錯字pay->play),
可能捐贈出去之類的.
ps: 小提醒, 不要在遊戲中談論這件事, 我不希望任何人因此被暴雪處罰,
因為遊戲中打廣告或商募是違反社群規章的.
在粉絲團, 公開論壇等是沒問題,
但在遊戲頻道做這些會違反暴雪用戶授權協議, 在暴雪的論壇也是一樣.
I just want to add, anyone that thinks my post is a fake plea to just sit on
a pile of money.
1. I wasn't even expecting this post to explode. I actually tried to keep it
low key cause I was worried I'd LOSE subs for it and "sky is falling, drop
support" posts instead. But apparently I COMPLETELY misjudged community.
2. Everything I said was 100% true, and am more than happy to post
proof/papers of any work I do thanks to all of you to improve my health, or
my computer.
3. Anything extra that's left over, isn't going to be used to stuff my
mattress with money so I can sleep on piles of money. I legit have plans to
bring on additional help and do bigger things with DBM. It was ALWAYS my hope
that if dbm got more support that I'd bring on more dev support. If there is
STILL money left over, I'm constantly looking for ways to give back and will
play it forward in supporting others or doing give aways or something.
PS, a reminder, don't post this in game. I don't want myself or any of you
getting in trouble with blizzard. No soliciting or advertising in game.
Fansites, social media, etc is fine, but keep in game channels clear of
requests for support. This can be seen as violation of blizzard solicitation
policy. Same for official blizzard forums.

譯評:
我很關注這位作者的處境, 他動不動提老母不是媽寶,
而是媽媽寡婦又身障需要他照顧,
而全職專注做DBM籌募生活費同時在家照顧媽媽是他唯一能做的,
(似乎有鄉民說BZ曾經邀請他去加州但他婉拒, 也是媽媽的緣故, 未求證)
就像他說的:
"我一直認為自己能夠向整個社群證明：
我值得為我的作品的水準與努力得到更多報酬，而不是乞求大家的憐憫"
後續我會持續追蹤他怎麼用這筆錢,
數額應該是非常非常多...不過這也是他應得的.
能努力10多年默默付出不求回報很不容易, 全世界的網友只是回應他那單純一筋的付出.
很顯然他並不認為會有這麼多抖內, 所以還沒想好怎麼用(當然會先治病+換電腦),
他有計畫要做更多更好的功能以回報社群, 大家可以期待.
冷言酸語國內國外都有, 看看我們第一篇底下的推文lol,
他發文前後的擔心是很正常可以理解的,
只能說還好魔獸玩家還是多數有溫暖, 不是所有人都尖酸刻薄幹話當實話.
希望後續結局是好的, 這是我打電動以來最溫馨的幾件事了!
