DBM作者在收到一大笔捐款后, 预计于周一(9/17)去看牙医,
同时他也感谢社群的帮助.
以下翻译后续他的论坛回应,
由于他用辞有些口语化, 我有稍作润饰一些, 但意思应该都有到.
==============================以下正文意译=============================
我想多说几句, 如果有人认为我的说明是假作恳求,
可以来看看我接获的帮助有多大.
1. 我几天前发文不是要大书此事, 事实上我本来要低调些,
因为我担心说完就有: "没DBM玩不下去啦, 也不用抖囉", 这类论调,
导致失去我仅存的资助. 不过显然地, 我完全错估了社群的力量.
2. 我说的每一句都是100%事实, 而且我十分乐意尽力回复我用各位的抖内就医,
或是买电脑配备的证明或清单, 以感谢这么多人对我的帮助.
3. 这笔善款有任何剩余的部分不会进到我的口袋,
之后我计画请额外的助手, 并把DBM做好做大.
我一直梦想DBM有更多资源我就要用来开发.
若是做完这些还有剩, 我会想办法退回, 或是把这些善款传出去.
(这里疑似错字pay->play),
可能捐赠出去之类的.
ps: 小提醒, 不要在游戏中谈论这件事, 我不希望任何人因此被暴雪处罚,
因为游戏中打广告或商募是违反社群规章的.
在粉丝团, 公开论坛等是没问题,
但在游戏频道做这些会违反暴雪用户授权协议, 在暴雪的论坛也是一样.
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.

译评:
我很关注这位作者的处境, 他动不动提老母不是妈宝,
而是妈妈寡妇又身障需要他照顾,
而全职专注做DBM筹募生活费同时在家照顾妈妈是他唯一能做的,
(似乎有乡民说BZ曾经邀请他去加州但他婉拒, 也是妈妈的缘故, 未求证)
就像他说的:
"我一直认为自己能够向整个社群证明：
我值得为我的作品的水准与努力得到更多报酬，而不是乞求大家的怜悯"
后续我会持续追踪他怎么用这笔钱,
数额应该是非常非常多...不过这也是他应得的.
能努力10多年默默付出不求回报很不容易, 全世界的网友只是回应他那单纯一筋的付出.
很显然他并不认为会有这么多抖内, 所以还没想好怎么用(当然会先治病+换电脑),
他有计画要做更多更好的功能以回报社群, 大家可以期待.
冷言酸语国内国外都有, 看看我们第一篇底下的推文lol,
他发文前后的担心是很正常可以理解的,
只能说还好魔兽玩家还是多数有温暖, 不是所有人都尖酸刻薄干话当实话.
希望后续结局是好的, 这是我打电动以来最温馨的几件事了!
