Patreon is where they originate from, so if Microsoft attack the place they work from they also attack Itch itself because no new updates can be made if the developer is forced to shutdown the site. Plus the development team that worked on the game disbanded because of the DMCA that happened twice on that site because of the game.
Now they changing their patreon and making for a new game that has no way of making Microsoft or any other attack them because of copyright.
Rememeber, the DMCA is because of Minecraft, not just because they were after the Patreon.
