That's not what Saru was saying. The problem is whatever semantics you choose to apply, money is being given to you to support this game, which means that while no special treatment for those donating is expected, it is expected that you use that money to do basic things like back-up the game for situations like this. Simply saying "oh well" does not cut it. Even a bona fide charity would not be able to pull this crap and have people be fine with it, and this is no charity. Whatever you want to call them, when people pay money in exchange for anything of value, it is not a donation in any real sense (legal or otherwise).
