This is a pirate site. Whether they're OK or not doesn't matter; the game will still be shared here. So they've decided to engage with us, hoping to increase patronage. I think it has.

Anti-piracy measures? Someone care to post what they are?

Anyone wanting to share anonymously can report the OP, put the link in the report, and request anonymity.
This is the warning we gave our Patrons:

WARNING!!! To combat piracy (Sharing the download links to other websites), we have added a feature where every Patron is assigned with a unique download link. Also, once the game is downloaded, it has a unique identification number. With this new feature, we can identify the bad apples. Once identified, the Patron that is sharing this game to pirate sites will be BANNED!

So giving you or someone else the game to share it anonymously is not a option. We can still identify who shared the game.

Now that being said. We like this community and we will share the game here in a few days if no one else does. We just want the game to be behind a paywall for a few days. So maybe some more people decide to be Patrons. This will help us bring you bigger and better updates because we will be able to hire more people. So win/win

Well, if someone wants to send me the link, i will repost. Like someone said before, this forum is about piracy. By the way, the dev probaly benefits from this, cause more people will know his work and will support him.

OK, a few things here I want to respond to.

First, the "unique download link" and "unique identification number". I'm having a hard time believing this. But, since I'm a "coder", I can easily verify this. I'm asking patrons to go to the download page at and PM me the first download link. I will compare the links, download the contents, and examine for unique identifiers. You will, of course, remain anonymous, and I won't upload what I get anywhere.

Second, the entire reason for you guys to have a presence here is to engage with the community, and gain new patrons as people here find and like your games. Stuff like this is a turnoff, and (I believe) will lead to less people from here becoming patrons.

Third, the people here who play for free are likely not going to become $25 patrons just because the game doesn't show up here for a few days. I don't think your actions will have the indented results.

Fourth, you say you're going to upload the game here after a few days. I don't think you should. Your $10 level says access to EoL and Living with Mia after 3 days. You shouldn't give that away for free here if you're charging on Patreon. I don't think you should upload them at all unless you release them for free on Patreon. Perhaps release the previous version for free?

I can understand waiting a few weeks, that's fine, and hey, you need to eat. But I will say this like I say on abridged series, sites like this are also good for business since it helps spread your game further and get out to more people, to where if it's something a lot of people like, more will want to support you. It's why some anime series get a major boost in popularity and success when abridgers make episodes of the series, because it get's more people interested in the show and gets more people to support the actual creators.
