There's nothing regarded as security as long as the one with data is willing to share every file component wether it's a key or password.. Maybe he's randomly changing it everytime idk..

Can someone explain how can a developer protects an update from being leaked here?

By URL? He cannot. There is always a need to REupload downloaded file, do not use original url simply because it can be put down by dev himself and swapped for patreons to new one (cat-mouse game).

If someone really downloaded it, i assume it is processed automatically, in other way it would not be any user-friendly method :D Then he can always pack up his whole game folder and share it as a package ;)

There are also some known methods based on linking account with patreon/subscribestar subscriptions, but it is easily bypassable, especially in RenPy games which are open-coded :D

Yeah ..umm can he like generate personalized passwords for each paying member in a form of locked rar zip file etc.. where it would be more challenging to make it available public for everyone?

Of course, he can always generate individual urls with individual package password (still don't think so, a lot of uploading work), but still if shared in pair, you download exactly as user who got it from dev. But still, someone downloads it, he can always share it publically (reup)

How would that make it more challenging? Just unpack it and re-upload it without a password?
