He could take legal action against this site with among many other developers , But he doesn't, because he is not asshole and not fool,
I agree with most of your post but this fragment means you don't know how internet works. There is literately nothing he can do against this site that would be effective in any way.

And my response to that would be unless you are a registered charity/non profit org for the tax breaks etc......running a business that relies on donations...is quite frankly stupidity in itself (especially if you have a mortgage etc, rent to pay blah blah). Donations can stop at any time. If he truly wants to be that serious...quit patroen...just sell the game on Steam. Wonder how much he would really make then? Do you see actual proper game devs (sorry, but using renpy etc does not count the same) from proper game companies using donation sites? Oh...no you don't. Maybe the odd kickstarter perhaps (Obsidian once) but they sell a product and don't live off donations.

However, if people are happy to give someone forty bucks a month with a promise (ultimately) of nothing....who am I to say he's doing it wrong. Lot of stupid around in the world wondering why they have no money every month.
I smell jealousy, bitterness. Donations . is giving away something for free, in exchange for nothing.

Patreon is an American membership platform based in the that provides business tools for creators to run a subscription content service. It allows creators and artists to earn a monthly income by providing exclusive rewards and perks to their subscribers, or "patrons"

You basically subscribing for content, like in a porn side. you paying for something you not giving you money away for free.

But since we are in a pirate forum, were most of us are not paying for anything, I don't understand why this contemptuous attitude coming from.

I know this topic has come up in the thread before, and I agree with you, it seems like people have a pretty distorted idea of how hard it is to create adult content for pay, and will go to great lengths to justify their accessing it for free. With that said, it does cut both ways. There's a substantial portion of folks who will buy if they get to try first, and especially in adult-content creation, income tends to be disproportionately contributed by 'whales' who provide very much more than the minimum contributors. This is true across patreon, but its especially true with adult content, where people who find something that hits on their particular fetishes and have substantial disposable income may pledge hundreds a month to ensure it continues to exist. This pattern exists outside of adult content (it's how many F2P/P2W mobile games work), but its especially amplified in adult content.

A lot of 'legitimate' paths to income are not really available to adult content; DPC has his material on Steam, but it's pretty uncommon to find XXX content there and there's more topics that aren't permissible. Criticizing the creator for using the best tools available to them, even if those tools are inadequtae or flawed, is pretty silly.

I'm not, :p
I will buy it once the game is finished :LOL:. but I don't pay for porn, or AAA games either, so nothing personal against DPC:ROFLMAO:.
This year i only buy Detroit Become Human, Final Fantasy XV and Nier Automata

Not to mention the amount of games they gave free for PC and consoles

As of right now not too much I believe. Off the top of my head, Bella won't like you very much if you make DIK choices and I think you'll miss some stuff with her and you'll miss out on a big choice regarding Josy and Maya that requires you to be CHICK or Neutral.

back to the game.

I wonder if I don't stood up for Maya, in the cum- petition, when Quinn harassing her, I lose a relationship point with Maya, but in this way I wonder if Quinn act different or not.

if you defend maya, then there is mentioned in your phone Bio ap , that Quinn noticed I care for maya.
I wonder if I don't protect Maya in that moment, She may not suspect, I'm interested in maya. ?!

So, I was a Major DIK pat supporter and I got banned from supporting DrPinkCake. I was chatting to someone on Discord about where I had first found his game on F95 Zone then became a supporter. I was warned about using "bad words". I spoke in chat several times unaware of what "bad words" I had used. I found out I said "F95 Zone" 3x and was kicked from Discord then banned from supporting DrPinkCake. I still believe in his work and would like to continue to support him. Could someone reach out to him to get this silly ban rectified? Thx guys.
Ya I actually got a pretty disrespectful message on Patreon (I was a $15 tier for about 5-6 months and bought Season 1 on Steam also) for linking a picture from this messageboard's server during a chat - I didn't even realize what F95 zone was at the time, but the way I was warned really ticked me off so I unsubscribed from Patreon. DPC's moderators are pricks, too, I've had a couple run-ins with them on the Steam messageboards and on Discord and they are not very friendly (or helpful when I've had questions in the past). So I'm happy to just not contribute anymore $ to his Patreon. Want my money? Gotta be respectful. There's a nice way to communicate just about everything, especially if it's someone's first "offense".

Take a look. Still my favorite interaction with Quinn to date.
Looks like the linked post was deleted, do you have a link to another one by chance? Thanks in advance.

It's still here, you two just have a different way of showing posts per page and he copypasted the URL in his browser instead of using the share button. So his link redirected you to another place

I wonder the same thing, since I am not able to not defend Maya regardless of the route I am taking.
