Might be a tag or something hidden in the picture, like a number only 4/5 pixels high which changes on every download. Beyond that I have no idea.
In the beginning it could've been as simple, as people using the same username on multiple platforms. Maybe DPC is the true narc, and we're all under investigation as part of a massive anti-piracy effort initiated by a Shadow Council of degenerate content creators :illuminati: .

Oh, he send the images to each patron? I thought it was a single post in the patreon page.
It used to be from a single post, but a lot of special renders got leaked that way. (Someone had posted a MEGA link with all the special renders back in the day)

To catch the leaker he started sending the images individually, so I guess he has a way of tracking the images.

It makes sense. Or maybe something like a unique digital signature in each picture.
That also makes sense. All I know is that he knows who the leaker is if an image gets leaked.

He probably watermarked or put in signs to tell apart who was the patreon that leaked it.
That makes sense. But how did he manage to give each patreon a different image?
Unless Sombo took the preview from the email that DPC sends to the patreons. Then the preview could have been watermarked with Sombo's email address and was thus expilicitly assignable.:unsure:

This explains why the $30 previews are posted here only after a while in highly compressed quality to cover up the traces of the crime.

Check the official walkthrough for all the locations. As far as I can see Jill #10 is not in Episode 5, so rn I'm not quite sure which one you mean.

I wonder how he can trace them? Is it even possible? I don't understand how he was able to track down SomboSteel.
when i got caught, DPC was slowly changing his patreon reward release process from a general email sent to all patrons who qualified that just had the preview pic in the email itself, to sending out emails with individual links to download the preview pic. i also imagine they were sent out in waves to narrow down possible leaks

i posted the Sage preview pic like 5-10 min after i got the download link, and like a few minutes after that DPC already knew who i was and sent me on my way.

idk how he does stuff now, but i imagine its still similar to that process. i never had anything even close to the same username here and on patreon, so it wasnt hard to anonymously post the preview pic without being discovered. but he finally figured out the just mass emailing the image itself wasnt going to ever be trackable lol

He probably marked the picture somehow. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to track you by your post. Did it have a hash in the name maybe ?
