I smell jealousy, bitterness. Donations . is giving away something for free, in exchange for nothing.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.
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.
