uhhhh are people seriously donating to a dev that only does 1 update a year? Wow you would probably get better results holding all donations until AFTER the update, seeing how the update is and then if it doesn't suck then you donate. Really moronic to donate otherwise for 1 update a year.
Why do so many people on this pirate forum get so worked up by the fact that other people are out there bankrolling your enjoyment of porn? Do you realize that all porn is paid by someone? Those Brazzers videos you watch on Pornhub are paid by companies or other wealthy dudes who hope that subscribers' fees will keep up with the costs of paying performers, renting fancy homes, cleaning up after, etc. etc. No one is owed sexual gratification.
Patrons of creative work in general--and this applies to Patreon donors today--support artists and their creative endeavors for a variety of reasons, only one of which is that they want to obtain access to the work(s) being created. Historically, wealthy patrons supported great artists so that those artists could live off their art and not starve between commissions. Patreon works on the same principle, but offers everyone (not just the wealthiest elite) a place and a way to support their favorite creators. Patreon supporters make it possible for pirates and others to enjoy these games, just as we can enjoy Mozart's music thanks to the support of people like Maximilian Franz and others like him.
Specific to Being a DIK and its support, DPC's "updates" are as big as some other developers' entire games. So to say that DPC only "drops one update a year" is a little bit like saying "Michelangelo only sculpted 20 statues his entire life." Obviously, DPC's episodes are not like Michelangelo's works in terms of artistic significance or anything else, but in the AVN/porn game world, DPC is a big deal, so my analogy is apt, I think.
I, myself, subscribed to DPC's Patreon for about 3 years, but now just drop $25 on the month of the release because I'd rather spread by monthly donations out across several developers (I support half a dozen or so still on a monthly basis). I'm an older guy with a decent income and I enjoy BaDIK and other games enough that I want to contribute to their development and I know a lot of other people can't afford to. I also support other non-porn Patreons that relate to personal interests I have. Just as I pay Netflix every month, even when they aren't dropping new episodes of my favorite shows.
