The game is shared at the highest level and the $10 and $5 patrons, don't have the game yet and can't play it. I think it is unfair that the others should be helped but the people who support the game ($10 and $5) cannot play it yet.
I agree that this is an issue but it's a known and obvious problem with having staggered release tiers on Patreon unless you can implement a way of preventing leaks which Aleksey has not done. He's not done that because it's hard/time consuming and even the way you mention (which I think is the only way for a game which isn't browser-based) isn't fool proof despite the time investment required. So, if he isn't going to put this time in to prevent leaks, then the only way to not have his low-tier patreons getting fucked over is to not have his monetization strategy include a staggered release. You can't jump into a lion's cage then complain when it bites you because that is the known outcome. You cannot sweet talk the lion just as you cannot prevent leaks as a solo dev. Therefore you cannot complain when leaks cause your monetization strategy to fuck over your supporters.
However, stopping you from helping people here does not prevent leaks. It doesn't even hurt the leakers themselves. If you're helping patrons on discord for this game then you're probably actually helping the very people your master is angry with.
I think it is right that I am not allowed to help here
Tangents aside, this is the problem. Not your testing. Not Aleksey's patreon system. Not his supporters. Not how and when the game leaks. It's the fact that you allow somebody who you pay and help out massively to dictate how you post on forums. I will repeat that if you don't want to help people, that's fine, the key word being "you".
