I cannot speak on behalf of every pirate but this pirate used to support so many creators even before I found F95 and i have been hit with so many abandoned tags its unreal. Honestly if the dev is good and keeps communication and content flow the support will flow to them. The communication and content flow are very important part of the dev/support relationship. Like if my wife stopped talking to me I would stop supporting her. Capiche?

Communication is definitely important, I guess some devs aren't as good at it and some just don't care.
I don't think I'd put Aleksey in the "just don't care" category though, I don't know much about his personal situation but it sounds like he has a lot going on right now that's keeping him from working on the game as much as he'd like to. On top of the game needing more work than he expected. He probably should try to update with news a bit more often even if some people would just blow it off and still call him a scammer, they'll do that no matter what.
And when I say "entitled pirates" I mean the kind of people that endlessly complain whenever a game (any game) doesn't have a massive update every week, or try to demand things be added or removed from the games, or get aggressively angry towards the devs over certain types of content (*cough* NTR *cough*) but have never once given even a cent in support of any of them.
I download these games for free too just like most of you.
I did used to support a few of them (including Dark Silver when Big Brother was still being worked on), but I no longer have a way of paying for it (not broke, just don't have any usable payment methods...don't ask) so I can't pay even if I wanted to.
There are things (types of content I guess) I'd like to see in this game, but no way can I or should I try to demand anything. Even if I DID support the game at the highest tier I wouldn't do that (unless it was a poll or something.)
Other than that I just hope certain things about the old game are either toned down or changed (mostly having to do with Eric or Max being rapey) and that the game is more fun to play overall.
In conclusion: Fuck Eric!

I think a pretty good chunk of the people who pirate games fall more into the "try before you buy" camp than the "free forever" camp. Most of the games I have, I've paid for. Adult games are a bit different since most of them are indie projects and the value proposition just isn't there for a lot of them. They're closer to the value prospect of a free mod for a paid game. I'll buy the game, but not the mod. There's a minimum threshold a game needs to meet for me to pay for it and one of those thresholds is that it has to actually be a finished product. So I don't do Patreon subscriptions but I'm happy to buy a game I consider good on Steam or some other platform for a single "one and done" price.
So I can see why a dev would prioritize their Patreon supporters over comments on a pirate site, but I think most devs realize that a good chunk of those pirates are potential customers. So it makes sense to listen to feedback from them as well. Most people commenting on a game's forum are doing so because there is something about the game they like and they want to see improvements to it. If there was nothing redeeming about the game (to them), they're probably not going to comment on it at all.

Played all the way to getting rid of Eric in the old Another Story version, and managed to miss the Lisa path AGAIN, still don't know exactly how that plays out.
Hmm I do have an old save from before I started the blackmail on Eric thing, guess I'll go from there.
It's also a little ridiculous that Eric says his wallet had $25k in it and everyone just believed him.
It probably didn't even have $25 lol (if I remember right his wallet was empty in the original game.)
I still say the photo of Eric jerking off where you can clearly see who he's jerking it to should have been enough to launch his ass into the sun. Maybe set him up and somehow have another character (Ann wouldn't be able to rationalize seeing that...I'd hope) witness it themselves. Or just find a way to wake Alice up while he's in there, she would rip his balls off herself.
What I really want is for Ann herself to realize he's a bastard based on something he did to her and kick him out on her own.
But who knows what Aleksey has planned for the "rebuild" as far as all that goes.
Edited to add:
I like the little scenes with Max and Lisa when you sleep later, it's hilarious how she's so in denial about how she's checking out his schlong lol.
Oh, and I just remembered.
Max telling Ann she has the "coolest boobs I've ever seen" sounds like something Butt-Head would say lol.
As far as getting feedback, It's also about HOW they give their feedback. Actual genuine constructive criticism is a lot more helpful than angrily ranting about something minor, giving a bad review because a first release doesn't let you fuck every character in the game world, demanding things be added or removed, or making borderline threats because a character (often a mom or sister) isn't just the MC's mindless plaything (NTR tag always causes trouble lol.)
Which also goes for paying customers too, obviously.
Players can be just as bad at communicating as devs.
The last thing, yeah I'm definitely in that group. I see games that I would never play all the time, I just put the thread on ignore usually. And if it's a game I didn't like I just don't play it anymore.

I've definitely done the "Try before you buy" thing with games here back when I could pay for anything. And yeah the "I just want it for free" types probably aren't the majority.

I want to have the option of having him rendered down into soap and used to clean pig pens. Just one of my ideas anyways.
Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Don't mean to double-post but I finally saw the Lisa path for getting rid of Eric, I like it a lot more than the Alice...method...
Of course if we could combine exposing him as a sexual predator AND having him get chopped to bits, or made into soap, or any other painful method I'd like it even more lol.

Not exactly a major update but Aleksey did say on Discord he's "filling the game with events that weren't there before."
Which I like to hear, especially after playing another game where you have to click through weeks and weeks of the same thing to get through one event sequence.

(just to be clear I don't mean BBAS)

Who played the rebuild? Is it just straight starting from the beginning and all the progress made is meaningless? Or is there actually a good amount of content and the time put in before wasn't a complete waste?
