Depends. If I had a job making $100k or more a year, doing $20 to $40 isn't a big deal. Only big deal is I was raised to value goods, not goods in progress. Honestly, I have played plenty of games that were high quality and didn't use patreon or kickstarter, or any other service like them. The only catch is time to make. People get on patreon hoping they can quit a normal job and go full tilt game developer. The problem is a lot of them lose interest in being a full time developer, which causes a lot of problems. If they keep a job and work on it in their spare time, it is a hobby, not a job, and when their hobby produces a finished product and they make a decent amount of cash off it, then they should be able to decide if they want to be an actual developer.I can understand the reasoning behind this, but a game like this would never get made through the conventional process. Or if it did, it wouldn't be the game it is now. DS clearly had something different in mind when he started it. It's certainly not worth $40 a month to me, but the amount I do contribute towards it is worth the orgasm or two it gives me with each update.
I don't know DS's background in that regard, but too many patreon folks have stopped without a finished product, while many non patreon folks have made phenomenal games. I wish I could remember a few, but since coming to this site, my memory is a bit blurred due to the sheer amount of patreon backed games on this site leaving me a bit confused on which is or is not a patreon backed game. The only difference between patreon and non patreon is time to make a finished product, and for many, satisfaction. Growing up, I wanted to be an archaeologist. I got to college, started taking my first classes in it, and realized my dream since childhood was really not what I thought it would be like. I went to work on a degree in IT afterwards. I feel this is what happens to many patreon folks who want to make their first real game.
Edit
And as for orgasms, this game doesn't really do much for me in that regard. Sex scenes are too short, and the lack of visual stimuli, save for a freaky looking, discolored dick, kinda ruins many of the scenes. What keeps me going is the promises of the future content to come and the quality of the rest of the game.
