That's quite a narrow point of view. Many users live in coutries where a international credit card is a VERY expensive thing to mantain, or do not have a line of credit at all - thus cannot "afford the dollar" in a sense, but that's beside the point. I've seen this specific argument of "if you're broke and cannot afford X product then maybe you shouldn't be yada yada" against piracy many times, and the simple truth is that is beckons a equally simple answer - the way people, broke or not, choose to spend their own time is no one else's damn business. This notion that the right for entertainment is some sort of luxury or commodity that should be exclusive for people with stable financial lives is... well, BS. I have seen plenty of cases of people dealing with severe ansiety and depression in which games - the rating nowithstanding - helped them to cope up with their issue and quite literally saved lives. Patreon is a very nice platform and i'm all for supporting an artist, but sadly is not for everyone, and the ethics of piracy may be a problematic point, but it's not that black and white and will never be. DS is swimming in bucks and will continue to do so, his game will leak and be pirated, and it will continue to do so, and both supporters and no supporters will play the game and continue to do so.
About the update, i am glad to see i am not the only one all hyped up for romancing Lisa
