You are so wrong about this game though. I have been here since the early phase of the game and I have seen the game make only 200-400 bucks every time it got leaked. Once the leaks were delayed to a great extent, the earnings shot up. No rocket science here. Leaking early destroys a game's earning potential. It doesn't take an Einstein to figure that out unless that game already has a huge fan base or audience where it doesn't matter much if the game gets leaked early or not.They are 1000% wondering if it leaked beforehand and they added that after the fact...
There are a lot of dev's that have done this and do this, and for most it doesn't end well.
There are some that go even as far as watermarking builds, well one dev lost almost everything (shitty game anyway), the other got leaked and water marks removed.
Once people see that, that will easily stop new subscribers unless they nutty over this game.
You don't believe me? Go asking around small devs if you want to. Just checking graphetron should give you a good picture of how leaks affect small studios. Its devs game and they get to decide how they wanna sell it. So far they aren't complaining with how its going for them. So I don't get why you are so upset about them being able to earn more subs or not when the devs are doing great work and doing their thing. Just waiting a couple more days won't make anyone's balls roll off.
