I can only wonder how many pirates on a pirate site would care if they offended someone on discord

A nice little fable is 'The Scorpion and The Wolf', it's a fun read.
There isn't a difference between the Patreon version and the Free version so duplicate error reports happen anyway. Sure some developers use that as a chance to fix minor bugs and bump the version number up so they get more time in the Latest Updates spotlight (It's free advertising

) in case leaks happen but others don't like fixing things for the free version as it somehow devalues the paid version

...
Nope, no developer has to make a press statement apologizing for something outside their control like a pirate doing what a pirate does on a pirate site (especially on the bloody pirate site

). When is the last time you heard EA making a press statement that pirates offer such a better experience to their customers (Even when some of their game won't work without pirates

)? Shaming a pirate just sounds silly but apparently some people will go into a cafe and complain that people are there drinking coffee

. It doesn't undervalue the Patrons either as they give money to support the dev in creating the game they enjoy and engage in the game development (Polls, private chat time with dev, concept art, and other extras). Being a Beta Tester (yep that is what Early Access is) doesn't change that as Patrons can still play the game 'early' regardless.
As for betrayal well I'm not sure where the dream started that all pirates everywhere somehow signed a secret embargo treaty with Indies but at some point the game will become too popular and that will implode. That is usually around the 5k-10k range. But a man can dream, a man can dream...
Still I guess some people haven't gotten the welcoming song.
