Personally, I wouldn't know about more than 95% of the games I've found on this site, if not for this site. It's one of the few sites that's actually effective when it comes to letting you locate games based on tags, and in my estimation, generally the best.Kid, too funny, I wish I was still a kid. I know exactly what it is like here and I don't care, nor does it bother me. It's a pirate site at the core and most updates are posted by leakers from patreon or repackers from steam. My points still stand though which is why developers don't spend any energy here because it has very little if no return value. Most just people crying for an update from the developer or bitching cause a test build got leaked and are too ignorant to realize the developer didn't post it publicly. F95 is just another place to get some initial attention. Once you gain some traction and supporters its a negative return.
So yeah your 'free advertising' fantasies are quite amusing but are also nothing but that, fantasies. Some tiny fraction of people that try something out downloading it here might go on to support or buy. But like all pirating the vast majority don't. Which is also what makes combating piracy pointless and if people aren't going to buy something you can't force them to buy it. Several social experiments by mobile companies have demonstrated that.
Also, that "tiny fraction" of patrons/paying customers can still be a significant number of people if your product is at least relatively popular and you don't vanish from the face of the earth for months on end.
