Yeah, I tried it, and it worked fine until I got an error that made Ren'Py crash. The same event, tried several times, and always crashed. It's unstable. I had to reinstall the scripts and delete ModOptions.rpy from the game folder to make the AVN work properly. So, I don't recommend it.
Plus it's a scummy thing to do, riding someone else's coattails to make money. The developer puts in a ton of work on an update, then a modder comes along, does comparatively nothing (a game update can take months while the mod for it takes just a couple days or even hours), and expects to get paid too? F'n parasite behavior tbh.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. I agree that a lot of modders do relatively little work in comparison to game devs, but there are exceptions to this. There are quite a few modders that put out mods for dozens of games and are active with their updates for those mods. For the majority of modders than I have seen that do have a Patreon/Subscribestar/etc... account, all they are asking for is donations if you like their work. No money requirement. No paywalling content. Just a chance to drop them a donation if you think that their work is worth it.
Where is this modders patreon? Can you show me? Or are you just talking out of your ass?
