Sir, this is a "pirate" website. Developers don't get paid for people playing games on here. If you think it's about marketing the product...How can you state this so matter of fact?. You make it sound impossible for a mod/staff member to collude or simply act on their own behalf to promote or degrade a specific game? Have you never heard of a pay for play review or product placement promotion, a overzealous mod pushing their view point over others, etc. Lots and lots of possibilities.
If a person downloads a game from here with falsely raised reviews (listed as a 4 star when it's really only a 1 star) and the game is really shit - the developer got no income from it.
If a person downloads a game from here and they enjoy it (no matter whether its rated 1 star or 5 stars) - they do have the option to then support the developer on Patreon, Subscribestar, or whatever. However, the vast majority of people who download from here never, ever do that. Because, the major reason most people download from here is because they don't want to pay anything, in the first place.
There are tons of 1-star reviews for this game - and many games - on this site. I have personally seen some of the reviews that people like the person I replied to have referenced because the reviewer then whines in public in a new thread. Eventually, a screenshot of the deleted review is posted because of the bitching and its lack of being an actual review, but more a rant or off-topic drivel in itself is completely obvious why it was deleted.
F95 solely earns money on the advertising they place on it. The mods are volunteers.
Again, it's a conspiracy theory that has not basis in reality. And, again, this is all off-topic for this thread.
