not sure if its true, but someone said that an investor gave the idea for online, i dont think it has to do with f95 completely, but even then when people pirate its more like free advertising, because i know that a lot of people actually end up supporting a project after "testing" it, as well as purchase it, i do that myself because i dont want to pay for a game that is misleading or doesnt have content. Its not like every pirate is a direct "sale loss" because someone wouldnt even know about the game in the first place nor would they even try it if it meant paying. I feel like theres a lot of misconception with pirating, i believe that AAA titles suffer the most from pirating but smaller indie devs benefit from it. I always look through the new posts and every now and then theres the small dev thats barely starting up, they show their games for free and they get a decent amount of support from posting it here.
No, you're right that another company did offer to host the online service, so they could stress test their cluster of hosts. ProjectH was also offered free motion capture work by that same company. But ProjectH also took advantage of that to use it for DRM because of piracy. That was something they told their patrons.

You're also correct that piracy does convert some people over to paying customers. It converted me, but it also it's also proven that some people will only pay for a product if they are unable to get it in a free manner. This is how porn site still survive, because not all clips are freely available. Some people see that 5 minute clip and they wish they had access to the full scene.

if I pledge $25 more and I have already pledged $70, would I be in capitalist tier? I'm curious whether a one time $95 pledge is a must.

The fact that it says one time suggests it's a requirement to be put on that list. They would then factor your previous pledge history along with that 95 into in game currency. But I'm pretty sure you can't trickle into that tier and must pledge that amount all in one go.

Same with the 200+ tier.

Steam has been very slow to approve it. So far they are running a dev only closed beta test for the non-vr version. They need to make some changes to the VR version, which have been made to the non-vr version. Once the changes are done then the VR version needs to be approved. They are hoping to conduct a more public beta test soon. They also said they don't know how many keys Steam will give them for this.

Thanks for the update Echo, honestly i was surprised when they went for the steam release in the first place with steams track record with these types of games,i hope they are able to get approval without having to gut the game to much.

Well, a listing on Steam = free money. The only other PC game store that maybe has as many eyes on it is the Epic Games Store, but they don't allow adult games.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the delay.
"We just received an offer from a famous publisher who decided to invest 15 million usd in developing the campaign mode into a fully fledged cross platform game. I have verified this offer with their CFO...but not sure what's the catch atm."
The money sound nice but I have a feeling if they accepted that they'd loose a lot of control over it. Also I doubt it could ever go cross platform unless all the adult content was gutted.
