wait, if you have to wait 30 days to get the game after you sub. in some months, doesn't that mean you have to pay twice before you can get the game?

So let's say I become a Patreon today, I still can't access the game until a month later?? :oops:
Nope. It's why I didn't end up getting the last release. My financial situation doesn't allow me to commit to Patreons outside a month here and there during a release, so I couldn't justify paying for a month of literal nothing just for the right to spend money again to finally access what I'm after. I may as well wait.
Well, everyone will get access a month later (public) :sneaky:

Ah yes the 30 day rule. I forgot about that. :4Head:

How does it exactly work tho?

I know that if I sub now, I wont be getting the game until next month (so 2 patreons installments). I don't tend to continuously support (with 2 exceptions) but I usually sub when new updates are getting released. My question is the following:

If I sub now and immefiately cancel it ,will I still be considered a new patron when I sub for the next update release (0.6) ? Like does the system remembers you've been a sub in the past?

I have minimal interest towards Dottie so I'm not really eager to play 0.5. However I don't mind subbing now just to be able to grab 0.6 when I renew my sub (the month it gets released) without having to go through all that bs.

I think is two consecutive months of subbing to be able to get the update, so for example to be able to get 0.5 you needed to have subbed in september and October.

I hope you're wrong lol. If that's truly the case I don't see the point of subbing.

It says 30 days for "new patrons", so I think it only applies to first time subs. It might let you download it if you've been a patron at one point 30 days prior of release and then resubbed today, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm not sure if he counts resubbing as "new patron". The tiers are explained on the membership page.

I think it makes sense anyway. Between the 30-day rule and the watermark, it's just a way to mitigate leakers. Assuming no one leaks within the next 30 days after release, by then it'll be moot because the public release will drop for free.

Question to anyone who is playing the new update. Is there any vaginal sex in the new update? i don't know if anyone can wait another year without actual sex. This update needs to have it.

I spot 34 likes on the Patreon post but no sharing of the riches. I hope that the supporters can find it in their hearts to give back to the community.
I mean they probably aren't going to risk it as they said they watermark the game so they know the Patreon who leaked it.

The patreons are the ones who asked for the 2 months wait for new patreons. His supporters don't like pirates very much.

I believe it's only first time subs that must wait but you can talk to the dev on Discord and explain your reasons he will likely understand and accept what you want.

That's so weird. According to developers, the first two weeks are the most important for game sales and Denuvo has proven to helped their sales.

This guy's DRM is the exact opposite of how to make sales. The 1 month lockout means people aren't going to want to buy into his patreon and just wait for the month, when it's free for everyone. The guy is missing out on sales. Sure, pirates get it faster, but i'm sure he would sell more copies. in the end, it would have been an increase in profits, not loss.

edit: wait, i just realized his plan doesn't work. it locks out newcomers for 1 month before they can get a copy. 1 month... the exact same time it goes free to everyone. Why even subscribe in the first place if you get it for free in the same amount of time?

He's actually a reasonable guy and doesn't like the 2 months thing but he's trying to please the high-tier patreons and yes I agree it's very odd I have never seen anything like this before. Genuine people who won't leak are scared to sub because who would want to wait a month for something they paid for.
