No, I cannot afford a 4090. I don't really want to disclose where I am from after learning about the retarded outdated laws of my country. It's best that I don't draw the attention of my local authorities. Laws on porn can be very retarded in some countries. In Japan, it's illegal to distribute uncensored porn, hence why all their porn is censored. In South Korea, it's illegal altogether to distribute any porn, but they have tons of camgirls. In China, it's also illegal.
It doesn't really matter where I am from, though. There are poor people everywhere. Plus I'm kind of disabled by severe eczema, to the point I can't even open a bottle without hurting my hands. I don't think I'm really comparable to the average person, even from a poor country. By the way, using the UK as an example, a RTX 4090 computer costs about £ 4000. The average savings for age 25-34, according to

, is £4775. It's pretty damn expensive.
My Patreon isn't particularly cheap. I just didn't set up tiers for like $50 or $100 USD. The lower tiers are similar to those of other VN developers. I just don't think my game is worth that much. I'm a gamer myself, so I know how other games of much higher quality sell. You can buy an AAA game for $60. You can buy a month of game time for WoW for $15. Even if I work full-time on my game, I can certainly tell you the production value of my game is much lower than these games. I don't think people should "pay" too much to support me. I'm happy if there are more people tipping me $1 or $3. I think that's about what you should pay if you want to pay, similar to how you tip street performers.
