In order to get away from all the Patreon censorship and censorship at all,why not the games are free and have a legit mining script in them,with the players being informed about it.It takes care of censorship,piracy and allows the users to control the quality-the better the game,the more people play it,the more money the developer makes.And what obstacles to that happening do you see?

It's a fair point and I wont mind sharing my processor for developers.

But, with that in mind, it's a welcome to grind fest ! Sand box games like Big Brother would make you wait a month instead of a week until you can move forward in an event ! Or some huge maps in RPGM games, without the ability to run :p. As for visual novels ... I don't know, maybe walls of useless texts ... or better, a veeeery slow text scrolling.

I'm not grumpy, I'm just coded that way.

Without forgetting the tons of demo only games with no other purpose than running the mining script.

Or, what is already done with some VN, annoying 5 seconds pause between each screen.

Well,he demo verisons are supposed to be free so no script on them and information about a developer doing the dirty tricks mentioned above,will spread very fast,thanks to this forum,so users will have the choice to support him by playing his game or not,And little,by little only the good ones will be left.it is not a perfect option,but I don't see a better one,because the censorship is killing the genre.

Yeah, that's not gonna fly with most people. I'd rather donate my own money than what could potentially be malicious software.

Utorrent, I think, creates a ghost process that doesn't get shut down with the program that does just this. That ... ain't ... cool.

Yeah, this idea is just asking for trouble. It would encourage more games like BB, and I know, you've said "good games" would be rewarded, but that simply isn't true. What makes BB, MotH, and similar titles so popular is that they function on the same risk reward system as gambling. That system triggers a psychological event known as Sunk Cost Fallacy. So long as there is just enough sexual content to make the grind seem worth it, you will play and play and play just to get that gratification in the end. Meanwhile, the amount of time and energy you're devoting to each "win" rises exponentially in comparison to the value of each win.

In short, it would encourage porn games to become more and more like mobile games, rewarding you for spending hours doing nothing by giving you some new content, and then constantly making the grind harder and harder.
