I pledge to just shy of 27 people. Out of that 5 devs give me rusty trombones to not leak for 2 days after release. Rest i either bug test or moderate there discords for and they know resistance to piracy is useless. Plus this site is free advertisement. Heck half the people i support have stated numerous times f95 has increased there money. Hell some devs are on 70k a month ffs or were on think his popularity dropped. Point is we are pirates and game will get leaked. But uf your super nice to those leaking the games they may hold of leaking for a few days. Never known any pirate to wait a week to leak tho
firstly lemme say this game is a bit of alright....fantastic job from the dev/s....lacking buttlovin but its early days
on the whole subject of patreonage...my dislike for the site is for many reasons. most predominately is the fact that you as a patron supporting projects have absolutely no safety net. if a dev quits you get nothing. the fact that you are paying an investment into the development of a project is why you have a right to use that product as you see fit, whether that be keeping it to yourself or uploading to a pirate site, surely you pay for that privilege.
the only way for devs to get around this is to release full projects and use donations/funding towards the next project.
lets be fair, if you invest into something you do expect to have something back and with patreon games the dev is releasing their copyright to those donors/investors.
so I'm in full total support for your comments and am currently dusting off my pompoms and re-sewing my cheerleader outfit as I type....I refuse to shave the beard though
