From what I understand, Swegabe is already making big bank from Patreon? (Also, for those who complain about all the furry content in the Opala games - the Furries are where the Patreon $$$ are, and they almost always win polls just by how many they are/how high their tiers are). She views people making tributes/guest stuff of Farah/Opala/Osirah as free promotion of her game, which she gives out for free. As long as it keeps attracting new Patrons to her accounts, that's good for her. TBH I think her business model is one of the most sustainable ones out there. I think at this point I've seen the LOQO characters more in other artists' work than in LOQO.
