There is a big difference between thinking you're entitled to something and then just doing something because you want to.
Why wait? Because it is the right thing to do, perhaps? It isn't pointless, the point is to show respect to developers by waiting until they are ready to give it for free so the people who actually pay for the privilege of getting it early actually get it early. As it is now, we barely get it a few hours before the free players entirely because of these leaks and, since the only real point in being a patron benefits wise is the earlier release for this project, it takes away the incentive to be a patron for anyone who needs more than just wanting to support to be one.
So you appreciate that they incentivize the game being put on long term hold if not shut down entirely by the developer for potentially stress related, or other, reasons?
Indeed, thank you Selebus for being so generous over the more than a year of this game's development.
This part I agree on, entitled would mean you think you have some sort of right to get for free what others pay for. You have been very clear this is not the case.
Actually, the action figure analogy stands. My nephew has his allowance; he easily could've bought it with his own money. OR, he could wait a month and get his parents to buy it (so he gets it for free).
You even had to drag politics into this, blows my fucking mind. Guess what, America isn't the center of the universe, weird huh?Please don't do this. This ain't nice, and to be blunt, you're the reason why good creators get depressed. Show some basic human dignity, please >_<
And develop enough discipline to be able to wait 2 weeks for a game! Seriously, it ain't hard...my 7-year-old nephew was able to wait a MONTH (2 week s* 2) for his parents to buy him the action figure he wanted...
Also, your quote makes me think you're a republican
You're typing this on a forum dedicated to piracy. You're typing this on a forum dedicated to piracy. You're typing this on a forum dedicated to piracy.
Not that it matters what this forum is dedicated to, just because it has that purpose means nothing. No, stopping would mean we DON'T care because we are letting things go on without a word. Helping isn't even the point and if you really want us to stop, then don't give us a reason. Piracy is a very real threat to this game just like it is any other one man game and we treat it as such. I'll admit it, I am a pirate of necessity, I pirate when I have no other choice other than to ignore a game I really want to play. Before I found this game worth the money, and that's an understatement, I did pirate even this. I stopped when the game won me over, instantly, and immediately went to subscribe at the next available opportunity.
Even with the added context, the action figure analogy still doesn't stand because he's still having to pay for it, there is no payment required to download a leak.
I appreciate that they're willing to pay for what other people aren't or can't, and then sharing it with no benefit to them.Why wait? Because it is the right thing to do, perhaps?

You seem to be missing a point to this conversation, there IS a downside to the leaks, it incentivizes the developer to quit by causing them undue stress. That affects not just patrons, but everyone who plays the game, including people who play free whether legitimate or leaked.
Also, if you think being called a Republican is bad, just wait until you hear what actual Republicans, myself included, get called on a daily basis. Not that I care who calls me what, they can call me the worst names or whatever in the English language and it won't phase me.

the later the better, i do not particularly like anal sex and this is one of those games where I can't just skip or not get a scene.
There is a reason. Mostly the reason that it would be illegal. You will not see this game have a price, or see it on steam. And that is the end of that
Don't you mean "Wide stance in the public restroom?"
You're allowed to express yourself despite what purpose this site has, yes totally. I'd even say that expressing these concerns of yours about the future of the game and the effect it has on the dev is welcome, but removing the context of where you posting these comments and saying that it means nothing is odd to me. I'll try and explain why.
I could see how posting these comments here is a way to make it more bearable for a dev which you appreciate or want to help motivate and I'm not going to make that out to be a bad thing. Again we come back to the importance of the context of where you are posting this, if helping isn't even the point then what is it that you are hoping to achieve by visiting a piracy forum because piracy happens on said forum? What's the end goal?
Then let that same process happen to others organically. I'm assuming that you finding the game worthy of support was not informed by people telling you over and over again that you're a morally bankrupt piece of shit with no remorse for hurting a human being mental well being by downloading their game for free. It was probably the game itself, right?
I get that. I can't sit here and tell the dev how he or she should feel or in what way they are allowed to be affected by piracy. I'm of the opinion that piracy helps in more ways than not, but I can't prove that with numbers and neither can you or anybody else, and it would be on a case by case basis. The increased number of patreons when it's not leaked early are actual numbers, yes, but it's not possible to prove or disprove that the development would even get to that point without it being shared and appreciated in the first place.
In my opinion it doesn't matter how you slice it, some people will chose not to care and that's it. I don't play without the walkthrough being updated, and if that happens to be 1 day or 2 weeks after release it still doesn't matter to me. It's not about patience, it's about availability. I'm not sitting here shaking while waiting for someone to leak it debating whether or not I should join the devs patreon to be able to play the game. Some might. That's it. Offering a service that's more convenient that piracy is probably the most effective way to combat it.
There's absolutely no reason to believe that Selebus stole his copy of Koikatsu and that's not how copyright works.
Well being trapped in your own personal hell on repeat is bound to make anyone cranky
