To begin with, any art requires sacrifice, this applies to your hobby of creating a game.I understand what you're saying, and you're right about one thing: you really have to be passionate to keep creating games, especially when the financial returns don't always match the time and energy invested. For me, Patreon members aren't just sources of income, but first and foremost people who believe in my projects and actively support them.
Therefore, when you began to focus on the time spent or the players who support you, it seemed to me personally that you depended on them.
Therefore, if you think everything is as you described, you do not need to tell people about it, it looks like excuses from the outside.
I didn't know financial contributions were motivation, I thought all the time it was a reward for the creators of good games, so I'm a fool.Of course, their financial contributions are an additional motivation, and that's why I offer them some perks in return. However, money isn't my only driving force. My main goal is still to create games that people enjoy and that bring pleasure to the players.
Are you not motivated by money? Then why are you selling pirated content and trying to justify support by hiding the sale of content behind it?
I'm saying that soon people really won't have the patience to tolerate version 0.1 selling content and they'll stupidly start sending complaints about such game developers.
