Hope your employer doesn't think the same way about payment for your labor. patreon content allows for authors to continue their work. I know you did not asked for morals, but asking that question in an official thread is a bit disrespectful
Nothing says morals like a developer that abandons their ventures to come out with a new rehashed version, and the new rehashed version launches with things like 'save' being locked behind a patreon wall.
Patreon content allows most developers to milk their audience dry while updates are few and far between, leading up to a usually abandoned product.And it's infinitely worse than just buying an early access title, because patreon turns it into games as a service with very little updates.
4 chapters in over 3 years, making nearly 10k canadian a month, and you're looking to players of a porn game using stolen characters for morals.
