I think its good to delay maybe one day in sharing link to support developer.

I agree with you @Arasharia12, I'm a patron of this game and delaying the link may get Faerin more patrons.

I was thinking the update was out but all I see are people being brats over "don't leak the update" or "gib me update". *Gives side eye of death*
I figured Faerin could use the publicity that spreads like wildfire after each leak but to their own, I suppose. I did find some interesting info. With the releases being leaked within hours, @Faerin has caught up to several devs in HALF the time. Like Dystopian Project (Claire's Quest) or Towerfag (Princess Conquest?) have been around since 2016 and Faerin started in June 2017
So, tell me, friends. How is this advertisement hurting our good Faerin?? I would like to believe all this good increase in income is because of Faerin earning it? Or are you saying it's one or two patrons that hold all power??

(Faerin is within reach of overtaking balsamique (Dune flash games) and Innoxia (Lilith's Throne))

The fact that the top 4 earner on patreon does the same job than Faerin and release his game to everyone freely tells volume.
Only recently did he created a short delay between patreon and non-patreon but he was already at its top place before that.
People support a patreon because they want to feed his project. Not to get access to a game that is going to be leaked in no time anyway.
I find also ridiculous to think that people who aren't willing or able to support on patreon will do so just to reduce the delay by a day.

i dont mind if they are holding back an update for several hours (maybe days) to give the pledgers advance.
All i have to critizize a little bit is that they dont judge all same way.
I remember "Melody" and "Dating my Daughter" been leaked 4 Minutes (!!!!!) after release.
4 minutes - that means: release, download, re-upload and post the link - within 4 minutes - i still cant get over this.
they should treat all the same way - maybe not to leak within x days or so on (but same for ALL)

Well advertisement does not guarantee a revenue... It is actually desire (must have it), what generate the biggest share of revenue.
So, in the case of MotH, there were no updates for a long time, because of the entire game/UI overhaul etc.. In his case he needed to give freebies away.. but now, he needs to start making money again. And this means, telling his patrons not to leak the game! Just think about.. it is actually their own money (patron's money) they give away for free...
Compare Gumdrop and Faerin for example.. First one hadn't released anything in the last year, just recently he released a ("not good") Christmas Special (did not play it, but this is what people write in his thread) he made in 3 weeks... and he earns >8K a month! For literally doing nothing! Now take Faerin, he release every two weeks a new update.. and people are still not convinced to pledge to him! ... Ok, I don't know how much he earns a month, because he doesn't publish it (in my opinion not the best public advertisement - however, it is his decision, not my!).
Do a few patrons hold power over the development process?
mmmhh... In my opinion they do... because patrons are the one who mostly decide, what next content should be. This could be good but also bad.. As long you need venture capital to expend you have no other way, as to give patrons some "power". But they should not be involved to much into the dev. process, because otherwise they ruin the game ...
Just my 2 cents!

Damn this thread has gone to hell. Personally i dont give a damn about devs requests to with hold an update. This is after all a pirate forum. However to avoid being burnt at the stake by faerins keyboard warrior defenders this update i will take a step back. Does seem slightly odd most devs are popular because of this site. But each to there own. I will hang up my pirate hat for this update. Also i support devs to support development. I do not support devs to get game updates. As most devs maintain game will be free and by leaking new updates you only increase a devs popularity. Lewdlab, pandelo even bloody gumdrop gained from games leaking here. If your against piracy your on the wrong damn site. If you want a perfect little site where everythings sunshine and smiles might i suggest visiting the my little pony official site. Rant over i will refrain from leaking this update out of respect for faerin. Next update however will be released mere moments after being posted on patreon. Viva la perverts viva la pirates viva la 2 pumps

I agree with almost everything you said. The one thing I disagree with is what I quoted, and that is because I think you've already made a "really good" game.
