I remember those days too, and what I remember most is there were far fewer games and they were getting updated much slower and seldom went into great depth. It seems to me that the new fundraising models and outlets caused an exponential surge in the amount of naughty-rated content for people to play, the vast majority of it available for free.You can be skeptical. But it is what I do. Of course not to any untiered benefits. But if I like the game and it has monetization that fits into my principles I support. Games that have a free release with all content maybe one week after the patreon release are fine, if the content is the same. Unfortunately not too many games offer this anymore. I just can't bring myself to pay to unlock content behind walls. It is a direction I don't like. Probably because I have been playing these games before patreon came around, back when the games did not have much monetization and were done for fun or actual donations.
If you really wanted to go back to 2013 you could also refuse to play any of these games that were developed with other people's money and limit yourself exclusively to those employing the same old hentai pics purloined and packaged into yet another system and updated at irregular intervals.
