ICSTOR already admitted on his discord that f95 tagging his game as abandoned was a catalyst to him changing the deadline to the 14th so this site does have an influence since its the largest site of a niche market and the Trending tab makes it easier to see the most popular games. It's a pirating site for sure but it unironically serves as an area for exposure. You can see that by the sheer amount of game devs here. Back when I wasn't a broke college student, I would be a patron of NLT and ICSTOR by finding their games on here. If you google a porn game name chances are that the second or third result will be this site. Adding a new tag such as "Unreliable dev" takes so little effort that you're practically wasting your time arguing against itHe was already established dev when this forum had like 50 thousands of users... But it's not a point.
Point is he is not getting that much of income from here, in fact it takes away more than it gives.
Asking f95zone mods to "take action" by adding or keeping some prefix is irrational.
On another take, this is not exactly place for providing rational arguments...![]()
