Patreon idea is that creators get salary as much as patrons support them. Creators works are not sold from Patreon. I am able to dl Creator games during my supporter time. I think there are no rule that prevent sharing those games and people who download them are not pirates as
ewzy said.
That is another discussion. that's not what I was referring to.
I'm not a law expert but the way i see it is a blurry line that both sides intersect because it is beneficial to both.
But creators definitely can and do have the right to remove their content from sites like this. But in most cases they understand that it is free publicity and it is beneficial for them. But it is always a decision of the creators
It's a little bit like twitch and games any dev or publisher can say they don't want the game to be broadcast live and twitch is forced to intervene and not allow these games on the site. Nintendo already did this a few years ago.
because technically twich like this site is full of illegal content.
To finish just an example of this site clearly stepping/overpass that line.
Honey Select 2 I can be wrong but I very much doubt they have any permission to have a game like this one here. (for me is a very evident case of piracy)
