I am a Patreon patron but would only consider supporting a creator if he/she were actively developing games and/or Ren'Py novels of exceptional beauty, depth and quality. I would also consider purchasing completed games of that kind, for a one-off payment, rather than being drip fed them episodically, although I understand and appreciate the value of the Patreon model as a means to generate a steady and predictable income for creators.The real problem is Milfy has massive exposure still. Whenever you look up lewd games, it comes up as #1 on all sites (even here). You see teaser videos on pornhub and Xhamster, while looking at real porn and the comments make you curious what this game is about. That's how I first learned about lewd games 2 years ago, via a youtube suggestion.
A few days ago a Reddit thread blew up with someone asking if people actually played those 'you won't last 10 seconds' games that you get ads for on porn sites (even here) and within the thread it was popular to mention this site. So literal hundreds of new eyes came looking for what the community considered the 'best' game in this genre and when you click search by votes guess what game comes up as top rated...
So hundreds of new players download the game, fall in love with it and rush to Patron to support in the euphoria induced need for more. They are brand new and don't post here, they know zero about anything beyond 'that was really fun' and $1 a month is chicken scratch really. Being unconcerned, it takes literal months before they get curious enough to look for information and only then do they finally learn the truth and abandon ship, but by then, thanks to the exposure... he's already getting a fresh new batch of newbies donating.
Milfy was my first, and I got addicted to these games and played hundreds of others before I even realized Milfy was doomed. I never looked for information, I'd just go to a different site and download whatever game had nice preview pics. Eventually my addiction resulted in having numerous games I wanted more from and that is finally what brought me to this forum but for most, their interest never goes beyond passing curiosity and throwing dollars and a few games they enjoyed. See also Summertime.
That said even though I love Milfy City I would not part with any money, particularly long-term on a monthly basis, to support a developer who is no longer working as a kind of open-ended "thank you" for a marvellous creation he/she began but abandoned uncompleted. The superior art, story, characterisation, dialogue and design of Milfy City encourages support for Icstor from interested parties, eager enjoy entertainments and delights offered by such a compulsive and immersive virtual world, and I myself would probably be inclined to support Icstor financially provided the Patreon subscription were affordable and he produced regular high-quality updates of his games and commitment creating new games.
Until and unless that day arrive I will remain a sincere admirer.
