That’s a false equivalence. FitGirl isn’t a discussion hub, people just download and leave. There’s no ongoing dev cycle to protect, no Patreon to sustain. Meanwhile, this dev isn’t a billion-dollar studio, they rely directly on support to survive. Calling others ‘mental gymnasts’ while ignoring how early leaks hurt smaller creators is the real gymnastics. It’s simple: when people know leaks happen fast, they stop paying including the impatient ones that want to play now, there isn't much to take advantage of their impatience they will pay, some though but now less. That kills momentum, and that’s not just theory, that’s how this stuff plays out, you are now categorized as a not smart pirate.The highhorsing in this forum is always so funny. F95, a well known piracy site has posters trying to chastise other posters asking for "heroes" or having a crash out cause someone leak a game in a piracy forum.
If you go to other well known piracy sites like fitgirl, you don't have posters melting down "think about the devs". Y'all just look like hypocrites when your posting on a piracy forum.
Having the mental gymnastics of games leaking early = lost subs is funny because the reverse is usually what happens. I sub to multiple patreons (even just this past week cause of 2 games here the streamer one and ntr'ed by a friend), im subbed to MRL cause leakers leak it early and I found it good.
