You think all the creators of adult games on Patreon have bought all the assets they use in make those games?

I don't know but your right and many may have not. That's a thing i can't check. I only donated for a couple of game and these used 3d asset i couldn't immediately identify as reused shared stuff or 2d drawn stuff and that didn't hid stuff behind a Patreon only wall.
Edit: I need to rewrite " hid stuff behind a Patreon only wall." into .. "too many stuff" if i remeber correctly Portals of Phereon has Patreon only content.

Be careful with this game since in the Changelog section in version 0.17 there is nothing written so there is nothing new that justifies that you donate to get the key, also check the photo and video files you will see that it is all the same as the version 0.16 well the only new thing is where it asks for the key, so be careful not to bite ... it reminds me of incstor a lot.

Effort or not the game is still made using pirated videos... It is extremely hypocritical to take that content and put in anti-piracy measures. I say this as a patron who has played the update lol
Having access to a games files with all the pirated content in it (which most people don't know how to access anyway), doesn't change this at all.
At the end of the day you can't make a game which is built around pirated assets and then discourage piracy

Finally downloaded it and it's for sure not the English version. Doesn't seem like there's English at all and it's packed really weird. Needs Java for some reason, I have no idea why either.
My antivirus kept on throwing errors up on it, got it working and played it last night, now something random happened this afternoon and it's stopped working randomly.
I hate this developer, I'm a patron but I'm def waiting for someone to pirate the game just so I can play it.

I got it working properly, says it's only the 0.12 version of the game unless they never updated that part of the QSP file. Either way, I'd steer clear of this release to be honest. I'll repack some stuff and edit this post for anyone who still wants to play it in Russian.
EDIT:
Ok, extract the file where you want but move the pic folder from the original game in assets/standalone_content to the assets/standalone_content folder of the 7-zip you just extracted. Then go back to the main folder and double-click MBF.exe and play, in Russian but half-yay.
EDIT2: Looked at their site and they managed to piss off pretty much all of their donators with the new player. So they may go back in the future to the old system or whatever. If not maybe someone can share the actual English qsp and can just bypass it with what I got. QSP is really hard to DRM, so whatever they're doing is just odd as hell.

I think he encapsulated and encrypted the updated file in the executable, or downloads it as needed then injects it into the player. The new launchers pissed me off as a patron, I want to report him for it but I don't really want to ruin the game for everyone just cause of one shitty dev.
I assume someone will figure out how to remove the DRM, it's pretty pointless, the more you annoy someone with bad DRM the more people will try to bypass it as a challenge. It's why most games just don't bother with DRM anymore, so dumb.

From what they mention on the site, it seems like you have send them your email then they manually verify your email as a supporter then when you launch the game next time it checks that you're on the verified list and downloads whatever's required to play the game. So pretty much just need whatever it downloads to bypass it all. A lot of effort for something that could probably be bypassed fairly quick.
Yeah, I subbed up then a couple hours later I got an email. I got the game working after getting my antivirus to ignore the launcher, which was a pain cause he's doing a lot of weird linking that my antivirus absolutely hates with a passion. Went to play it earlier and I think the game did something weird again which my antivirus picked up as bad, so I had to delete everything and reinstall it again, which is massive pain in the ass, and now when I tried to decrypt it again the game started giving me a random error message in russian, and won't let me decrypt it.
God this developer is an idiot.

Isn't this just the same protection "Son of a bitch" had? If you supported the game, you typed in your email to unlock it.

Guess it did have an activator at one point, think it didn't do very well.

Which is kinda dumb. The assets used are not the devs in the first place. On the other hand what devs have bought their assets in the first place?
But if you only want patreons to play and only patreons can play how do you get new customers to your project? They just see the page and think "awesome let's give this dude 5 bucks so i can play the game only to find out i don't like it. Can i have my 5 bucks back please?" NO!
Devs gotta gamble on the fact that the game has to be awesome from the start. (never played i wouldn't know)
From a business point of view this doesn't make much sense.
From a anti pirate point of view this makes alot of sense. But the irony of it is just to much for me.
went on patreon and supported yesterday. today i see that i got a e-mail from them with a link downloaded and was following their startup directions until my computer detected a Trojan horse in the .exe file. can anyone tell me more about this? is this known and what do i do now? I dont dare opening it now

Run the file through your anti virus software. If it detects something that could be bullshit from the AV. You could also upload said file and ppl who know their stuff about malware take a look at it. But i suspect because it unlocks stuff or triggers a download your AV yells an alert to the screen.
I have programs for work who also trigger alerts but are absolutely harmless.
I ran it successfully with old version MBF.exe, but the content is Russian. Please share an English qsp file, thx.

Well it did its purpose until someone did spread the qsp once it was unlocked. That is usually how it goes with piracy.
