Since it looks like the coward leaker isn't a hero and didn't want to show his face to share with you the Special Renders for this cycle, here's the first one.
Oh, wait! Someone told me that s/he didn't do it because of heroism! S/He did it to earn some money at my expense because some servers were paying per download! Wow! What a surprise that lately, some leaked games appear with a "new" server, Buzzheavier, as the first link!
If you want to support other devs who have their games leaked, NEVER download from any link that isn't MEGA (it doesn't pay anymore a commission for people joining through the leakers' links) or GoFile.

Here's the first special render. There are three more waiting.



Tomorrow, the update was going to be released for Daphne's Tier, so today it was the turn for another Special Render. Thanks to Mr. Leaker, it won't, and everyone has it now. At least I was able to react 40 minutes after the leak.
Today, I bring you Samantha in a quest to rescue Meemaw from her kidnappers after saying, "Beam me up, Scotty". She doesn't know that Olivia already overcame them and liberated the rest of the kidnapped girls. She has tied the kidnappers and is feeding them cookies (cooked by her) and spaghetti (Scarlett's recipe). The Interplanetary Court of Justice is pondering if they will take any action against Meemaw.

Now that's good info. (y) I've never uploaded something for profit, so thanks for specifying that for all us noobs boobs beautiful innocents. Might be a helpful note to have in the OP if Bob69 deems it appropriate?

How on earth do they have that as a business model? There'd be no way to verify that people are uploading their own stuff, so not only do they have the same potential copyright issues as every filehost, but they're potentially allowing people to profit off the work of others? That sounds like more of a legal nightmare than normal...

Also, would they get enough uploads to cover the P-site costs? I'd think they'd have to be paying some high sub rates to be early enough to have a chance to profit from this ... and that's presuming enough people even keep using that site after the more "known" sites are propagated ...

The business model is there.
For the server, it's a way of getting subscriptions and visibility. Mega did that until a year ago; for every person who bought a subscription and the first file they downloaded after subscribing was My Dorm, I got a small percentage of that subscription. Not something crazy, in two years it was working I got a bit over 380€ (a bit over 15.83€ on average). They paid in bitcoins. I am paying 100€/year (8.33€/month), not payable with the accumulated funds, for my Mega subscription (exclusive as Tropecita Games), so I was earning the whooping amount of ~7.5€/month. Yes, I'm transparent, sorry if that's surprising.

Moving it to the uploaders/leakers, if they leak enough games and earn 15.83€/month per game they leak, since they only need one account (3€/month, 1 TB of space), they can potentially earn some money. The last update of My Dorm (all versions, they don't upload Android pre-patched) weighs 10.4GB (they uploaded 9GB because they missed the Android pre-patched). That means they can potentially upload 113 games of the same size on average. 113x15.83=1,789€. Their costs would be 113x10(they leaked it in the 10€ tier)= 1130€ + 3€ of the subscription. If those numbers are correct, they would earn 656€/month (almost 6€ per game leaked). That's pocket money for most of us, but I guess in some countries, getting 6€ is enough to spend some time leaking a game. I guess they provide those links to several sites, so I wouldn't be surprised if they earn a lot more than those 15,83€ per game.

About the legal nightmare... Buzzheavier has this on their site:

So they are covering for themselves.

As I said, if people want to stop leaks, download the games from Mega (not paying anymore) or GoFile.

Recently, I have been simulations of hairstyles for Scarlett. I have some favorites. I matched one of them. It looks good. How do you like it? Fits her?
