For fucks sake are you delusional or what? EVERYWHERE!!! Literally everywhere! He can advertise his content on Pornhub or any other porn sites or on all of those sites simultaneously WITHOUT ANY COST and that would give him exposure 500 times bigger than here. And he will not have to argue with some smart-asses.Mmm i don't think i'm exaggerating the importance of this forum. Where do you find people to join your patreon? Where do you publicize it? I think you understimate the importance of this forum
Developers are getting here not because this place is offering them marketing opportunities but because their content is shared for free and it is taking impact on their earnings. Do not try to show this in any different way. They will get feedback about game itself and game's technical issues from paying customers.
There was never a dispute that we would not get content published here, Dev itself granted that and he tried to bribe community, so that we give him two weeks (14 days) period in which he will be able to sell his goods so he can try to increase his income and later he would share ALL OF HIS CONTENT for free.
This policy will hit wall sooner or later. Someone will figure a way to publish content so it can't get stolen/downloaded/shared (or it is very hard to do it). For publisher is same thing to loose money because of people sharing his content for free or to pay same amount of money, or maybe less, for that service.
