It may well be a good day for you and everyone else here that the game has been released here so close to it’s release on Patreon, but there are consequences to that.
How many subscribers are now going to leave Faerins Patreon because why should they support the game on Patreon when twenty minutes later they can get it on f95
That means a loss in revenue to Faerin, so at the end of the month not so much money coming in, okay that’s this month, think of it happening for the next 8 months and the same scenario happens, all of a sudden he hasn’t got enough to pay the bills because he hasn’t got the subscribers anymore.
That might not be a big deal to you or anyone else here, because most of the people on here think the devs are just milking Patrons anyway, but anyway rather than concentrating on the game he has to go back out and get a full time job.
Still doing the game and his job and then after 4 months, we get an apology post on Patreon that the game is wrapping up because he can’t do a full-time job and work on the game as well. All of a sudden there’s no game to wait for.
If we get the game here a few hours later than release on Patreon is that really any hardship to us.
I know it’s a pirate site but you’re not hurting a Multinational here you’re hurting an indie dev who relies on the money he makes as his livelihood, so he can solely concentrate on the game that you all avidly wait for each month.
Вы бы не увидели, что кто-то из игровой студии triple-a приходит сюда и отвечает на вопросы об их игре, нет, вы просто получите прекращение и воздержитесь от своих адвокатов, но Faerin делает. Он признал, что существует пиратство, и вместо того, чтобы бороться с ним, он бежал с ним и получил больше, чем несколько покровителей с этого сайта, он даже отвечает на вопросы людей, которые, как он знает, пиратствовали в игре, и принимает их критику на борт, он даже иногда реализует их, но должен быть баланс.
His Patrons should have some exclusivity to the game and not just twenty minutes, I know I will be facepalmed to hell over this post, but is waiting a few extra hours for the game you like to play worth it or getting a few minutes after release and a few months down the line suddenly losing that game because the dev has had to quit
