...You don't have to sign up to Patreon to download or play it...
You can read my earlier post here: https://f95zone.to/threads/netorase-phone-v0-19-le-stag.207035/post-16630621
I always download from the patreon. This is what I installed. It very plainly showed a notification to log in to patreon to play and would not progress. Someone a little bit up suggested there was a version without the DRM that was available from the patreon, but that's pretty much the same thing.
Canceled my sub over the DRM and I would encourage others to do the same.
Because, depending on how it's coded, the patreon API can be used to see who logs in, and the dev can block access at any time by simply revoking the rights. Some people aren't okay with that, since there doesn't need to be a reason provided. Post something on the patreon the dev didn't like? Revoke. Let a friend play the game without paying for it? Revoke.
Some people are just not okay with that level of access to their machine, such as myself. Even if it's only to 'slam the door in your face' and not remote access. Not to mention the number of vulnerabilities this opens up, which again, depends on how the dev implements it. Not accusing the dev of any malicious intent, but DRM on this game is just... A weird decision
absolutely insane to add DRM to a game as threadbare as this. the images in this game are the kind you can generate with 15 minutes of practice using online tools - and I don't say that about most AI games.
this game timed the market exactly right, releasing a phone game right before 10,000 of them flooded steam/f95/itch. that's it.

Do you even know how 3rd party API works? I'm almost 100% sure that it only checks if your account have token access/ you are subscriber. Since it's patreon API, he don't have access to that, it's all on patreon server, he would have to make his own server, with his own keys and maintance to see who tried to log in from where. If he would try to get a code that's sending your IP directly to him, the game would be propably blocked by windows defendeer or any other antivirus and it would be flagged as IP grabber.
And the API endpoints that he can use, as ar as I see is "patron_status" which checks if you are subscribing to him
Propably if someone is having a lot of time, he can get the update before, and the newest update, open the codee and check how that one line looks like
This makes no sense.
If this game wouldnt make a success, we wouldnt have a flood of the games.
It's not about timing up.
It's just about creating something diffferent than typical VN
thanks for the links, but only compressed version is for Android...need a Windows compressed version, tyia

The April fools update looks grim even if it was just a joke. Lol, so we are getting Ashley action while Laura does something else this update. Hmm, I'll be honest I don't feel that close with Laura anymore idk.
I do believe we need something fresh. However that happens we'll see.

So, I’ve been thinking about this for a while now—has Laura been with anyone before meeting the MC? Has the game ever mentioned anything about her past relationships?
I’m asking because during one of Ashley’s teasing scenes, she asks if the MC had been with anyone else before Laura. And depending on your choice, it kind of shapes the MC’s past.
So Le Stag or anyone else—has there ever been anything said about Laura’s dating history before the MC?

Pretty sure that same chapter mentions she has? In any case LeStag has mentioned on his discord that she had.

Yeah, I’ve played that chapter a few times with different choices, but I didn’t catch anything that really hinted at Laura having a past relationship. If LeStag confirmed it on Discord, fair enough—but maybe it comes up in another chapter or just wasn’t made that obvious.
Yes Laura had least one relation before MC, she already has some sexual experience before the MC, but probably wasn't a relation ment to be, as MC is way better for her, also because he isn't jealous type and let her free to experience new things.
