I really don't usually jump into the middle of discussions about leaks or this site or game quality but I have an opinion here and I think I want to share it.
Regarding
royalcandy:
Ever since his first game, No More Secrets, he has been pretty open about what he is doing with these VNs. He knows this is a pirate site and that his game will be leaked but he still comes here and participates in both the Game thread and in the Fan Art threads for his VNs. Every dealing I have had with him has been an open dialog, even if I am not on his Discord or one of his Patreons. So anyone that has complaints about him or his products should carefully weigh if that is what is really an issue or if it is just something your mind has made into an issue.
Regarding F95Zone:
Never forget, this is a PIRATE SITE!, let me repeat that for people who are hard of hearing, this is a PIRATE SITE! Games get leaked, and most people, including myself, come here because they can get something for nothing. Plain and simple, people like 'free stuff'. Before you put to words any negative thoughts in a post just remember that you always get what you pay for. We can't and shouldn't complain about quality, quantity, how the renders look, how many pages, who is in an update and who isn't because if you are not part of the paying audience we have NO RIGHTS to anything. We are not in a position to feel any obligation from
royalcandy or any other dev for that matter. Now if what you are expressing is just your lone opinion that maybe the game is slipping or that you would have liked to see more, then there are ways to say that so you don't sound like an entitled little bitch or that attack the dev in any manner.
Please note, I am a pirate also, I know what to expect when downloading a VN from F95. I don't expect any dev to come here and hold my hand, to solve issues I have with a pirated VN. If you torrent any Adobe product (and I would guarantee that some here have) you don't go to Adobe and ask for support you are not entitled to as a pirate, why do we expect any different because it is a game from F95.
Any of you can agree or disagree with me, that is your prerogative. I just think that we should measure the words we type into a post. Let's not make any of the VN dev's that actually come here to participate in the forums never want to come back.
