Good way to keep them from becoming Patrons. Do you think people find games on Patreon? No, they find them on the "pirate" places - sometimes put there by the devs themselves.
Time is at a premium now and, this change - focusing on responding to those who provide $ support versus those who don't, makes perfect sense.
This is now his business (once he built up his income stream from $ supporters, he quit his full-time job and made AVN creation the full-time job).
Any business person gets to decide where their time is best spent.
If someone wants more time from a business - and time is a major currency for the dev - why shouldn't the dev focus on those willing to pay for that time?
If someone reads this dev log and decides not to support the dev with $, IMO - they were highly unlikely provide $ support to the dev in the first place.
Bigger picture - if someone is unwilling to throw the dev some $ support after taking ~ 2.5 seasons of content for free, why would they change?
F95 is a place where we get to take an AVN for free.
* Some of us view it as a place to 'test drive' an AVN and, if we like it enough to come back (especially if we come back year after year) and enjoy the AVN, then we provide some $ to support the dev (whether it is equivalent to a few US Dollars 1 time or becoming a regular $ supporter on Patreon or SS).
* Some view it as a place where they get to take something for free and they are
owed more rapid updates, better quality renders/story/animations/contact with the dev (and we know that the devs' inability to meet these 'Needs' must be Milking - right?)
Devs have little control over this.
What they Do control is Their time.
RC is just explicitly stating how he will prioritize his time.
If someone does not like this - no one is forcing them to keep coming to this thread and take NMM for free...
Cheers!!
