How can you be on a piracy site yet know nothing about piracy? Go buy a copy of a movie you like, better yet, go with a video camera into a theater and record it. Please then sell your bootleg copies in front of a police station and then report back to us.
I'm no authority on copyright laws but I'm absolutely certain you're wrong in this case.

Ren'py license agreement:
So yes you can sell games on Ren'py as for how you view patreon The games are given as rewards to those that support at a certain level so it is the legal definition of a sale or service in kind. The support on patreon at that specified level is a grant of a license to use the game for the period of patronage. Not for Resale
I don't have to prove it. They claim to be buying the games as soon as they're released, which implies they'd have to be pledging to the higher tiers so they can gain the earliest possible access. That's $10, $20 or even $30 or more PER game and then making their entire catalogue available for a measly $1. There's no way they'd be turning a profit with that business model unless they had maybe thousands of patrons. And you can bet your ass they're not playing the long game because they'd be stupid not to know it won't be long before they're shut down. They're pulling a hit and run.
So I have got it wrong and I apologize about that comment I made. So if someone cannot buy the game and are only contributing money to the devs, because of using Ren'Py for example. Then surely anyone can share the games if they so choose? What legal rights do devs have to stop it, is what Miagamehouse doing illegal? or just morally wrong. I am no expert on the subject so can someone enlighten me. Can a dev sue them in a court of law, for what they are doing.
They aren't contributing money to devs though. They're just copy/pasting download links from here and selling it for $1.
thats just in theory. how is "give me 1$/3$/5$ a month or you dont get access to my game" anything but selling it ? maybe you dont buy it, you can call it a subscription fee but its definitely far from support. especially with someone like Palmer for example who even has DRM on his game.
i dont think any devs here can sue you if you download their game and present it somewhere else as yours. but the platforms you are using to sell it to others might step in and ban you.
Not entirely accurate. You can report a Patreon account for copyright infringement using this form for "

Patreon is subject to the laws of the state of California and US copyright and trademark law. Which Infers that when you create something it is your Intelectual Property or IP therefor ownership is implied. why we don't sue US law is costly lawyers are expensive and by the time you won the case you spend more on court and legal costs then your patreon makes so you lose more money. Now if we were to sue you get together with multiple creators and do a Class action lawsuit. cheaper and more power to it as a group then one dev
One guy on discord said they posted the same mega link to one of his games but with a broken url. So they couldn't even get that right lol.
