The Buymeacoffee option is viable but will bring in maybe 10% of subs level cash. There is really no 'honor' amongst pirates. People who sub are usually people with raging hardons and a fetish who can't wait for self gratification. Itch at the moment is ID free but takes ages to payout and have to fill out US tax forms like W-BEN and W8 if I'm not mistaken on the forms.
Steam requires ID for payouts and also all receipts for ANY asset, be it Daz, audio or other, have to be produced to even be considered for publication. It really makes devs go through hoops but the money on Steam is the best, that's why most successful devs move to Steam asap.
It's the conservative agenda of most US states that is pushing platforms to punish 'sex' and to discourage any creative impulse in that area. That has a rebound effect on the rest of the world. It's a pity China is just as repressed, if not more, otherwise there would have been an alternative. European companies just tread the US line because they fear losing US business opportunities. So let's enjoy our rapidly declining liberties for the moment, one day f95zone might need a Tor browser and access via the dark net.
So basically going directly to Steam (or Itch even though it's a pain) would be the only way to do it without creators being branded as "sex workers?"

What about Renderotica? I see people can sell comics, novels, and games on there.

Don't know about Renderotica.

No it is not. Patreon now requires all adult content creators to upload an official ID or a copy of their passport so as to list them under a list of 'purveyors of sexual content' or in short a ' sex worker' as defined by US law which governs Patreon, a US company. Being Ukrainian, if or when he applies for a US visa he will have to answer YES to the question whether he is or has ever been a 'sex worker' and if he replies NO the US state department will deny his visa because Patreon has already listed him as a provider of sex content. If he replies YES the State dept may refuse him a visa because in their opinion he may come to the USA to provide such immoral sex products. For the money he was making it was not a risk worth taking.
FWIW once you're listed1 you're screwed cause you'll never get off 2 all countries that share travel information will list you as a current or past sex worker.
Big Brother is watching us...
I believe that F95 should not require a monetary source or trail to publish games on this platform. IDK if F95 was always a sharing platform, but it sure is now. Maybe a "free" game thread could be created with the same content rules as the "paid" games.

Cant anyone else continue this game or the developer wont give the copyright?
I think it's something else. Renpy is an open source, and the assets used are all available and copyable with a little effort; I know because he told me about some of them, but the story is only in SadPeppers' head.

Man, the game isnt even abandoned. Are you guys able to read?
This. My guess is he's going to work away until completion and the game will get a full release on Steam. He just won't be obligated to keep the hectic pacing a Patreon subscription often somewhat demands. So it might be a while.

That would be swell… except the dev also said he would update us on the progress of the game using this F95 thread since he shutdown his Patreon page.

Yeah he did ^^ Time will tell I guess. It could be that not much progress has been made since then. Since he's not on the time crunch of Patreon any more, if he decides to continue to chip away at PE2, maybe we won't be getting the game for a couple years. We'll just have to wait and see what the dev says.
