We all know it goes though, telling people not to do something (even just gently asking) makes someone doing that thing inevitable (although it was already probably inevitable anyway, that's why they had to be encouraged not to in the first place). C'est la vie, after all.Not really. I'm just disappointed that there always needs to be a "hero" that disrespects the work of a solo developer, as if it's his sacred duty to damage his livelihood, just for five minutes of glory and a bunch of likes. Congrats for the Serotonin high, hero.
Oh and, of course, even a mod deleted my appeal on the OP to wait a bit before pirating my work.
And you people wonder why I haven't been replying to posts here since January?
Anyways, now it only depends on how the subs go. If I confirm the damage, don't be shocked if I do something about it. Because you're playing with the bread of my daughters.
By "you people", do you mean fans of your game that could of been potential subscribers that you decided not to respond to after you didn't like what they said?Not really.

yea this one's in deep freezer for me, might check it out after probably few yearsWe're at 0.9 and practically none of this is in. Developer is kidding himself if he thinks that piracy is what is hurting sales; personally I don't even think it's *worth* pirating as it is now. The last version I played was 0.6 last year and I won't be bothering torrenting 0.9, and most likely I'll skip 0.10 and 0.11 and 0.12 and so on until it receives actual sexual content.
Not trying to play devil's advocate here, but he already releases himself the game for free every month. If you can't wait a little for the latest release I don't think the problem is the developer.Upcoming tags for this game on F95 say (and on Patreon/Subscribestar implies) that the game is supposed to feature:
Multiple Endings, Cosplay, Romance, Voyeurism, Exhibitionism, Stripping, Teasing, Sleep Sex, Prostitution, Sex Toys, Lesbian, Handjob, Footjob, Titfuck, Oral Sex, Vaginal Sex, Virgin, Creampie, Anal Sex, Multiple Penetration, Group Sex, Bukkake.

I can't subscribe to someone with no track record making an experimental title which they straight up claim may or may not ever be finished—especially not when they come onto a pirate forum dropping lines like "you're taking bread away from my daughters" because the pirates didn't give them a two week grace period before getting our hands on the newest update.
It is not one's duty to give money every single month to solo developers who want to make a new unique game simply because of the fact that they are taking a risk yet plan to support it long-term. "It doesn't have the content you want, but buy it anyway! How dare you pirate it!?" This is basically giving the same argument that big name game publishers like EA and Activision give when they justify their "live service" titles that come out with next to no content but a "roadmap" of future content instead, often times getting their support cut early because of a lack of public interest. It was always a gamble for both creator and consumer.
For what it's worth, the most popular project on the site (Being a DIK) gets pirated literally within minutes of it being released to paying supporters, and still manages to rake in $100k USD per month. And DrPinkCake is a literal solo dev that does all of the story, artwork, music, etc by himself.Not really.

Almost two years for the content that people actually want in the game is not a "little" - that said, of course, if it's free you're not entitled to anything - but the dev is trying to make money off it so the complaints shouldn't come as a surprise.Not trying to play devil's advocate here, but he already releases himself the game for free every month. If you can't wait a little for the latest release I don't think the problem is the developer.
I´d say do something asap and and delay public versions at least 3 months.Anyways, now it only depends on how the subs go. If I confirm the damage, don't be shocked if I do something about it. Because you're playing with the bread of my daughters.
I'm going to be blunt. People who pirate, most likely will never buy the product they are pirating. So, whomever you saw as a potential costumer in here, you shouldn't count them in, and I know a lot of people here do in fact contribute to many projects, it's for you peace of mind.Not really.

Did you just compare developing a porn game to God and religion?I'm going to be blunt. People who pirate, most likely will never buy the product they are pirating. So, whomever you saw as a potential costumer in here, you shouldn't count them in, and I know a lot of people here do in fact contribute to many projects, it's for you peace of mind.
And to put things into perspective, Gods are perfect creatures in the eyes of their believers, and even them don't get to convince all people of their existence despite being "omnipotent" and "flawless." So, what can you expect from normal people. As a human being, you will have to deal with all sorts of perceptions people have of your person, and no mater how much effort and dedication you put into your project, there will always be someone who will complain and dislike what you do no matter how good it is, so take things in stride, take the good and bad opinions with a grain of salt. Focus on doing things how you think is best, don't antagonize the trolls, and critics, being stoic will help you cope with hostility and you'll have the moral high ground even if some people don't see it.
For me, there's no better example to show that people will have differing opinions even when something is supposedly "flawless" and there's nothing to do about it than to learn how to live with it.Did you just compare developing a porn game to God and religion?
Right, they are not the same,one is a porn game and the other is a dominion game and deception.Did you just compare developing a porn game to God and religion?
1. I am a subscriber and Im on F95 so no, your first comment is BS. People constantly generalizing the whole world and acting as their rep need to really learn to act with a bit more maturity and understand there are/can be exceptions to all casesI'm going to be blunt.
