Does anybody know the origin of the gif?

They wouldn't get anything unless you actually entered any personal info in the fake sites the links direct you to. If you did accidentally click on them, you're fine as long as you didn't try to log in or create an account or pay for anything.
I've done some basic investigating and sent the results (including detailed screenshots) to Patreon regarding all three of the dev's patreon accounts. For anyone curious as to the specifics:
Each account seems to be completely unrelated to the rest, no cross-links at all. Two of them use MEGA as a distributor, the third uses Itch. (I've also reported them to those sites.) All three games contain links to the same fake "NordVPN" impersonator site. The domain name is very obviously fake and the trademark info is for a different company entirely. They also failed to hide info on the billing service they're using (which has also been alerted to the phishing site using their services, as has the domain registrar.)
It's interesting to me that the same dev uses three patreon accounts that are kept isolated from each other, and they only use itch for one of their games. It makes me think that they were playing the long game, building up three different projects using different pages and distributing services to maximize their chances of successfully sending people to malicious links since even if one account was found out the others might not be.

Their genius plot only foiled by making 3 almost identical games.

This is the part where we point and laugh at the idiots who kept saying these totally weren't the same devs

Would be best to have this removed, and related as well, or so in a way or as said above blacklisted / with warnings.
Keeping it around on will only increase the platform for such attempts and that similar attempts might not go unrewarded.
First it is phishing, later it becomes other types of scripts.
Consequential, if accidentally would slip through again, because lets say they update but the not properly scrubbed again, the site and hosted links can become flagged in worst case scenario.

It doesn't. I would need the images/videos files for the DLC. The DLC files are in a higher payment tier, and frankly after the shit the dev pulled, I'm not giving him any money.

I don't know if the DLC is even available offline, cause I paid for one month, I did get the DLC but for the web version.
