The download link you get from Vnorth when you pledge on Patreon, is unique for every individual who pledge afaik. Its tied to the identifier and a spread release can get tracked. Unloading on the people who bring you something is not the right way to go about it. That being said, if you want it with no fuzz, nothing keep you from pledge and get it that way either.
now think what would he do to ppl who would leek THEIR game THEY got after PAYING for it?? nothing..
its like you buy popcorn in store and then share to friends at school and get banned from the store...
he do know if he get banned on this forum and those russian forums. his game will neverr get any more patreons bc noone ever gona find his game, specially directly on patreon.
so he can do nothing that just threat,, like a small doggy who only bark but too afraid to bite.
and thats what these forum staffs should do too,, dev gets known thanks to them, and now he threaten ppl if they leek his game here (and that leeking was how his game even became known to begin with. just didnt make that much money yet), so forum staffs could just ban him from their forum, and delete his game thread.... if he doesnt want his game be availible for ppl and threaten = gtfo..
i would do that. and who you think would crawl back asking for another chance in the end??
oh well, idc about vnorth and this game. its too booring, stupid, grindfest with ultra ugly CG's, that didnt change and will never change to better. did stop at 0.4 and did look some new pics from 0.7 its still same ugly.
so every1 better pay atention to newcomers, there are a lot of promising projects, like ''max's life''.
