Man... I actually want to cry
Not really, He has mentioned all of this before with how everything is affecting him and his family. And he has mentioned on several occasions that when every update gets leaked on f95 his income literally chumped.Well that was abrupt.
Sadly this is true. While this is a piracy website, this game was probably THE game which was leaked the fastest while the Dev did not have a large enough following to compensate for this. There are other games here which get leaked very fast, sometimes within minutes, but those Devs are large enough that it does not endanger the development. Sadly this is not the case for this game here.Not really, He has mentioned all of this before with how everything is affecting him and his family.

Flynn needs to support his family and their well being with a career change that will actually do something. This wasn't really abrupt this was something that was bound to happend.
sad to say, this is his game and his life is more important than this game. best of luck.Game is dead

Sadly, that was the main case yes. Flynn maybe had around 200 active supporters. While his game were leaked within hours of its released updates while the actual date would be around 10-20 days for the public verison to be out.Sadly this is true.

This was exactly the game I was thinking about. The latest Eternum-Update was leaked within minutes, yet the Dev does not have to worry, since they have a huge following. For a game like Stray Incubus with only a fraction of the active supporters, it is simply deadly if it leaks too early too often. Games like this basically live of people supporting for a month to get the new Update early, with it being leaked within a day those dont have any need to do so.Sure games like Eternum gets leaked often aswell but the major difference is that Caribdis is working full time on the game with income of around 20-28k/month. With almost around 2 thousand active supporters... It's an absolute insane difference.
While I fully understand the concept of piracy and the will that drives people to become the ultimate hero, sadly, these heroes also destroy one's life while they bask in the praise of the masses. This affects us HS developers the most, who are denied of possible passive income from Steam. All we have is our income from Patreon; without that, we are also nothing.Sadly this is true.
